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.

Damien has crafted a delicious Médoc, full of character with dense black currant and cherry fruit, cedar, tobacco and wonderful complexity. It’s silky complexion is what pushes it over the edge (and, of course, the price!) It doesn’t hurt that it comes from a 95-point Left Bank vintage that the Wine Advocate declared, “outstanding.”

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.

“The 2020 Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is truly sensational. It begins with striking aromas of fresh blackberries, blueberries and dark plums that are laced with fresh spring florals, mocha, sweet exotic spices, graphite and gravel nuances all taking shape. The palate is full-bodied and displays a remarkable combination of power and elegance throughout. This is beautifully structured and extremely expressive, as it possesses outstanding depth and concentration all they way through the long, finessed finish. Year after year, the Columbia Valley Cabernet is one of the most impressive wines, and there is no exception here, as it combines all the wonderful qualities of the 2020 vintage from Quilceda Creek into one expression. This is fantastic already and readers will be in for a real treat, as this simply marvelous wine will continue to deliver the goods for years to come.”
The newly released Fiancetto Howell Mt. Cabernet is a dream – a gorgeous, elegant dark-fruited Cabernet Sauvignon that is it picks up time in the glass, unfurls its full signature of cedar laced cassis nose and mid palate of chocolate-covered cherries and savory spices. Only four palates of this (224 cases) were made off a gorgeous, sprawling high elevation spot 1500 feet above sea level. It’s full and plush and finishes fresh and oh so long. The price is crazy for Howell Mountain Cabernet but that’s what Ry Richards and Fiancetto is all about.
