With the help of Andre Tchelistcheff, the famous agronomist, Marchese Lodovico Antinori planted the first French vines in Bolgheri which lies in the heart of Tuscany’s coastal region, Maremma in the early 1980’s. It’s safe to say the region has never been the same since.
Ornellaia has established itself among the iconic wine estates in Italy (and beyond). The estate is dedicated to producing charming, rich and opulent wines, full of Mediterranean character and finesse, reflecting the estate’s unique terroir in Bolgheri on the Tuscan coast.
Ornellaia is one third of what has come to be known as the Big 3 Super Tuscans, along with Tignanello (the first Super Tuscan) and Sassicaia. Each year, these are some of the most gorgeous, age-worthy bottlings and the magnificent 2019 bottling from Ornellaia is no different. This is still a baby, but already is starting to show it’s potential as a near perfect wine, so it’s no surprising that this one comes with all the big scores. I only have six bottles total. This should make a few lucky collectors very, very happy.

In the 2020 vintage in Gevrey-Chambertin, yields were super low and temperatures were hotter than most Burgundian winemakers are accustomed. Many picked too late when the sugars were high and the fruit really ripe, but that was not the play. Still, Ann remained as cool in those hot temps as she did so many years ago in Napa, concentrating more on acid levels than sugars and picking at just the right time. This wine is absolutely singing – it’s an age-worthy beauty that should be even better in 4-7 years.
Winemaker Pascal Sirat consistently puts out some of the best value Bordeaux in the region but he may have outdone himself in what was a stellar 2019 vintage throughout the region. Just south of Pomerol, the vines at Panchille borrow deep in the soil. The resulting wines are ripe but fresh, with an aromatic complexity and stony finish usually reserved for wine twice the price. Daniel Boulud tells me it’s been the hottest bottle of wine at Bar Boulud for over a month, so I figured I’d better hurry up and secure my allocation! Don’t miss it.

“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.”
At J Vineyards, Nicole is nothing short of a magician, making 30 different skus or more each vintage between her Pinots, Chardonnays, and Sparkling wines. For the vineyard’s flagship Russian River Valley Pinot Noir, up to 100 individual small lots are combined to make this great wine. Somehow, the blend is effortless–a quintessential RRV Pinot that has those soaring aromatics, bright red fruits, clove, and nutmeg spice with perfect balance.
