The Folonari family has been in the region making wine since the late 1800s. For years, they stuck to indigenous varietals, but that changed in the 1990s when they became one of the very first in Bolgheri to purchase land specifically for the purpose of planting Bordeaux varietals. One of their pioneering innovations was identifying a very special terrain: a mixture of clay and sand was perfectly suited to Bordelaise varieties.
Their flagship bottling, Campo Al Mare Bolgheri, comes from this special plot and indeed produces beautiful, plump and fleshy Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Petit Verdot. This wine does an incredible job of mirroring a Right Bank Bordeaux. But its proximity to the sea breezes from the Tyrrhenian give this a little something extra, a delicious mouthwatering salinity.
The hardest working Italian wine critic in the world, James Suckling was the first to get his hands on this new vintage. He tasted what I did last week – a silky, elegant Super Tuscan that he deemed worthy of a 94-point score. That’s probably pretty similar to what I’d give it – meaning at today’s price point it’s a sensational SuperTuscan value.

A fragrant nose of dark berries, dried herbs, wafer, cedar and baking spices. Full body with fine tannins. Fleshy, with plenty of dark fruit on the mid-palate and a flavorful finish. Structured red. Drink from 2024 and onwards.

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.
With seemingly infinite access to some of the absolute very best vineyards in the most choice AVAs in the valley, the Wagner’s set out to make Quilt– a Cabernet blend from a patchwork of the top sites in Napa (Oakville, St Helena, Atlas Peak, Coombsville, Calistoga, and Howell Mountain.) The brand new 2021 edition is a beauty – deeply concentrated, rich and a truly show stopping Cabernet. It’s a dark, hedonistic blend that combines elegance with power and pairs the two together effortlessly.

“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.”
Anne Sery describes her Trousse Chemise Cabernets as an ode to the Left Bank and her winemaking roots. It’s a beautiful and fresh Cabernet with aromas that leap from the glass with of black raspberry, violets, and creme de liquor notes. The mouth gives generous amounts of juicy black fruits at the core with hints of baking spice and a smooth, savory finish. This is a terrific partner for just about anything from hard cheese, to poultry, summer salads, you name it!
