2007 Monte Antico Toscano ($9.99)
From: Pisa, Italy
Grapes: 85% Sangiovese, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Merlot
Color: fairly dark with garnet edges.
On the nose: Dark fruit, and leather.
On the palate: Medium weight with sour cherries and vanilla on the finish. There are some soft tannins and an overall sense of juiciness.

Comments: This is much more ready to drink than the 06 was. I am a big Sangiovese fan and that is the primary taste here with some of the leather and dark fruit you often get from Bordeaux reds, but also with Sangiovese or Cabernet based wines. This will go very well with any steak, charcuterie, Italian meat sauce, or cheese tray.
My rating 6
