The organic Tenuta le Colonne 2020 Bolgheri Superiore (in a heavy glass bottle) shows sweet-smelling cherry and Jolly Rancher with cedar oak and spice. The wine is full-bodied to be sure, with hints of clove and peppermint to close. The hot-vintage fruit feels rich but not especially complex. This is a very generous blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Cabernet Franc. Production is 45,000 bottles.

Intense and complex, this red offers a mix of lavender, black currant, plum, iron and wild herb aromas and flavors. Lively acidity keeps this focused, while firm, ripe tannins leave a pleasant grip on the lingering finish. Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2026 through 2040. 3,700 cases made, 1,000 cases imported.

Rich berries, herbs, dark olives, and roasted spices with some chocolate and cigars. Medium- to full-bodied on the palate but it remains crunchy and juicy with fresh tannins leading it to a juicy finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink now.
