Bid on this 4-bottle lot of 2008 Montepeloso Gabbro (93RP, 91WS). Wine Advocate: "The 2008 Gabbro (Cabernet Sauvignon) is the only wine among these 2008s that isn’t up to its usual level. It is a classy, polished wine laced with dark fruit, grilled herbs and tobacco, but comes across as a touch diluted relative to other recent vintages. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2025." (08/2011)

One of the great Cabernet Sauvignons of Italy, Gabbro has done for this variety what Tua Rita's Redigaffi did for Merlot. A decade from now, we would not be surprised to see Gabbro replace Sassacaia as the ultimate Tuscan Cabernet. A scant 200 cases are imported.

Wine Spectator
“Brash with shiny oak, this red also sports ripe blackberry and cherry flavors. Impressive, offering balance and opulence, if just a touch over the top. Cabernet Sauvignon. Best from 2012 through 2020.” (09/2011)
