When you talk about the history of winemaking, there aren’t many places like Tuscany that can seamlessly trace their winemaking routes back by many centuries. Sure the French have some oldies too, but so many Tuscan wineries have been passed down from generation to generation, keeping the same traditions and building upon a winning recipe.
Case in point is Poggibonsi right outside the border of the Black Rooster historic Chianti area. There lies Ormanni’s estate, which has a history that goes back hundreds of years. With 60 hectares of vineyards on the Chianti/Chianti Classico border, the estate is one of the highest regarded wineries in the region with their innovative take on old-school practices.
Their neighbors seem to always take notice, as do the critics. Antonio Galloni’s Vinous called out the winery last year, saying “readers with classically leaning pallets will find much to admire. Their property along the border of Chianti Classico is amongst the most intriguing in the region.”
While Ormanni makes a number of wines– they have developed an incredibly strong reputation for their Sangiovese. Every year, their Sangiovese Big 3 of Chianti Classico, Riserva and Gran Selezione earn big time scores. Farming organically and using both cement and steel for fermenting, the winery takes their time with aging, with the wines eventually being switched to casks. These make for some crazy good and age-worthy wines that show beautifully in their youth.

Camphor, new leather, dark spice and ripe wild berry aromas waft out of the glass. On the dense palate, close-grained tannins accompany roasted coffee bean, coconut, licorice and dried cherry. Drink through 2023.

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 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 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.

“This supple red shows a core of cherry and plum fruit allied to olive, juniper and tobacco notes. Delivers well-integrated tannins and acidic structure, lingering nicely on the finish.”
