The Merlot-based 2013 Bolgheri Rosso is a gorgeous entry-level red. Round, pliant and generous on the palate, the 2013 offers lovely density and juiciness. Dark cherry, raspberries, flowers, mint and sweet spices meld into the voluptuous finish. The Rosso is aged in a combination of oak and cement. Given its budget-friendly price, Le Macchiole's Bolgheri Rosso is one of the finest Bolgheri wines in its price range.

Paleo is a pure expression of Cabernet Franc first made in 2001. The 2013 Paleo shows a soft and feminine side with rose petal, lavender, wet earth, rosemary and dark fruit. These are beautiful but unexpected qualities. The wine is ever so reflective of the grape variety, but it also does a great job of incorporating Tuscan ideals, with sunshine, grace and generosity among them. As you dig deeper, Paleo reveals more surprising layers. The finish is soft and slightly sweet. Paleo reveals something new each time you go back to the glass to take a new sip. This wine promises a long aging future.
