Antinori Sangiovese Merlot

[Drew]

Welcome, mcd. You've got the right bottle and are smart to figure out that the restaurant is gauging you. They're selling you a glass for less than what they pay per bottle. The below was Wine Spectator's take on the wine.

Antinori Sangiovese-Merlot Toscana Santa Cristina
Current annual production: 350,000 cases
Current vintage; score; price: 2001; 83; $11

Fresh and fruity, this wine is made from grapes from the company's substantial holdings in Tuscany and selected wines bought from producers in the region, including several good local cooperatives. It's a blend of 90 percent Sangiovese and 10 percent Merlot.
