The Supremus’ winemaking team is led by Franco Bernabei, the world-class oncologist who has served as consultant to several of the most prestigious estates in Italy. The majority of his projects at Folonari, Felsina, Fontodi or Sartori are offered at prices far beyond today’s price tag though they’re all critically-acclaimed Tuscan gems, and a testament to the mastery of his craft.
For the Supremus project, Bernabei partnered directly with Italian Wine Importer extraordinaire Neil Empson for Direct Import. Select vineyard sites were chosen from Maremma, Colline Pisane, and Colli Fiorentini. The vineyards are quite mature – over 25 years old and almost all over 1,000 feet in elevation.
Today’s 2016 Supremus Toscana is an under-$30 Tuscan knockout, a 94-point home run of a wine. James Suckling – in his 94 point review notes that it’s “Wonderfully silky and juicy with an abundance of freshly crushed berries. Very fine. One of the finest wines they have made.”
I concur. Deep Crimson in color, with bright red fruits, crushed blueberries and violets, and topped off with a finish that won’t quit. Only 500 cases were made total. A mere ¼ of that made it Stateside. Drink now or throw it in the cellar for another 5 to 10 years.

94 Points, James Suckling
Pretty aromas of rosehip, pomegranate, raspberry, blueberry orange zest and cedar. It’s medium bodied with sleek fine tannins. Wonderfully silky and juicy with an abundance of freshly crushed berries. Very fine. One of the finest wines they have made. Drink or hold.

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.
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.
The secret to Philippe’s tightly wound, complex Pinot Noir is a combo of ancient vines, natural farming techniques, and low yields. The wines are built to age, with incredible tension and length. And the secret to me securing his other-wordly 2017 old-vine Gevry-Chambertin can be chalked up to a great relationship and over a decade supporting superior Burgundian winemaking. The wine is scary good. The nose is wild, filled with spiced dark raspberries, red flowers, and baking spices. The palate is elegant and racy, with a dynamic tension that runs right through its minute-long finish. This is a high-toned, wound-up Pinot, that is starting to hit its prime and is really turning out to be a ‘must-have’ for true Burgundy lovers.
Anne Sery describes her Trousse Chemise Cabernets as an ode to the Left Bank and her winemaking roots. It’s a beautiful and fresh Cabernet with aromas that leap from the glass with of black raspberry, violets, and creme de liquor notes. The mouth gives generous amounts of juicy black fruits at the core with hints of baking spice and a smooth, savory finish. This is a terrific partner for just about anything from hard cheese, to poultry, summer salads, you name it!
