Located just below the village of Montalcino, Casanuova delle Cerbaie sits on 15 hectares. Most of the property is planted to vineyards but in classic Tuscan fashion, there are hectares of olive trees and forests too. The winery was founded in the late 1970’s but its current identity is much more modern. It was purchased by an American entrepreneur in 2008 who also happened to be a passionate wine lover and admirer of classic Brunello. With his vision and a strong local team in place, the wines are made in a very traditional style.
The 2010 is a masterpiece, with powerful fruit and structure. Casanuova delle Cerbaie has been delicious ever since its first release. However, even though we’re in 2019, this wine is still remarkably young, barely scratching the surface of what it will be. The fruit is dark and powerful with incredible length. It marries aromatic finesse and a supple mouthfeel with terrific persistence and length, characteristics generally reserved for the best wines in the world. Not an easy trick to turn but Brigidi’s ‘10 has both characteristics in spades.

“Beautiful sweet plum and berry aromas and flavors. Full-bodied, extremely soft textured and succulent. Very long and flavorful. A very balanced and pretty example of the excellent 2010 Brunello. Drink or hold.”

Drink with roasts of meat, perfect with leg of lamb.
In the 2020 vintage in Gevrey-Chambertin, yields were super low and temperatures were hotter than most Burgundian winemakers are accustomed. Many picked too late when the sugars were high and the fruit really ripe, but that was not the play. Still, Ann remained as cool in those hot temps as she did so many years ago in Napa, concentrating more on acid levels than sugars and picking at just the right time. This wine is absolutely singing – it’s an age-worthy beauty that should be even better in 4-7 years.

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.

“This supple red shows a core of cherry and plum fruit allied to olive, juniper and tobacco notes. Delivers well-integrated tannins and acidic structure, lingering nicely on the finish.”
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!
