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.

94 Points, James Suckling
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.

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.
#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.
90 Points, James Suckling
Damien has crafted a delicious Médoc, full of character with dense black currant and cherry fruit, cedar, tobacco and wonderful complexity. It’s silky complexion is what pushes it over the edge (and, of course, the price!) It doesn’t hurt that it comes from a 95-point Left Bank vintage that the Wine Advocate declared, “outstanding.”
90 Points, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
Xavier Vignon’s brand spanking new CDR 100% is a thing of beauty. It’s already got a blessing from Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate who described this wine as, “Full-bodied, concentrated and supple”. This is a gorgeous and intricate blend that features all of the Southern Rhone appellations. This year, the blend was 40% Grenache, 25% Mourvedre, 15% Syrah, 7% Cinsault, 7% Marselan, 6% Terret Noir. Nobody can do it like the mad scientist, Xavier Vignon.
