This is one of those famous Super Tuscans that 100% lives up to the hype almost every vintage but especially in a vintage as special as 2007. This is one of those must-haves for collectors.
It received an ocean of big press, a 94-point Editors’ Choice from Wine Enthusiast, and a 95-point review from Antonio Galloni who wrote “simply put, the 2007 is a magnificent Tignanello.” It also has a 95 from Parker’s Wine Advocate who calls the wine “ripe with promise for the future” in her 2015 review of the wine, where she gave it 95 points. Decanter came in at 96 and called it “rich, layered and full of pleasure” and Wine Spectator, the stingiest publication in the world came in at a whopping 97. still, given where this wine is now in its journey and being from the much-heralded 2007 vintage, this is worth every penny.

97 Points, Wine Spectator
Big, rich and dense, this is still a bit closed despite being integrated. The velvety texture embraces cherry, plum, tobacco, iron and spice aromas and flavors. Long, with a terrific aftertaste.
96 Points, Decanter
A highly aromatic wine with cinnamon-spiced redcurrant and raspberry fruits. This is rich, layered and full of pleasure as it slides towards 13 years old. There is a striking softness to the tannins that is pure seduction, coupled with dried leaf edging, as well as grilled and smoky rosemary with saffron touches. It has a saline, salty caramel finish that gives focus and freshness at the close of play.
#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.
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.

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.
95 Points, Jeb Dunnuck – 95 Points, Lisa Perotti-Brown
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.
