What can you say about all that Felsina has accomplished in Chianti? In the 17 published editions of Gambero Rosso, Felsina has won the coveted Tre Bicchieri award a crazy 17 times! They have always been a favorite of Robert Parker, Jr. and the Wine Advocate and now the wines have won over James Suckling and Antonio Galloni of Vinous as well. The consistent quality, and the range between the regular baseline Chianti Classico and the flagship, full-throtled Riserva Rancia. These wines represent some of the classiest expression of Sangiovese and Chianti and remain the standard in Tuscany.
Their 2018 Rancia Riserva is still an infant, but it promises to be something extremely special. It ranked as the 3rd highest Chianti Riserva of the 2018 vintage according to Vinous, outpointing and outshining some of the most sought after bottles that go for prices two and three times what today’s wine goes for. This is set to arrive in early November, and quantities are outrageously small. I have just 30 1.5 Liter magnums to go around. Don’t wait if you’re looking to cash in on something truly special. This is a collector’s dream!

The 2018 Chianti Classico Riserva Rancia is an absolutely stunning wine. The archetype of Rancia in the past has been of a big, potent Chianti Classico but in 2018, Rancia is a wine of mind-blowing elegance and finesse. Silky, perfumed and indescribably finessed, the 2018 dazzles from start to finish. It’s a magical wine in every way.

This is a really exciting new release in the collection of single-vineyards from the Wagner Family, and arguably the most interesting one of the bunch. This is the only Pinot Noir in the Caymus collection that has the advantage of being from a natural Pinot Noir haven in the Russian River Valley. Dairyman Vineyard’s proximity to the pacific ocean, with its morning fog and afternoon coastal breezes allows for an even and elongated growing season, with super concentrated and expressive grape clusters that help make this Dijon clone Pinot Noir one that you need.
This is a sensational single-vineyard Merlot made from incredibly tiny clusters, full of some of the most elegant, intensely structured fruit from high atop Sonoma Mountain. Beautiful weight and balance with aromas of blueberries, black currants, sage and a hint of cocoa. It’s got a full, plush mouthfeel, pristine and vibrant fruit and a wonderful smooth finish. Thanks to Chad’s big bet on himself, he was able to make a knockout Sonoma Mountain beauty, without the need for any middleman, helping us to enjoy one of his best creations at an outstanding price.
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.

“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.”
