    This breathtaking, superbly structured Syrah is dark ruby in color, with intense aromas of pepper, red meat and berry. Full-bodied, with masses of velvety tannins and a long, long finish of chocolate, berry and game. Why buy Guigal anymore? 1,750 cases made.

    Over the hill. Dry and bitter.

The rolling hills of Tuscany are home to ancient vines that grew wild long before modern times. Sangiovese is the variety of the region's best-known wines, Brunello di Montalcino and Chianti. In recent years, “Super Tuscans"—blends including non-native Bordeaux varieties—have gained in popularity and acclaim. The region's Mediterranean climate, with its warmer average temperatures, provides ideal conditions for the development of rich, structured, and age-worthy wines.
