Monte Antico Rosso Toscana 2006
With 85% Sangiovese, 10% Merlot, and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon, this Red from Tuscany is an awesome deal for $11.50. Wine Spectator put it in their top 100 wines in 2009 and I can see why. Aromas of raisin with the light flavor of currant and a little lime, this gem is a great deal and was solid from the first taste to the last. It was a little spicy, but when it opened up, the true chianti character came out and we really enjoyed it. Grab it if you can find it.
