The 2008 just arrived in our store, and we
decided to do a taste test. I opened a bottle, poured and sipped, and found it thinner than I had remembered the 07 being.

Much to my chagrin I noticed that I had grabbed a bottle of ‘07 by mistake. I repeated the process with the ‘08 and was very pleasantly surprised to find it to be more full bodied and lush than the ‘07.

Will do more tests at home, but so far, I am liking the new vintage even more than the last one.

Thrilled to hear you like it! Always nice to hear when others agree. Thanks for sharing.

Jason, this wine really rocks! It’s got all the classic notes that I look for in an Italian wine. I agree with all your tasting notes. I especially like the tannins throughout.

@Kevin Glad you enjoyed this one. I saw a whole new end cap display in a local TJ’s (Larkspur) this weekend. Whenever a bottling disappears and comes back to the shelves I always worry that another batch (inferior in quality) was made to fulfill the larger than expected demand. I grabbed one bottle to see if that is the case but have yet to try. Hope not! Your initial indication certainly bodes well.

Thanks for the tip on this bad boy. They had plenty at the Sunnyvale TJs and it was quite clear why this could be the #1 on your top 10 upon first sip. Great stuff, keep ‘em coming!

@Danny Sorry I led you astray on this one…As you mention we may have different palates when it comes to Italy. Hopefully I can make up for it soon!

@Karen So glad you liked it! Thanks for the kind words and hope you were able to track down some more…

@MikeyB Thanks for the comment. Any left at your store?

@Brad Thanks for the compliment! Hope you were able to find some more

@Simon Glad I could help you find something you enjoyed! Hope you were able to stock up…

@Zach Interesting! I know on trips to the midwest I have seen $1 increases in price but never have seen and/or heard about a $3 increase. If you don’t mind me asking where are you located?

This a good wine but many others seem to be paying in the $5-6 range. At that range it is a steal. My local Trader Joes has this for $8.99 and for that price there is better wines. Why so expensive at my location?

Today was the first time I have visited your blog, Jason, and I’m glad I did. I live five minutes from the Westfield, NJ Trader Joe’s and decided to take a look at some of your recommendations. I was stunned by the first one I’ve opened, the 2007 Tentatre Rosso, which definitely has the bod and the depth to be priced in the $15-20 range minimum. At $6 a bottle, this is a ridiculously good buy and I will be returning for a case in the next few days. You cannot afford not to try this….and it’s worth more than twice the cost of Charles Shaw Cab too.

Jason, I’m new to your blog, but really enjoy reading your reviews. I bought this “33″ a couple months back and absolutely LOVE the wine. I’m down to my last bottle and am opening it tonight with some homemade baked Ziti that my lovely wife is making. Can’t wait to enjoy the Pasta and Wine together! I’ll be headed out tomorrow to buy a case of “33″ if I can find it.
