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.

With seemingly infinite access to some of the absolute very best vineyards in the most choice AVAs in the valley, the Wagner’s set out to make Quilt– a Cabernet blend from a patchwork of the top sites in Napa (Oakville, St Helena, Atlas Peak, Coombsville, Calistoga, and Howell Mountain.) The brand new 2021 edition is a beauty – deeply concentrated, rich and a truly show stopping Cabernet. It’s a dark, hedonistic blend that combines elegance with power and pairs the two together effortlessly.
#24 Wine of the Year (2022), Wine Spectator

“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.”
#3 Wine Spectator Top 100 Wines of 2021
96 Points, Parker’s Wine Advocate – 95 Points, Wine Spectator
We are one of the very few folks who have Wine Spectator’s #3 Wine of the Year. This is definitely not one to miss. The 2016 vintage showcases this prized vineyard in all its glory; notes of wild black fruit, thyme, mint, eucalyptus, and bay are lifted and enjoyed with the polished tannin and mouthwatering freshness of this wine. Regarded as one of the best vintages in the last few decades, the 2016 Martha’s Vineyard has been aged to perfection for immediate enjoyment at release and will continue to reward for the next 20+ years.
In the 2020 vintage in Gevrey-Chambertin, yields were super low and temperatures were hotter than most Burgundian winemakers are accustomed. Many picked too late when the sugars were high and the fruit really ripe, but that was not the play. Still, Ann remained as cool in those hot temps as she did so many years ago in Napa, concentrating more on acid levels than sugars and picking at just the right time. This wine is absolutely singing – it’s an age-worthy beauty that should be even better in 4-7 years.
