Poggio Argentiera 2005 Finisterre Red (Maremma)
- $60
Exotic spice, red fruit, herbal notes and cherry cola characterize this 50-50 blend of Alicante and Syrah. The wine delivers measured intensity but does boast deep freshness thanks to its acidity and menthol finish.

Poggio Argentiera 2004 Capatosta Sangiovese (Morellino di Scansano)
- Online Exclusive
- $43
Beautiful ruby concentration sets the tone for what proves to be an irresistible Morellino with clear blueberry, sweet spice and cherry cough drop. This comes alive in the mouth thanks to its inherent freshness; would make an easy match to most pasta or meat dishes.

Poggio Argentiera 2004 Finisterre Red (Maremma)
- $59
This is a relatively new winery worth watching. This spicy Alicante-Syrah blend has wonderful intensity and weight, chewy tannins and solid black fruit in the mouth.

Poggio Argentiera 2005 Bella Marsilia Red (Morellino di Scansano)
- Online Exclusive
- $19
You can really taste distinctive elements of sun-kissed Tuscany: You’ll get extraripe cherry fruit, exotic spice, leather and even a touch of licorice. The nose is not huge in intensity but it does speak of its terroir.

Poggio Argentiera 2002 Bellamarsilia Sangiovese (Morellino di Scansano)
- $18
Dense, with bacon aromas as well as murkiness. Not terribly defined, but it does pick up confidence with time. Plum, berry and cherry flavors precede a round finish that starts off fruity then turns warm. Tastes better than it smells.

Poggio Argentiera 2002 Finisterre Red (Toscana)
- $62
Heady and ultra rich; it’s a Syrah-Alicante marriage that’s on the cusp of syrupy and overdone. Aromatically, we’re talking caramel and toast, while the palate is so loaded with black plum and berry that it’s straddling the breaking point. Ultimately it’s just too heavy, oaky and clumsy to make the grade in the class it’s playing in.
