With the wine world turned upside down, 48 bottles of this historic wine became available to us again. They won’t be around for long…
There can be a lot of hyperbole used in internet wine sales but you won’t hear any today– not from us at least ;). This offer is a simple one: every year we offer Castello di Volpaia’s Chianti Classico Riserva from one of the leading estates in Tuscany, at one of the best prices in the country. This year, Wine Spectator gave them the highest rating a Chianti Classico has ever received. #1. Move over, 1990 Castello di Ama Chianti Classico Bellavista!
97 points for a $40 wine? That just doesn’t happen– until today.
The 2016 Volpaia Chianti Classico Riserva 2016 is big and juicy, with layers of dark fruits, bramble and a long finish. It’s the perfect wine for a grilled steak eaten al fresco on any late summer evening. However, it’s a very limited lot of wine– the highest-rated Chianti Classico for such an affordable price doesn’t last long. You do not want to miss this!

97 Points Wine Spectator
“Enticing aromas of black cherry, black currant and violet are allied to flavors of iron, wet earth and spice. This is loaded with fruit, vibrant acidity and well-mannered tannins. Shows terrific harmony now, yet possesses the structure to age. The long, mouthwatering finish extends the dark fruit and minerally elements. Best from 2021 through 2040.” – Bruce Sanderson
A knockout, home-run of a deal. Possibly the best deal of 2019.
Great with any piece of red meat, poultry or fall vegetables.
Winemaker Patrick Brunet’s tiny Domaine Robert estate consists of 50-60 year old vines, deeply rooted in the granitic soils of Fleurie. What I love about him is that every vintage brings something new but it consistently stays excellent. In the newly released 2020 vintage, Patrick produced a concentrated, structured Beaujolais that’s roaring out of the gates but with the bones to improve in the bottle over the next decade. This is a fantastic bottle to have around.
Obviously, I can’t tell you all the details of the vineyard source but I can let you in on a few of the details. Crafted using fruit from 1000-1500 ft in elevation, Chad’s 2019 is cool climate Pinot at its best– especially given the price tag. While similar wines (very similar wines) will fetch a $45 price tag, you can snag it today just less than half off that price on bottle one. There’s no surprise this is the #1 wine of the year in 2020.
From two New Jersey natives comes something special from Napa Valley. First the Faustini’s bought grapes from the historic Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard for their first test batch. Next they brought in Opus One & Clos du Val alum Kian Tavakoli to head up the winemaking. Throw in an outrageously good 2016 vintage in Napa and what you have is the recipe for a knockout wine that is starting to come into its own and will be great for the next 10-20 years!
98 Points, James Suckling #36 Top US Wine of the Year – 97 Points, Decanter
In 2015, the last of four consecutive drought years and one of Napa’s great vintages over the past few decades, it’sno surprise that one of Napa’s all-time great wineries turned in a flawless bottling from the legendary Martha’s Vineyard. Decanter absolutely gushed, giving it 97 points and declaring, “no Cabernet has the aromatic profile of Martha’s. They would even go so far to say, “There isn’t a more definitive Cabernet Sauvignon in the world, at any price.” James Suckling would go a step further in the points department giving the wine a 98, but if Wine Enthusiast had got their hands on it, this would be a 100-point wine yet again. Just 30 bottles of Napa winemaking history up for grabs today.
