Winery review: "88 pts, Wine Enthusiast. Monte Antico-- A blend of sangiovese, merlot, and cabernet sauvignon-- is a great value choice that shows medium build in the mouth followed by bright notes of cherry and wild berry. The mouthfeel is smooth and spicy, but largely driven by simple, red fruit nuances."
My review:This wine tastes like a Super Tuscan for real! We were interested in trying a super tuscan after learning about them in class so we picked one up from Vintage Cellar. The nose is very spicy and harsh--but in a good way. The color was rather brownish red with crazy legs. The body was medium-light. The taste was initially dominated with strawberries, but cherry and spice took over the midpalate. This wine felt wide in the mouth, maybe because of the merlot component. A nice and long finish for this exceptional, balanced wine.
