This great vintage shines in Tuscany’s Bolgheri region and Angelo Gaja’s Ca’ Marcanda, a Super Tuscan blend of cabernet sauvignon and merlot, is part of the parade of seriously good wines from the vintage. Ca’ Marcanda is richly layered with dark fruits — blackberry, black currant, cassis — that exhibit exceptional purity. Beautifully structured, this vintage drinks well now but is built for the long haul.
