You know my rule by now. If you want to find good value, you have to get off the beaten track. But rules are meant to be broken and today we find value right in the heart of Barolo.
Our Barolos are always blue chip – some of the best wines made anywhere in the world. Whether it was our 99pt Elvio Cogno offer, our Ellio Grasso single-vineyard offerings or our recent offer of Massolino Barolo Serralunga just before it found its way into Wine Spectator’s Top 10 wines of the Year.
But these dazzling wines also command Saturday night prices (as they should) and they really benefit from a double digit slumber in your cellar. But if you want something you can drink now and get a taste of all the intensity that true Barolo has to offer at as close to a Tuesday night price as Barolo can get, check out today’s 2016 Franco Amoroso Barolo.

93 Points, James Suckling
This has aromas of rose petals, dried cherries and dark chocolate. It’s full-bodied, yet elegant and polished with firm yet sleek tannins. Rustic on the finish. Give this a few years. Drink from 2023.
Fresh off its feature as one of Wine Spectator’s ‘Exciting California Values Under $25’, winemaker Matt Cline looks to stay hot with his release of the 2019 Contra Costa Zinfandel. This one is a beauty crafted off old-vines that are now between 110-140 years in age. There’s a ton of darker fruits that drive this one with a dusting of baking spice. The fruit is pure, fresh and long making it both delicious on its own or terrific with a burger, BBQ ribs, or grilled leg of lamb. Crazy cheap for what is in the bottle, load up!
95 Points, Decanter
On the nose, herbs and lavender dominate, as notes of meat stew swish in the background. As it continues to open up, various black fruits continue to emerge. The palate is marked by bright acids (perfect for fatty cuisine), black cherry and touch of leather. This is a perfect candidate for the cellar and will be a stellar pull over the next decade.
97 Points (Best in Show), 2022 Decanter Wine Awards
Once again, last month Decanter held the biggest international wine awards show. There are bronze medals, silver, gold and then platinum. Lastly, the true creme de la creme are awarded Best in Show, and that is where you’ll find the stellar 2019 Trefethen Estate Grown Napa Valley Cabernet from the beloved Oak Knoll district. The wine is an absolute show stopper– dark and brooding with aromas of violets, black fruits and figs with notes of black cherry, raspberry, plum and chocolate mousse on the palate. At today’s price, it’s one of the best deals in all of Napa.
With seemingly infinite access to some of the absolute very best vineyards in the most choice AVAs in the valley, the Wagner’s set out to make Quilt– a Cabernet blend from a patchwork of the top sites in Napa (Oakville, St Helena, Atlas Peak, Coombsville, Calistoga, and Howell Mountain.) The brand new 2019 edition is a beauty – deeply concentrated, rich and a truly show stopping Cabernet. It’s a dark, hedonistic blend that combines elegance with power and pairs the two together effortlessly.
