Villa Toscano 2007 Tre Stellina Red (Shenandoah Valley (CA))
- Online Exclusive
- $24
There’s a lot of black pepper, briar and sage in this Sangiovese, Primitivo and Grenache blend, although it offers enough cherry fruit to satisfy. It’s very dry, and the tannins are such that the wine needs rich meats and cheeses to soften and mellow it.

Villa Toscano 2009 Viognier (Shenandoah Valley (CA))
- Online Exclusive
- $24
The alcohol level is nice and low, but at the cost of sweetness. This isn’t anywhere close to a dry table wine, it’s a dessert wine, with sugary- sweet pineapple, orange and vanilla flavors.

Villa Toscano 2009 Pinot Grigio (California)
- Online Exclusive
- $17
Made in the slightly sweet, crisp style that’s made this variety so popular in America, the wine has the flavors of pineapple juice, mixed with pears, limes and peaches.

Villa Toscano 2006 Estate Bottled Syrah (Shenandoah Valley (CA))

Soft and lush in the mouth, this Syrah has slightly sweet flavors of blackberries, chocolate, bacon, pepper and smoky oak. It’s an easy, gentle wine for barbecue.

Villa Toscano 2006 Old Vine Zinfandel (Shenandoah Valley (CA))
- $26
Soft, simple and rather sweet, like a chewy candy bar of cherries, currants, cocoa and crunchy granola. High alcohol makes it a little hot and unbalanced, but it will stand up well beside a fabulous cheeseburger.

Villa Toscano 2007 Jake's Vineyard Old Vine Zinfandel (Shenandoah Valley (CA))
- Online Exclusive
- $32
Brawny and fruity, this is a Zinfandel to drink with burgers and pizza. It’s a strong, hot, spicy wine, with peppery flavors and dry tannins. Think of it as California-style Chianti.

Villa Toscano 2007 Estate Bottled Syrah (Shenandoah Valley (CA))
- Online Exclusive
- $32
Simple, sweet, soft and hot in alcohol. That basically describes this Syrah. It has ripe flavors of blackberry and cherry jam.
