The 2006 Burdese (Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc) is a fragrant offering with pretty, up-front floral red fruits, but not as much varietal character as I had hoped. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2011. This is one of the better sets of wines I can remember tasting from Planeta. The estate seems to have dialed back the use of oak, and at their finest, the wines offer lovely balance. Importer: Palm Bay International, Boca Raton, FL; tel. (561) 362-9642

Spice, chocolate, blackberry and dark fruit come across with determination and intensity. Burdese is a modern, Bordeaux-inspired blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc with bright fruit flavors, fresh acidity, natural succulence and warm spice flavors on the close.——M.L.(2/1/2009)—— 92
