100% organic in practice since 2000 and certified in 2016, I like the “Go Big or Go Home” style of friend and winemaker, Alessandro Castellani. He uses zero chemical products anywhere on the farm or in the cellar, raises and breeds native Brogna sheep that keep the vines clear of weeds and provide “magical” natural fertilizer and plants a cover crop that is then tilled under to provide nitrogen and carbon to the soil. It’s 20 times the amount of work as conventional farming, it’s amazing it is not 20x the conventional price….
I also like the “go big or go home” style of the 2016 Valpolicella Ripasso Classico Superiore Malavoglia. This “baby Amarone” has a deep, crimson-red color and absolutely blasts from the glass at the first pour. The nose is wild, with earth-tinged dried cherry, fig, dark chocolate and cedar leading to a packed core of juicy fruit flavors. The finish is long and fresh, speaking to the limestone-affected soil Alessandro’s old vines are rooted in.

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!
It’s always nice to be in good standing with one of the most beloved wine brands in America! 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.
At J Vineyards, Nicole is nothing short of a magician, making 30 different skus or more each vintage between her Pinots, Chardonnays, and Sparkling wines. For the vineyard’s flagship Russian River Valley Pinot Noir, up to 100 individual small lots are combined to make this great wine. Somehow, the blend is effortless–a quintessential RRV Pinot that has those soaring aromatics, bright red fruits, clove, and nutmeg spice with perfect balance.
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.
