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.

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.
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.
#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.
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.
