In an ideal location in Northern Montalcino near Biondi Santi’s Il Greppo and La Serena, sits San Filippo Estate. Founded in 1972, the estate has become a whole other animal, since Roberto Giannelli took over more than 15 years ago and transferred the winery into one of the best in the region.
Said Robert Parker Jr. about the transformation, “San Filippo is home to some of the best boutique Brunello today. This wasn’t always the case, and I am thrilled to have witnessed the growth of this promising estate throughout the years. The quality of the product has made quantum leaps since I first tasted the wines more than a decade ago.”
Much of their success can be attributed to Gianelli going out and hiring one of the best Italian winemakers in the business, Paolo Caciorgna who Giannelli lured over from Altesino and making wine for Sting. But in the fabulous 2016 vintage in Brunello, even Caciorgna would tell you that there was very little to do beside take everything a dream vintage like that gives you and try not to mess it up. He did better than that.
The 2016 Rosso di Montalcino is a big, loud wine with juicy red fruits, intense aromas and aided by a wonderful spicy component. On the palate, it is full-bodied and terrifically balanced. Released at $30/btl, we’re 1/3 off that price today… on bottle 1!

Not Eligible for Futher Discount-From famed winemaker, Robert Foley comes an absolute delight of a bottle of wine. A seamless Bordeaux blend of 80% Cabernet, 17% Merlot and 3% Petit Verdot that is incredibly smoothly now but should have another decade easy of prime drinking. It is the definition of a Saturday Night bottle of wine. One to cherish for a special occasion.
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.

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 2018 Palmer is a legend in the making…This audacious Palmer was still revving its engines 48 hours after opening. There will never be another Palmer like this, sui generis. It was a massive risk. But by throwing caution to the wind, something extraordinary was born.” -100 points, Vinous
