2008 Marquee Mendoza Staccato ($8.99)
Made organically, Staccato is one of the whimsically named wines Marquee is bringing in from Argentina's Mendoza district at great prices.
A blend of 60 percent malbec and 40 percent cabernet sauvignon, it exhibits aromas and flavors of bramble berries, with a moderately tannic finish. It's blessed with good balance -- it won't overpower or deaden the taste buds.
It is carried by Andersons Sawmill, Carfagna's, Giant Eagle Sawmill, Grapes of Mirth, Tutto Vino, Twisted Vine, Vino 100 Short North, Weiland's and Whole Foods.
