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.

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. For his 2022 cuvee, 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 always a fantastic bottle to have around.
#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.
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 2021 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.
Anne Sery describes her Trousse Chemise Cabernets as an ode to the Left Bank and her winemaking roots. It’s a beautiful and fresh Cabernet with aromas that leap from the glass with of black raspberry, violets, and creme de liquor notes. The mouth gives generous amounts of juicy black fruits at the core with hints of baking spice and a smooth, savory finish. This is a terrific partner for just about anything from hard cheese, to poultry, summer salads, you name it!
