Il Poggione in Montalcino is a historic producer that has churned out some of the best Sangiovese in the region for decades. In fact, as one of the original three producers of Brunello di Montalcino, they set the standard for increased quality.
They make nothing but fabulous wines. In fact, they made one of the best Brunellos I’ve tasted in the last twenty years, their 2016 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Vigna Paganelli.
The estate is sprawling, 1,500 acres, though only 350 are planted to vines with the rest olive groves, sowable land and woodlands used for raising cattle and pigs. Apart from being one of the oldest vineyards in Montalcino, the majority of the vines are also planted above 1,300 ft. above sea level – which when paired with their proximity to the sea, provides the estate with a picture perfect climate for growing slowly maturing, perfectly ripe Sangiovese.

Lots of mahogany, bark and cocoa powder on the nose. Some mushrooms and dried cherries, too. Medium-bodied with slightly grainy tannins. The wood is a little obvious, but pleasant nonetheless. Drink now.
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.

The flagship from Xavier is the 2019 Châteauneuf Du Pape Cuvee Anonyme, and in 2019 it’s 60% Grenache, 15% Mourvèdre, 10% Syrah, and the balance a mix of permitted varieties. Partially destemmed and brought up in a mix of demi-muids and tank, it offers a beautifully pure, vibrant bouquet of black raspberries, white and black pepper, candied orange, and violets. Complex, layered, and nuanced, this beauty is medium to full-bodied, has a seamless texture, and a great finish. It has both elegance and richness, and will keep for 15+ years.

Antonio Galloni called it, “hands down one of the wines of the vintage.” The Wine Advocate chipped in with “a refreshing, beautifully perfumed and skillfully crafted expression of the vintage.” Here’s what I’ll say: How could you do any better than securing a few bottles of a wine with 30-40 years of life left that is already showing better than giants such as Lafite, Margaux and Le Pin. There aren’t many years in Bordeaux’s history where one of the top 3-5 wines of the vintage was a $105 bottling and not one available at four figures.
Wines from this winery often go for FOUR figures; well over a thousand dollars per bottle and basic bottlings off this particular vineyard typically retail for $350. This is one of the great vineyards of Stag’s Leap – but somehow Ry Richards was able to weasel out six barrels – as long as he never reveals his source. This is a knock-out Cabernet Sauvignon, perfect with grilled beef or with just a hunk of cheese. And with a little help from Ry, Nicholas Wines customers can enjoy a price way, way below market value for a wine like this.
