Grattamacca has been a trailblazer in Bolgheri as one of first wineries established in the region and the first winery in many regards. While their Cabernet and Merlot is especially renowned in Tuscany, their inclusion of Sangiovese in their Super Tuscans was unprecedented and flipped the region on its head.
The Grattamacco vineyards are located at an about 100 meters above sea level, in a wonderfully protected position over one of Bolgheri’s only two hills. It’s the nice part of time. Along with Grattamacco, their neighbors with triple digit price tag wines make the name Bolgheri internationally renowned.
The 2018 Grattamacca Bolgheri Rosso is absolutely phenomenal – outclassing and nearly outpointing some of its more famous (and way more expensive) neighbors. This one’s a powerhouse with a youthful charm you can enjoy now but it also has the structure to age for a very long time.
The 96-point score from James Suckling is our little secret. As soon as the importer realizes what he’s got, I’m sure he’ll have a dozen more calls to make. This is the bargain of the year in Tuscany. I can now say it confidently.

A dense and powerful young wine with ripe tannins. Full-bodied, juicy and rich. Striking structure and fruit.

It’s always nice to be in good standing with one of the most beloved wine brands in America! These won’t last long! This is an opulent, powerful dark-fruited Cabernet with tightly woven tannins, that is just raring and ready to go. Textbook, full-bodied, revved up and ready to go, this new Caymus Napa Valley Cabernet is the definition of a crowd pleaser.
#24 Wine of the Year (2022), Wine Spectator
92 Points, Wine Spectator – 91 Points, James Suckling
“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.”
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.
#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.
