The answer was obvious – the increasingly delicious Rosso di Montalcinos and from one of the best value producers in the entire region – Caparzo. Rosso di Montalcinos, which used to be a way to get rid of unwanted grapes from their Brunello, are increasingly part of marketing and cashflow equation.
Modern Rossos allow cash to come in much quicker since the aging requirements are substantially shorter. Even more importantly, they are now an early beacon of anticipated quality that consumers can expect from the big boy Brunello Riservas the wineries will release three years later.
These Rossos are now viewed as market makers and wineries are putting a lot of effort into making them great and memorable. When Vinous was covering the 2019 vintage, they summed up the revolution nicely.
“The Rosso di Montalcino category has never been better than it is today. Top-notch Rosso di Montalcino delivers a highly enjoyable expression of Sangiovese with Montalcino pedigree that communicates house style and terroir associated with it. Rosso di Montalcino, with its zesty fruit and high acidity, will pair with nearly any meal imaginable.”
Caparzo’s 2019 Rosso di Montalcino displays ripe fresh strawberries and cherries on the nose. A bit of pepper and spice reveal themselves on the palate, sitting atop layers of cherries. It’s bright and zesty and Vinous isn’t kidding when they say it will pair nicely with pretty much anything.

The 2021 Napa Valley East side Cuvee is an instant classic. From the first whiff to the moment it hits the lips, its clear that this is a fabulously concentrated, serious wine: black in color, and featuring aromas of cassis, cedar and chocolate-tinged purple fruit. The mouthfeel is plush and voluptuous with a firm, solid finish that speaks to its potential for considerable aging.
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.

The new release is here from outstanding winemaking team of Michel Rolland, Charles Thomas, Andy Erickson and David Jelenik. This one always represents one of the best quality-to-price ratios in all of Napa Cab and in the stellar 2021 vintage, this really stands out as one of the best the Valley has to offer. It’s a racy mix of Coombsville fruit from Atlas Peak that absolutely roars out of the bottle. Always one of Napa’s great bargains and a must have even as the price starts to sneak up here a little bit.
