Terre di Talamo is on Tuscany’s southern coast, in Maremma, across from the Argentario Gulf. The winery is owned by the savvy Marco Bacci (Renieri, Castello di Bossi), which is why I even know about this and have the chance to offer my first ever Morellino di Scansano.
Whether it’s Montalcino, Maremma, or Chianti, Marco’s wines always offer a tremendous sense of place, giving this wine a great expression of the rocky, clay soils from which it was drawn, as well as the warm, coastal environment that impacted it along the way. In a hot year in Tuscany, Marco Bacci’s 2015 Morellino di Scansano was made entirely in stainless steel, giving it a supercharge in aromatic left as well as approachability and early drinkability.
Morellino is the locals’ term for Sangiovese; I had it the other day with a Nicholas Burger from B&R and got a chance to enjoy it for about five whole minutes before there was a figurative fire to put out. It was certainly a treat though.
Lots of inviting aromas of black cherry, violet, blueberries and spice. The wine attacks you from the first sip with its vibrancy and energy. It’s ready to go, I promise you that. A full-bodied, robust mouthfeel with generous dollops of blue and black fruits, good tannic structure and great balance. Leaves a pleasant aftertaste that has you coming back for another sip time and time again.

This is a gorgeous red with so much mushroom and black cherry aromas and flavors. Full body, velvety texture and a flavorful finish. Dusty second texture. Delicious Morellino. Drink or hold.

“This supple red shows a core of cherry and plum fruit allied to olive, juniper and tobacco notes. Delivers well-integrated tannins and acidic structure, lingering nicely on the finish.”

This offer is really an easy one. Two of the greatest wine pioneers from two different hemispheres (Baron Eric Rothschild from ‘Chateau Lafite Rothschild’ and Nicolas Catena from ‘Catena’) join forces to make a delicious, Bordeaux style Malbec, crafted nearly 4600 feet above sea level and offered for a fantastic price. This beauty that Vinous called, “remarkably intense” is a case-buy all the way every single vintage released. Only 30 btls to sell though… sorry in advance!
This is Joe Wagner and Quilt’s inaugural Red blend called Threadcount. It is a total knockout at the price point for this style of wine. It’s a big voluptuous wine and very fruit forward. The nose is straight up dark chocolate dipped raspberries and it tastes of fresh-baked blueberry pie, spice, and a touch of toffee. It’s the kind of quality blend that you’ve come to expect from the family behind Caymus.
94 Points, Tasting Panel
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.
