Robert Parker, Jr.-The Wine Advocate:  Rated as An outstanding wine of exceptional complexity and character. "The 2006 Proprietary Red La Storia Cuvee 32 is a blend of 49% Sangiovese, 25% Merlot, 16% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Petite Sirah, and 4% Montepulciano. Spicy, earthy aromas of new saddle leather, berry fruit, pepper, and forest floor are followed by a fleshy, round, seductive, complex, delicious red that should drink nicely for another 3-4 years.  An excellent source for value-priced wines, Trentadue continues to turn out big, gutsy, exuberant offerings filled with flavor as well as personality."

Winery: " "The History" of Italian style winemaking for the Trentadue family goes back several generations.  In keeping with this tradition we offer Cuvée 32, a rich and complex blend aged for extended 20 months in 40% new French oak barrels.  Although enjoyable young, the great depth of fruit and firm, ripe tannins of this wine will make it worthy of cellaring."

Wired For Wine:  "Fleshy, round, seductive and complex"; is it a bottle of wine or a Botero painting?  The great news about this big, gutsy work of art is that you get to drink it...  Dive into the earthy, spicy side of this Trentadue La Storia Cuvée 32 Proprietary Red with smoked duck toasts with gingered rhubarb.  Bring out the gorgeous berry fruit in this California red with lamb kebabs with dried apricots and onions; they will also beckon the chewy tannins...  And if easy is on the menu, fire up the grill for some cheeseburgers with spiced ketchup and red vinegar pickles.  After everyone has had a moment, we say finish them off with a well-aged gouda.  It will be perfect for the big flavor, density and personality of this Trentadue Cuvée.  Truly priceless...
