The 2006 Tam offers up black fruit, grilled herbs, earthiness, and smoke in a medium-bodied style. The wine reveals good intensity, but the tannins are somewhat hard and penalizing, especially on the finish. Tam is 65 % Cabernet Sauvignon and 35% Cabernet Franc that spent 24 months in French oak. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2016. Batzella is one of the emerging properties on the Tuscan coast. The range this year isn’t as completely convincing as it was last year, but these two 2006s are successful. Importer: Premium Brands, Forest Hills, NY; tel.
