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.

The secret to Philippe’s tightly wound, complex Pinot Noir is a combo of ancient vines, natural farming techniques, and low yields. The wines are built to age, with incredible tension and length. And the secret to me securing his other-wordly 2017 old-vine Gevry-Chambertin can be chalked up to a great relationship and over a decade supporting superior Burgundian winemaking. The wine is scary good. The nose is wild, filled with spiced dark raspberries, red flowers, and baking spices. The palate is elegant and racy, with a dynamic tension that runs right through its minute-long finish. This is a high-toned, wound-up Pinot, that is starting to hit its prime and is really turning out to be a ‘must-have’ for true Burgundy lovers.
#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.
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!
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.
