Il Poggione in Montalcino is a historic producer that has churned out some of the best Sangiovese in the region for decades. In fact, as one of the original three producers of Brunello di Montalcino, they set the standard for increased quality.
They make nothing but fabulous wines. In fact, they made one of the best Brunellos I’ve tasted in the last twenty years, their 2016 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Vigna Paganelli.
The estate is sprawling, 1,500 acres, though only 350 are planted to vines with the rest olive groves, sowable land and woodlands used for raising cattle and pigs. Apart from being one of the oldest vineyards in Montalcino, the majority of the vines are also planted above 1,300 ft. above sea level – which when paired with their proximity to the sea, provides the estate with a picture perfect climate for growing slowly maturing, perfectly ripe Sangiovese.

Lots of mahogany, bark and cocoa powder on the nose. Some mushrooms and dried cherries, too. Medium-bodied with slightly grainy tannins. The wood is a little obvious, but pleasant nonetheless. Drink now.

“Vignon’s 2019 Chateauneuf du Pape delivers even more than I hoped for based on a previous sample. Hints of garrigue, roses, cherries and raspberries appear on the nose, while the palate is full-bodied, silky and long, with an intense, almost briny finish. The assemblage is 50% Grenache, 10% each Mourvèdre and Syrah, plus smaller proportions of seven other permitted varieties, while the élevage includes foudres, demi-muids, concrete and wooden tanks, plus terracotta amphorae.”
The 2021 Napa Valley East side Cuvee is an instant classic. From the first whiff to the moment it hits the lips, its clear that this is a fabulously concentrated, serious wine: black in color, and featuring aromas of cassis, cedar and chocolate-tinged purple fruit. The mouthfeel is plush and voluptuous with a firm, solid finish that speaks to its potential for considerable aging.
#3 Wine Spectator Top 100 Wines of 2021
96 Points, Parker’s Wine Advocate – 95 Points, Wine Spectator
We are one of the very few folks who have Wine Spectator’s #3 Wine of the Year. This is definitely not one to miss. The 2016 vintage showcases this prized vineyard in all its glory; notes of wild black fruit, thyme, mint, eucalyptus, and bay are lifted and enjoyed with the polished tannin and mouthwatering freshness of this wine. Regarded as one of the best vintages in the last few decades, the 2016 Martha’s Vineyard has been aged to perfection for immediate enjoyment at release and will continue to reward for the next 20+ years.
Anne Sery describes her Trousse Chemise Cabernets as an ode to the Left Bank and her winemaking roots. It’s a beautiful and fresh Cabernet with aromas that leap from the glass with of black raspberry, violets, and creme de liquor notes. The mouth gives generous amounts of juicy black fruits at the core with hints of baking spice and a smooth, savory finish. This is a terrific partner for just about anything from hard cheese, to poultry, summer salads, you name it!
