Tenuta Sette Ponti is a historic estate in Chianti in the heart of Tuscany. The estate has an incredible history unlike anybody else’s as it was first planted by Prince Amedeo of Savoy-Aosta and Viceroy of Ethiopia in 1935 to celebrate conquering the Ethiopian Empire. The vineyard was originally labeled “Vigna dell’Impero” (Vineyard of the Empire) and is home to a very famous, ancient Sangiovese clone which is the only of its kind.
A few decades later – the property was bought by Architect Alberto Moretti Cuseri from the Princess (the daughter of Prince Amedeo). He immediately began transforming the enormous 750 acre property into the marvel it is today.
Vineyards, acres of livestock roaming around and a ton of mixed agriculture, now make up this enormous estate. Wine production only started in the 1990’s, but it found immediate success and has done wonders to spread the legacy of Tenuta Sette Ponti.
Today, they are known for their work with Reds and Sangiovese especially. The ‘Crognolo’, today’s offer, was the first label at this historic estate. It’s made from the clones from the estate’s oldest vineyard, and helped drive the reputation here as one of the nation’s best producers. That was furthered by the release of the ‘Oreno’ a wine widely considered one of the best Tuscany bottlings of any kind.

The purity of fruit is impressive in this wine with currants, orange peel, peaches and lemon in the nose and on the palate. Full-bodied yet compressed and agile. Flavorful finish. Reserved now, but if you give it a year or two it will really deliver.

Ultra fresh juicy cherries with more delicate aromas of violets and rose petals on the nose roll onto a palate rich with more cherries and berries balanced by earthy, astringent notes of soil, branches and roots and a finish of bitter cocoa and anise.
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 2020 Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is truly sensational. It begins with striking aromas of fresh blackberries, blueberries and dark plums that are laced with fresh spring florals, mocha, sweet exotic spices, graphite and gravel nuances all taking shape. The palate is full-bodied and displays a remarkable combination of power and elegance throughout. This is beautifully structured and extremely expressive, as it possesses outstanding depth and concentration all they way through the long, finessed finish. Year after year, the Columbia Valley Cabernet is one of the most impressive wines, and there is no exception here, as it combines all the wonderful qualities of the 2020 vintage from Quilceda Creek into one expression. This is fantastic already and readers will be in for a real treat, as this simply marvelous wine will continue to deliver the goods for years to come.”

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.
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.
