The 2006 Vigorello, 45% Sangiovese, 40 % Cabernet Sauvigon and 15% Merlot, is another beautiful wine from San Felice. This shows gorgeous depth in its dark fruit, smoke and leather. The intensity of the fruit tapers off just a bit on the finish, exposing the tannins. Minerals, earthiness and herbs come to life in the round, seductive finish. (AG)

(contains sangiovese, cabernet sauvignon and merlot; 14% alcohol) Inky, glass-staining ruby. Black plum, dark chocolate syrup, and incense on the nose, with a hint of coffee reduction. Then fresher on the palate, with fresh black plum and blueberry flavors complicated by hints of underbrush and minerals. Finishes long and smooth, with a pronounced fresh plum element. First produced in 1968, Vigorello is the original Super-Tuscan, the wine that started the wave of new wines from Tuscany that blended international varieties with the local sangiovese. This 2006 is a very successful version, one of the best in recent memory. (ID)
