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.

95-96 Pts, James Suckling
A dense and powerful young wine with ripe tannins. Full-bodied, juicy and rich. Striking structure and fruit.

94 Points, Tasting Panel
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.
91 Points, Wine Enthusiast
Always the one with the most personality of the bunch, this is what Wine Enthusiast had to say about the 2021 release: “This extremely ripe and bold style of Pinot Noir will please those seeking such lushness. Dark in the glass, it begins with black cherry, toasty caramel and cola milk shake aromas.” The cool, coastal days and abundance of sunshine lines up perfectly for a wine that has a good natural acidic backbone, with bold fruit-forward flavors. In an easy 2021 vintage, Joe Wagner had a field day with this single-vineyard beauty.
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!
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.
