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 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.

“Vignon’s 2019 Chateauneuf du Pape delivers even more than I hoped for based on a previous sample. Hints of garrigue, roses, cherries and raspberries appear on the nose, while the palate is full-bodied, silky and long, with an intense, almost briny finish. The assemblage is 50% Grenache, 10% each Mourvèdre and Syrah, plus smaller proportions of seven other permitted varieties, while the élevage includes foudres, demi-muids, concrete and wooden tanks, plus terracotta amphorae.”
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.
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.
