Villa Toscano 2007 Tre Stellina Red (Shenandoah Valley (CA))

Online Exclusive

Price $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. — S.H. (12/22/2011)

Villa Toscano 2011 White Barbera (Shenandoah Valley (CA))

Price $20

This bright, citrusy White Barbera has aromas and flavors of lemon, lime and baked bread. Its balance and tropical fruit finish will please a crowd. — V.B. (12/1/2012)

points

Villa Toscano 2010 Barbera (Shenandoah Valley (CA))

Online Exclusive

Price $22

This has dark, hearty fruit that is framed mostly around a taste of dried cherry. It’s a bit one-dimensional, finishing with a burst of leather. — V.B. (12/1/2012)

points

Villa Toscano 2011 Pinot Grigio

Price $13

This well-priced, light-bodied Pinot Grigio provides flavors of stone fruit—mostly apricot—with a tiny trace of petrol. It would make a fine apéritif, particularly alongside oysters or shrimp. — V.B. (12/1/2012)

points

Villa Toscano 2009 Tempranillo (Shenandoah Valley (CA))

Online Exclusive

Price $22

This Tempranillo gives off intense aromatics of ripe berry pie and has a crisp, smoky finish. In between it's big and brawny, delicious and rustic around the edges. On second sip, the flavors are wrapped in vanilla-kissed oak. — V.B. (12/31/2012)

points

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

Online Exclusive

Price $32

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. — S.H. (11/1/2009)

points

Villa Toscano 2009 Pinot Grigio

Online Exclusive

Price $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. — S.H. (7/1/2010)

points

Villa Toscano 2009 Viognier (Shenandoah Valley (CA))

Online Exclusive

Price $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. — S.H. (7/1/2011)
