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.

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.

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.”
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!

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.

“Vignon’s 2019 Chateauneuf du Pape delivers even more than I hoped for based on a previous sample. Hints of garrigue, roses, cherries and raspberries appear on the nose, while the palate is full-bodied, silky and long, with an intense, almost briny finish. The assemblage is 50% Grenache, 10% each Mourvèdre and Syrah, plus smaller proportions of seven other permitted varieties, while the élevage includes foudres, demi-muids, concrete and wooden tanks, plus terracotta amphorae.”
