If you don’t know about Caprili yet, you’re not too late… but you’re close. These guys have taken the phrase, “on a roll” to a whole new level.
Luckily for us, I discovered Caprili just before the wine press began fawning over the Bartolommei family wines. That was important because anybody coming to feast on their wines now for the first time are turned away.
There’s a line, pal. Get in the back!
Formerly a criminally underrated winery, the under-the-radar producer in the southwestern hills of Montalcino finally caught on in the international scene once they starting submitting wines. I don’t know if it was by choice or a coincidence but they started submitting in the 2016 vintage. Yes, that 2016 vintage in Montalcino. It was a 94-96 point hit parade from the top critics. Okay, game on.
But, I’d argue last year’s 2017 Brunello is the one that really showed just what these guys can do. In a vintage where A LOT of wineries in Montalcino struggled to get their phenolics and sugar levels right, Caprili hit theirs out of the park, earning a 94-point from the Wine Advocate that marked one of the highest rated wines in the entire vintage. All that for guys that seemingly came from nowhere.

Winemaker Pascal Sirat consistently puts out some of the best value Bordeaux in the region but he may have outdone himself in what was a stellar 2019 vintage throughout the region. Just south of Pomerol, the vines at Panchille borrow deep in the soil. The resulting wines are ripe but fresh, with an aromatic complexity and stony finish usually reserved for wine twice the price. Daniel Boulud tells me it’s been the hottest bottle of wine at Bar Boulud for over a month, so I figured I’d better hurry up and secure my allocation! Don’t miss it.
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!

“The 2021 Malbec Reserva, from Vistalba, Lujan de Cuyo, was 60% aged in barrels for 12 months. Purple in color. The nose presents notes of fresh plum and violets, white pepper, strawberry, hints of spice and aromas from the aging process. It’s initially indulgent in the mouth, with good fat, and volume and a velvety texture. The flavors are bold and full-bodied. This 2021 overdelivers at the price.” -Vinous
91 Points, Wine Enthusiast
Always the one with the most personality of the bunch, this is what Wine Enthusiast had to say about the 2021 release: “This extremely ripe and bold style of Pinot Noir will please those seeking such lushness. Dark in the glass, it begins with black cherry, toasty caramel and cola milk shake aromas.” The cool, coastal days and abundance of sunshine lines up perfectly for a wine that has a good natural acidic backbone, with bold fruit-forward flavors. In an easy 2021 vintage, Joe Wagner had a field day with this single-vineyard beauty.
