92-point under-$15 Toscana IGT which very well be the best 2018 Sangiovese discount in Brunello di Montalcino.
Col D’Orcia literally means the hill overlooking the Orcia River. They are a beauty boutique winery in the South West of Brunello di Montalcino that make some of the most beautiful blends with Sangiovese as the main component.
This Toscana IGT is a Sangiovese heavy red blend with some distinct local varietals that wows you as soon as you pop the cork. Wine laws from centuries back prohibit this from being a true Brunello di Montalcino, but we’re not complaining. We have a feeling that under-$15 price tag would be a lot different if that were the case. This is a beautiful, smooth Italian blend at a silly price. A pizza wine has never looked so good.

Aromas and flavors of black cherries and berries, as well as walnuts and spices. Medium body. Fine, racy finish. I appreciate its tannin and acidity tension. Drink or hold.

The new release is here from outstanding winemaking team of Michel Rolland, Charles Thomas, Andy Erickson and David Jelenik. This one always represents one of the best quality-to-price ratios in all of Napa Cab and in the stellar 2021 vintage, this really stands out as one of the best the Valley has to offer. It’s a racy mix of Coombsville fruit from Atlas Peak that absolutely roars out of the bottle. Always one of Napa’s great bargains and a must have even as the price starts to sneak up here a little bit.

Damien has crafted a delicious Médoc, full of character with dense black currant and cherry fruit, cedar, tobacco and wonderful complexity. It’s silky complexion is what pushes it over the edge (and, of course, the price!) It doesn’t hurt that it comes from a 95-point Left Bank vintage that the Wine Advocate declared, “outstanding.”
In the 2020 vintage in Gevrey-Chambertin, yields were super low and temperatures were hotter than most Burgundian winemakers are accustomed. Many picked too late when the sugars were high and the fruit really ripe, but that was not the play. Still, Ann remained as cool in those hot temps as she did so many years ago in Napa, concentrating more on acid levels than sugars and picking at just the right time. This wine is absolutely singing – it’s an age-worthy beauty that should be even better in 4-7 years.
This is a sensational single-vineyard Merlot made from incredibly tiny clusters, full of some of the most elegant, intensely structured fruit from high atop Sonoma Mountain. Beautiful weight and balance with aromas of blueberries, black currants, sage and a hint of cocoa. It’s got a full, plush mouthfeel, pristine and vibrant fruit and a wonderful smooth finish. Thanks to Chad’s big bet on himself, he was able to make a knockout Sonoma Mountain beauty, without the need for any middleman, helping us to enjoy one of his best creations at an outstanding price.
