Mazzei Philip 2020

It is a bold and structured Tuscan red with intense aromas of blackberry, black currant and plum layered with notes of spice, tobacco and dark chocolate. The palate is full-bodied and powerful, offering firm yet polished tannins, balanced acidity and deep flavors of dark fruit with hints of oak and earthy complexity. Its velvety texture leads to a long, persistent finish with richness and elegance.

Food Pairing: Pairs best with grilled steak, braised beef, game dishes and aged cheeses.

95 Points - James Suckling

This is aromatic with blueberries and black cherries, as well as hints of blue flowers, spices, dark chocolate and crushed stones. Full-bodied with layers of firm, fine-grained tannins and deep blue fruit. Structured and focused with a lingering finish that continues to build. Well crafted. Better after 2025.

94 Points - Wine Enthusiast

A layered nose leads with salt and pepper, then turns earthy, vegetal and woody, before finishing with black cherries and blackberries. On the synthesizing palate, a smudge of earth keeps the berries' freshness in check, before a swirling mocha finish ties everything up with a bow. Tannins and acid are harmonious throughout.

92 Points - Wine Spectator

A bright, elegant red, showing cherry and black currant flavors, with brisk acidity and dusty tannins. Packs ample fruit, with a touch of tobacco and wild herbs, despite the lean profile. Cabernet Sauvignon. Best from 2025 through 2039.
