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.

“This supple red shows a core of cherry and plum fruit allied to olive, juniper and tobacco notes. Delivers well-integrated tannins and acidic structure, lingering nicely on the finish.”
It’s no surprise the Wine Advocate has called the Ventoux a “screaming bargain.” Carved off the left bank of the Rhone River, the 2020 Delas Ventoux is a gorgeous medium-bodied wine with wonderful crushed red fruits, a silky mouthfeel, tremendous structure and that signature Rhone spice on the finish. I haven’t had this wine available for a few vintages, but I figure it’s the perfect springtime Red to bring back in the fold!
Winemaker Pascal Sirat consistently puts out some of the best value Bordeaux in the region but he may have outdone himself in what was a stellar 2019 vintage throughout the region. Just south of Pomerol, the vines at Panchille borrow deep in the soil. The resulting wines are ripe but fresh, with an aromatic complexity and stony finish usually reserved for wine twice the price. Daniel Boulud tells me it’s been the hottest bottle of wine at Bar Boulud for over a month, so I figured I’d better hurry up and secure my allocation! Don’t miss it.
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.
