Score 92/100 · Drink 2000-2010, Robert Parker, Feb 2000
The Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc vino da tavola from Monte Bernardi is called Tsingana. The 1997 Tsingana is undeniably sexy, revealing a dense purple color in addition to a gorgeous display of blackberries, plums, licorice, and toasty new oak. Sweet (because of high glycerin and alcohol), with low acidity, and layers of concentrated fruit, this terrific proprietary red should drink well for a decade. A Marc de Grazia Selection, imported by Michael Skurnik, Syosset, NY; tel. (516) 677-9300
