It’s fitting that one of Sicily’s leading producers and one of the ones most responsible for their current place on the international stage has now made an age-worthy Red wine that can compete with any cellar worthy Red from anywhere in the world. James Suckling said it belonged in the “highest league of Italian and global wines” and that’s not hyperbole. This wine really is that good.
Benanti’s Serra Della Contessa Particella No. 587 Alberello Centenario (officially) is made from vines as old as the name is long. Over 100 year old pre-phylloxera vines are responsible for carving out this Italian Red Wine masterpiece that I think has the bones and structure to last 40-50 years. You can tell there’s so much nuance and depth that’s just tucked away in this one– like a sleeping monster just begging to be awakened.
As you can probably imagine, a bottling such as this is extremely rare– perhaps the greatest Sicilian bottling to date and in the magical 2015 — a wine that is equally as memorable as the best Brunellos and Barolos from the vintage. Only 15 six-packs even made their way to the East Coast, and I can say that five of those six-packs are earmarked for Nicholas Wines. That means just 30 bottles to go round. Don’t miss this gorgeous Italian collector.

“A new dimension in Etna red that belongs in the highest league of Italian and global wines. Enveloping floral, candied-orange and red-berry nose, but that’s only the beginning of it. Extremely concentrated and seamless palate that’s totally focused through the finish, which stretches out effortlessly towards infinity. The grapes come from over 100-year-old, pre-phylloxera nerello mascalese (85%) and nerello cappuccio (15%) vines. It spent 24
months in French oak, but that’s completely invisible. Limited quantity.”

#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.

“The 2021 Malbec Reserva, from Vistalba, Lujan de Cuyo, was 60% aged in barrels for 12 months. Purple in color. The nose presents notes of fresh plum and violets, white pepper, strawberry, hints of spice and aromas from the aging process. It’s initially indulgent in the mouth, with good fat, and volume and a velvety texture. The flavors are bold and full-bodied. This 2021 overdelivers at the price.” -Vinous
This is Joe Wagner and Quilt’s inaugural Red blend called Threadcount. It is a total knockout at the price point for this style of wine. It’s a big voluptuous wine and very fruit forward. The nose is straight up dark chocolate dipped raspberries and it tastes of fresh-baked blueberry pie, spice, and a touch of toffee. It’s the kind of quality blend that you’ve come to expect from the family behind Caymus.
The 50 hectare estate of Maurice Robert is the jewel of this beautiful growing region, located east of Bordeaux. Robert is first and foremost a viticulturist, tending his vines like gardens. The Bordeaux Rouge 2016, a barrel-fermented, vibrant blend Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot with juicy cassis fruit and just the right touch of savory spice. It is a perfect choice for roasted poultry, grilled burgers or steaks or any Alpine cheese.
