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.

This is Joe Wagner and Quilt’s inaugural Red blend called Threadcount. It is a total knockout at the price point for this style of wine. It’s a big voluptuous wine and very fruit forward. The nose is straight up dark chocolate dipped raspberries and it tastes of fresh-baked blueberry pie, spice, and a touch of toffee. It’s the kind of quality blend that you’ve come to expect from the family behind Caymus.
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!

The oft 100-point winemaker, Jayson Woodbridge had this to say when tasting his 2021 ‘Stargazing’ Sonoma Pinot: “The wine is vibrant and complex with subtle dark fruits and berries, grandmother’s cherry pie, minerals, and a slight touch of rain-soaked earth, intertwined with a balance and very pleasing easy-going luxury. Should have been priced higher but what the hell.” I have no doubt this clerical error will be addressed in the vintages moving forward. But for now, this is a cult Pinot for under $100/bottle.

“The 2021 Malbec Reserva, from Vistalba, Lujan de Cuyo, was 60% aged in barrels for 12 months. Purple in color. The nose presents notes of fresh plum and violets, white pepper, strawberry, hints of spice and aromas from the aging process. It’s initially indulgent in the mouth, with good fat, and volume and a velvety texture. The flavors are bold and full-bodied. This 2021 overdelivers at the price.” -Vinous
