Here the cooperative Borsao has been making insanely good wine for the price since the late 1980s when Spanish wine pioneer Jorge Ordonez started yielding his influence in the area and getting the wines select placements in the Boston Metro.
The international rise since has been meteoric while the prices have remained relatively pedestrian. However today’s Borsao Zarihs Syrah 2016 ups the quality level beyond anything I’ve tasted from them in the last 30 years.
The vineyards are ideally situated for perfect Syrah. Sitting between 350 and 600 meters of elevation (just a stone’s throw higher than Cote Rotie), the steep vineyards are inundated with sunshine. But, the Cierzo – a persistent cooling wind from the Northwest – keeps the the vines nice and cool allowing for extended hangtimes and super steady temps.
The secret though is in the soil. Like many of the top Syrahs in the world – limestone imparts acidity and cut into a wine that might otherwise be overwhelming. The result is one you just have to taste.

This red marries the ripe fruit and toasty oak of the international style with a savory, rustic character. A thick, polished texture, supported by well-integrated tannins and balsamic acidity, carries dark plum, black pepper, soy sauce and loamy earth flavors that are seamless and long. Drink now through 2032.
It’s always nice to be in good standing with one of the most beloved wine brands in America! Our special relationship with the Wagner has granted us incredible access on their newest release! These won’t last long! This is an opulent, powerful dark-fruited Cabernet with tightly woven tannins, that is just raring and ready to go. Textbook, full-bodied, revved up and ready to go, this new Caymus Napa Valley Cabernet is the definition of a crowd pleaser.

“Finely textured, with a nuanced perfume that fills the glass and takes you to the intense underbrush of Tuscany. Succulent and yet savory, this has a lilting freshness that is overlaid with ripe berry fruits, sage and white pepper spice, and clear minerality in terms of its scraping texture that makes your mouth water on the finish. Feels light and sculpted and yet has an intensity that skewers you to the spot. This is a great wine, with scope and imagination that doesn’t want to let you go. Genuinely stands out among the wines of this tasting, and these are a fine array of wines. As with Colore, Bibi Graetz selects only old vines, the youngest 50 years old from five different vineyard sites across Tuscany, all farmed organically.”
This is a very, very special library offer from our friends at Val di Suga and is also a very limited one. There are only a few of these amazing six-pack collector’s boxes for sale. Two bottles each from Val di Suga’s three single vineyard sites. Val di Suga is the only Brunello producer that controls three separate estate vineyards located in three specific climate zones in the appellation. Each vineyard site has its own unique exposure and geo-climatic features which expresses itself in every bottle. Not to be missed. *Original wooden boxes come included.*

San Giorgio Ugolforte is the sister winery of Poggio di Sotto. Their 2017 presents a dark core of red and black berry fruit layered with earth, leather, smoke, and herbs. It’s a complex and elegant expression, that presents a full mouthfeel that is firm in tannin structure. The refreshing acidity frames a graceful finish. Just a classic Brunello di Montalcino.
