The wine came from Tenuta Sette Cieli or “The Estate of Seven Skies” named for the view atop the tiny estate, perched up on a hill overlooking Bolgheri from nearly 1300 ft. Also in view from the estate is the original Sassacaia vineyard, the most famous Super Tuscan and the wine responsible for birthing an entire category around non-indigenous Italian varietals.
But Super Tuscan has become synonymous with $50+ price tags and Sassacaia, Tenuta San Guido’s Super Tuscan from the neighboring vineyard sells for more than $200 as soon as it’s released! I assumed that’s the convo we were about to have. When he told me the price though, I laughed. Frankly, I thought he was pulling my leg. But he wasn’t.
The 2018 Tenuta Sette Cieli “Yantra” is an absolute stunner crafted by a rising winemaking star in Elena Pozzolini. Drawn off the high-ground of Bolgheri from Bordeaux varietals just like Sassacaia, it’s also a steal at just $26 per bottle. Buy it now. Buy it by the case. Buy it by the pallet. I’m still afraid my importer friend had his decimal in the wrong place.
Berried up with juicy notes of black cherry, licorice, red fruits, spice, leather and coffee beans. The acidity is well integrated with a freshness and vibrancy that stands out from the first taste. The mouthfeel is smooth and silky, mirroring a wine with three times the price tag. A Tuesday Nighter at its best– great with any food, ready to drink now or age gracefully for a few years.

It’s always nice to be in good standing with one of the most beloved wine brands in America! These won’t last long! This is an opulent, powerful dark-fruited Cabernet with tightly woven tannins, that is just raring and ready to go. Textbook, full-bodied, revved up and ready to go, this new Caymus Napa Valley Cabernet is the definition of a crowd pleaser.
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.

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.
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.
