2009 Trentatre is a big departure, with only the earthy component in common with the 08. I get broccoli, red cabbage, carrot, dead leaves, soil, and raw mushroom. If I strain hard enough, there may be a hint of cherry or plum. The acidity is good, tannins minimal, and alcohol too obvious. I appreciated the educational and novelty value but would only consider buying again out of curiosity if it evolves in ~10 months.

[...] a Trader Joes fave, a dry Italian red blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Montepulciano called Tentatre Rosso for ~$7. Is your bear belly grumbling [...]

@PeterB and @Don Thanks for your take on the ’08. My ’07 stock is almost dry so I’ll be giving that one a try shortly. @PeterB did you more “tests”?

@Lucien Agree that it could last a few years but for me it is drinking well enough right now!

@AlSanders, @maria and @anna Thanks for the kind words on the blog! Al, amazing that it took down an $80 bottle of wine. Someone went home really disappointed!

@anne The Falesco Vitiano has Cab and Merlot along with Sangiovese and is usually easy to track down. Cost Plus/World Market usually carries it for around $8.

@FrancisM Glad I can help out!

@manskybook I always worry when Trader Joe’s wines roll from one year to the next as you never now what the next vintage will bring. Seems like the ’08 is not quite the wine the ’07 is per the comments above.

@Patrick Glad to hear you (and your friends!) enjoyed it. Hope they found the ’07 before it disappeared…

My wife purchased this wine recently on her motherlode shop at TJ’s and when we opened the 07, wow we were really surprised. Then we shared a bottle with some friends who travel to Italy for a month every year…they were REALLY pleased and very surprised with the price, said they wanted to buy a case for their cellar. Tj’s is quickly running out of the 07, so buy now.

Trentatre seems to be disappearing from TJs right about now, and I suspect the vintage is depleted. Great, full-bodied party wine with some complexity, but not a lot of subtlety. Excellent choice for the price.

Hi, I am very new to drinking wine and really appreciate your guidance, especially because I find TJ’s offerings intriguing but have zero basis to start with. Thanks!

Unfortunately, I don’t live near a TJ’s. Can you recommend something similar I could find at a local wine store?

Thanks so much,
Anne
