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.

“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
This is a sensational single-vineyard Merlot made from incredibly tiny clusters, full of some of the most elegant, intensely structured fruit from high atop Sonoma Mountain. Beautiful weight and balance with aromas of blueberries, black currants, sage and a hint of cocoa. It’s got a full, plush mouthfeel, pristine and vibrant fruit and a wonderful smooth finish. Thanks to Chad’s big bet on himself, he was able to make a knockout Sonoma Mountain beauty, without the need for any middleman, helping us to enjoy one of his best creations at an outstanding price.

The new release is here from outstanding winemaking team of Michel Rolland, Charles Thomas, Andy Erickson and David Jelenik. This one always represents one of the best quality-to-price ratios in all of Napa Cab and in the stellar 2021 vintage, this really stands out as one of the best the Valley has to offer. It’s a racy mix of Coombsville fruit from Atlas Peak that absolutely roars out of the bottle. Always one of Napa’s great bargains and a must have even as the price starts to sneak up here a little bit.
The 2021 Napa Valley East side Cuvee is an instant classic. From the first whiff to the moment it hits the lips, its clear that this is a fabulously concentrated, serious wine: black in color, and featuring aromas of cassis, cedar and chocolate-tinged purple fruit. The mouthfeel is plush and voluptuous with a firm, solid finish that speaks to its potential for considerable aging.
