Mazzei Philip Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

Some of the greatest Cabernet or Cabernet based red wine made today are coming out of Tuscany. The great Super Tuscans Sassicia, Ornellaia and Solaia are all Cabernet based and are icons of the wine world rivaling the absolute best from Bordeaux or Napa. Now based on that when did you last see a Cabernet from Napa that got 94pts by Parker and 96pts by Suckling and was under thirty-five dollars a bottle. I must tell you I can’t remember. Which brings me to today’s wine. I would put it against a Napa Cab at $80 a bottle anytime. The wine is the 2021 Mazzei Philip Cabernet that normally sells for $59.99 per bottle. We have for $34.99! 2021 is an all-time great vintage from Tuscany. The quality is off the charts, and at this price point and the 94 rating from Parker , represents one of the most incredible Cabernet buys thus far this year!

The Wine Spectator comments, “Tuscany’s recently released 2021 vintage could be this celebrated region’s best year yet.” Decanter calls 2021 Tuscany “A milestone vintage”.  The vintage got 98pts by Spectator.

Mazzei is one of the most famous wine families in Italy making some of the desired wines in the world. This wine is named after Philip Mazzei who was a friend of our founding fathers: Franklin, Adams, Washington, and Jefferson. Philip inspired Jefferson with the idea that “All men are by nature equally free and independent. Such equality is necessary in order to create a free government”. John F. Kennedy himself acknowledges that “The great doctrine ‘All men are created equal’, incorporated in the Declaration of Independence by Thomas Jefferson, was paraphrased from the writings of Filippo Mazzei, an Italian patriot and dear friend of Jefferson”.

The great Carlo Ferrini consults, possibly Tuscans greatest winemaker, also makes Oreno, Casanova di Neri,  Petrolo, La Massa, Brancaia and Brolio. This is hard-core, real deal Cabernet at a spectacular price for the quality.
