The vineyard was obtained from Palmer and Durfort in 1928 and 1933. It is situated among the highest elevations in the commune and the soil type is permeable gravel. The modest house and winery are a quarter of a mile away, on the outskirts of town, literally on the other side of the tracks. The Martin family used to raise dairy cows there, not only for the income derived from the milk, but also for the manure used in the vineyard. Yannick Martin, who took over from his father in 2014, told me that growing up he spent way too much time repairing fences. Although Yannick still uses exclusively cow manure as fertilizer, today the cattle are gone and he has more time to concentrate on his wine production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn Medoc dialect “barrail” or “barralhe” refers to a bank of land marking the boundary of personal property.

The average vine age is 40 years and the varietal mix is 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc\/Petit Verdot. The planting is very dense with most sections having 10,000 plants per hectare. No chemicals are used in the vineyard and harvesting is done manually. Fermentations are done in stainless steel and the wine is aged in barrels (20% to 25% new) for twelve months with several rackings.

The original vines were mostly grafted and propagated in-house from budwood obtained from the few local vineyards in the surrounding area. The first planting consisted of Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Vidal, and Seyval. Heirloom apples and blueberries were also planted for a pick-your-own operation that was eventually phased out in the early 2000s.

Together they decided to quit farming and concentrate on winemaking , their vineyard is now over 135 acres. Very soon they saw that you could only score points with high quality wines, both in Austria and internationally. After some trips to Champagne country, they started creating sparkling wine in 1989 - which are produced with the exact same methodology and natural bubbles as Champagne. They specialize in both wine and sparkling wine (the noblest form of wine). Their motto is “Good wines are created only by the perfect interplay of many factors: in addition to the natural influences such as soil, climate and weather, our personal experiences and ideas also flow into our wines and thus give them a very special touch”. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Select","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40242349211801,"sku":"787263316320","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0149\/9247\/4212\/products\/819ef4e95dd0505b91af9889ccf0b66aecebfb9f.png?v=1775320064"},{"product_id":"chteautalbotsaint-julien2018","title":"Château Talbot \"Connétable\" Saint-Julien 2019","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlcohol\u003c\/strong\u003e: 14,5%\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrape(s)\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cabernet-Sauvignon, Merlot\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLocation\u003c\/strong\u003e : Médoc, Bordeaux, France\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e: A strong team is in place at Talbot, led by\u003cspan\u003e Jean-Michel Laporte (formerly of La Conseillante) as technical director and Stéphane Derenoncourt as consultant.

It is a well known fact: to be and to remain the owner of a well respected vineyard, one must be endowed with a real aristocracy that identifies itself with the vineyard and the wine. Everything must be sacrificed for this, beginning with interests (…). In order to be a grand cru owner, you must in some way be in love with it… ”His son Georges and then his grandson, Jean, succeeded him as the head of the estate. Under their guidance, Talbot became one of the most famous growths in the Bordeaux region.Following the death of Jean Cordier, his daughters Lorraine and Nancy, took over the reins of Talbot. Enriched with the still vivid memory of knowledge and experience of past generations which preceded them, Lorraine and Nancy worked together to do justice to this Grand Cru with all the talent and respect that it deserved. Today Nancy Bignon Cordier, her husband Jean-Paul, their children Philippine, Marguerite and Gustave Bignon pursue the story of Talbot; a long history which has always united with passion the destiny of a family to that of a vineyard.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Monsieur Touton","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40353329578137,"sku":"015643660429","price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0149\/9247\/4212\/products\/d7e7fd46ae001b616cb570f2f8699c83930b7c6f.png?v=1768847846"},{"product_id":"chateau-magneau-graves-2016","title":"Château Magneau Graves  ROUGE 2022","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\" style=\"margin: 0px 0px 11px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlcohol:\u003c\/b\u003e 12,5%\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" style=\"margin: 0px 0px 11px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eGrape(s):\u003c\/b\u003e Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" style=\"margin: 0px 0px 11px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eLocalization:\u003c\/b\u003e Bordeaux, France\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" style=\"margin: 0px 0px 11px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eDescription:\u003c\/b\u003e The red wine is a blend of 50% Merlot, 45% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Cabernet Franc.

It is located in the historic commune of La Brède, a mile from the historic moated castle where Montesquieu was born. Today, Chateau Magneau is run by Henri Ardurats and his two sons Jean-Louis and Bruno along with Jean-Louis’ wife, Brigitte, who is responsible for the sales. Jean-Louis is in charge of the vineyards as well as the winemaking. He continually works on the expression of his wines by farming parcels of land individually and then vinifying each separately according to its intrinsic character. A modern winery was built in 1980 and a new barrel cellar in 1996. From one generation to the next, the Ardurats have passed on the philosophy of “quality before profit\" and they have been recognized by an exhaustive list of awards. In 2002, they received the Trophée des Crus de Graves, an award which is given by colleagues and which recognizes only a few chateaux from the entire appellation. The Ardurats farm 41 hectares of land with deep gravelly soil in the heart of the Graves appellation. Farming is done without the use of chemical insecticides and harvesting is done both by hand and by machine. Before entering the winery all grape bunches are hand-sorted to ensure the highest quality of fruit. The Ardurats are a member of Terra Vitis, an organization that certifies the practice of sustainable agriculture as well as high standards for the wine’s vinification.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" style=\"margin: 0px 0px 11px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wine Traditions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40670025875609,"sku":"857072001455","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0149\/9247\/4212\/products\/85d0809941a078e1505a5c4d76b6422cb97c20c2.png?v=1774967224"},{"product_id":"secret-squirrel-cabernet-sauvignon-2016","title":"Secret Squirrel Cabernet Sauvignon 2019","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlcohol: \u003c\/strong\u003e14,5%\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrape(s): \u003c\/strong\u003eCabernet Sauvignon\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLocalization: \u003c\/strong\u003eColumbia Valley, Washington, USA\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting notes: \u003c\/strong\u003eClassic aromas of dried fig, black cherry, licorice, and cassis combine with herbaceous notes of cedar, cigar box, and wild herbs.

Led by their Los Olivos Chardonnay, they have expanded with several other wines, from their estate in Jameson Canyon, as well as from a few vineyards which they manage in the cooler micro climates of Sonoma County and Napa Valley. Hugo Maldonado and consulting winemaker, Jean Hoefilger, originally met at Newton, where the Maldonados still manage all the vineyards.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaldonado’s Napa story begins when Lupe Maldonado came to the Napa Valley in 1962 at the age of 19 from the small farming community of Atacheo, in Michoacán, Mexico. Only 9 wineries who were producing wine commercially in 1962 are still in production today. There certainly was a much smaller pool of wineries who were hiring then versus today. Sterling Vineyards wasn’t even in existence yet – but it was at Sterling and Newton Vineyard where Lupe would spend 30 years of his wine career. When founder Peter Newton sold Sterling and decided to start Newton Vineyards it was Lupe who came with him and was instrumental in developing all their new vineyards. Son Hugo, a UC Davis graduate with a degree in Enology \u0026amp; Viticulture succeeded him in 1999 as Newton’s Vineyard Manager.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLand for either vineyards or winery use in the Napa Valley is at a premium and certainly not inexpensive. After locating and purchasing a 12 acre piece of property (came with an existing winery permit) just outside of Calistoga (off of the Old Lawley Toll Road), Hugo submitted his request to build a cave to several drilling companies. After seeing the rather pricey bids that came back he took matters into his own hands and decided to drill it out himself!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe spoke with a number of drilling company employees to find out more about the process and after securing all the necessary permits started digging. They hooked up a drilling wheel to a backhoe and started work. After a few days of making quick progress they thought it was going to be a surprisingly easy job. Not so – they ran into solid bedrock and it took 2-3 weeks just to excavate 1 foot deeper. The entire cave drilling\/excavation took about 2 years and the final cave is about 3600 square feet. A fairly unique feature in Napa wine caves is their remarkably tall ceiling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday Maldonado Family operates their own vineyard management company – overseeing their own vineyards as well as select premium vineyards (mostly in Napa but some vineyards in Sonoma as well).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Z Wine Guy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43142181191937,"sku":"855842006020","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0149\/9247\/4212\/products\/maldonao-prop_cb469419-7f2c-4729-a94d-d9ee7d2d0666.png?v=1659203934"},{"product_id":"eisele-vineyard-altagracia-cabernet-sauvignon-2019","title":"Eisele Vineyard “Altagracia” Cabernet Sauvignon 2020","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlcohol\u003c\/b\u003e: 14.8%\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eGrape(s)\u003c\/b\u003e:\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e 88% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Cabernet Franc, 5% Petit Verdot\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eLocalization\u003c\/b\u003e: Napa Valley, California, USA\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This is an exceptional vintage.

Today, Robert Mondavi Winery continues to pursue the fullest expression of Napa Valley terroir in wines that are also varietally authentic. Mondavi chose to situate his estate next to To Kalon Vineyard, one of the most coveted wine growing parcels in the world, known for producing award-winning Cabernet Sauvignon and for its Sauvignon Blanc.One of the first goals Robert Mondavi set for himself was recreating Sauvignon Blanc, which was, at the time a sweet, unnuanced wine. He sought inspiration in Loire Valley Pouilly Fumé, enlivening it with a uniquely California profile. He named the delightfully rich and refined yet bright, fresh wine he created Fumé Blanc. It’s Sauvignon Blanc, plus so much more.

The history follows vintner Lia Tolaini Banville from her birthplace in Canada to her ancestral home outside the city of Lucca, where at the age of six on her family's annual summer holiday, Lia met her Aunt Laura who would become a driving force in in her life . Laura was mother to three rough-and-tumble boys and immediately bonded with Lia. Thus began the tradition of yearly visits where during the warm summer days and nights Laura would instill in Lia an appreciation for Italian culture, history, music and most of all art. Laura's presence in Lia's life would inspire her as a mother, cook,\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2004 an opportunity arose to write a new chapter in the story, this time in Castelnuovo Berardenga with the production of the Chianti wine label Donna Laura. A loving tribute to the woman whose lessons of family, tradition and honor would share double billing with Lia's own heritage. Roman gods Venus, Bacchus and Cupid personifying Lia's children adorn the labels of Donna Laura Wines, celebrating this legacy of devotion to family and affirming the adage ' Who turns, who turns ,  always at home goes to end ' - no matter where you go or turn you will always end up at home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe approach to viticulture and winemaking at Donna Laura reflects the nurturing, wholesome environment shaped by these strong women. In the vineyards an absolute respect for the soil, vines and future of the land is cultivated through careful and constant attention. These practices include green harvesting as necessary, planting cover crops to enrich the nutrients in the soil and forgoing the use of harmful chemicals to maintain a pristine and sustainable ecosystem in optimal balance. In the winery organic principles are applied by incorporating modern technology, sparing usage of sulfites and a sterile environment all while honoring the traditions of this historic region.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Banville","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43765467218177,"sku":"8054377050061","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0149\/9247\/4212\/products\/6d7154f597639e3e72f06b94f11acfada711411d_368dd8d5-5006-452d-b63e-c6a38ad72559.jpg?v=1676655026"},{"product_id":"thorn-clarke-shotfire-quartage-2018","title":"Thorn Clarke Shotfire \"Quartage\" 2022","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\" style=\"margin: 0px 0px 11px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlcohol:\u003c\/b\u003e 14.5%\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" style=\"margin: 0px 0px 11px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eGrape(s):\u003c\/b\u003e Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" style=\"margin: 0px 0px 11px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eLocalization:\u003c\/b\u003e Barossa Valley, Australia\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" style=\"margin: 0px 0px 11px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eTasting notes:\u003c\/b\u003e A blend of four classic varietals; Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Cabernet Franc \u0026amp;\u003cbr\u003eMerlot.

When he grew up, he became a sommelier at a restaurant with over 1,500 labels on the menu. He met the love of his life, Kenya. She had recently moved from Mexico to Boston and was looking to continue her career as an architect. Max and Kenya began dating and their first ever vacation was a trip to San Miguel de Allende to attend her friend’s wedding. Max immediately fell in love with the food, the people, and the culture of Mexico and knew that he wanted to return. Another one of Kenya’s friends was getting married in Ensenada, a mere 20 minutes from the Valle de Guadalupe. When Kenya suggested taking a day to visit the vineyards, Max was perplexed. He didn’t even know that Mexico produced wine! They spent a wonderful day visiting wineries and learning about Mexican wine culture. Max was smitten. When Kenya asked him if he thought the wines were good, he said that he would put several of them on his own wine list, which for him was the highest praise. Fast forward, Max and Kenya were getting married in the place where it all began, San Miguel de Allende. 120 of their closest friends and relatives had flown in to paticipate in the wedding and celebrations. Max had done his research and picked out some Mexican wine to be served at the reception. Max and Kenya hoped that people would like the wine and appreciate what Mexico had to offer. It went better than they could ever imagine! In the days after the wedding, they were bombarded with phone calls from Max’s family asking what wine was served and where they could buy it in Boston.

He planned to work a few years, make some money, then go back home, buy a farm, marry his high school sweetheart and make some good wine... and not with his feet this time! It took Pierluigi 45 years before he returned with a clear vision of the high-quality wine he wanted to make: one of Italy's best, no less. In 1998 he returned to his native land and purchased some of the best lands in the region of Chianti Classico in the noted commune of Castelnuovo Berardenga. He constructed, from the roots up, this state-of-the-art winery and brought together the best technology and winemakers to bring to light wines that would be a true expression of this significant region. Pierluigi hired famed enologist Michel Rolland and Tuscan agronomist Andrea Paoletti, who put together a team that shares Pierluigi's vision - to make the best wines possible with one vitally unique ingredient - the terroir of Chianti Classico's southernmost commune: Castelnuovo Berardenga. A true marriage of tradition and modern technology. The belief in the \"best fruit produces the best wine\" is the fundamental principle of the Tolaini estate. High-density planting per hectare and low yield per plant is a proven strategy worldwide in producing excellent quality fruit. With up to 11,500 plants per hectare in the less hilly vineyards, drip irrigation for each plant, and two green harvests to pre-select the healthiest and most promising bunches on the vine, the Tolaini property produces fruit of unsurpassable quality. This fruit is evident in every mouthful of the estate's four incredible red wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRuggero Mazzilli is Tolaini's consulting agronomist and is based in Gaiole in Chianti where he is the owner and founder of SPEVIS (The Experimental Station for Sustainable Viticulture). Under Ruggero's supervision Panzano in Chianti became the first Bio-Distretto (Organic District) in the world, immediately followed by San Gimignano and Gaiole in Chianti. SPEVIS works with the best scientific research institutes to find new solutions to practical vineyard issues by following the principles of organic agriculture and respectful environmental practices. With Ruggero as part of the team, Tolaini will continue to cultivate the maximum expression of Chianti Classico terroir while farming organically and sustainably.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike the vineyards surrounding it, the winery at Tolaini Estate is an expression of both old and new. An optical sorter guarantees that only the healthy whole grapes make it into the fermentation vats. The best grapes from each harvest are fermented in open-top fermenters made of French Allier oak (12 units of 4500-liter capacity), a time-proven touch that increases the complexity of the wines. The generous array of tank sizes allows for individual parcels of grapes to be fermented and stored separately. These batches are kept apart through subsequent barrel aging in new French oak before blending. Today Luca D'Attoma is the consulting oenologist and his hand is apparent starting with the 2015 vintage of Tolaini.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTolaini wines are known internationally for their impeccable quality and incredible taste.

Mac produced his first vintage in 2002 with half a ton of grapes in a small cooperative in Paso Robles. From that humble beginning, Mac has developed a growing portfolio of wines with broad appeal. In 2014 Mac moved the winery to the current site nestled amidst the rolling hills of the Adelaida District. Over the years, McPrice Myers wines continue to garner increasing attention from wine lovers and critics alike.\u003cbr\u003eOn a cold December day, a wine enthusiast walked into the rustic McPrice Myers tasting room to try Mac’s wines for the first time. Immediately wowed by the depth and sophistication of the wines, Venus Lai signed up for the wine club. Little did anyone know that this would be the beginning of a journey that two years later would lead to a partnership to purchase the property - 84 acres of Adelaida District land that they named Belle Terre (a play on Beautiful Earth – one of Mac’s flagship wines), which was home to the winery, 20 acres of vineyards, and a house sitting atop the hill.\u003cbr\u003eThe property had good bones - rich terroir, excellent climate, and a top-notch production site, but there was so much more potential to be realized. Mac and Venus shared a vision to transform the property into an experience that would live up to the quality and breadth of the wines. In 2018 the Hilltop House was transformed into a luxurious modern vacation home. They plan to showcase both the wines and the property by increasing the vineyard acreage, creating a new hospitality \u0026amp; tasting facility (opening 2023), and elevating the experience for wine club members.

Located just 17 miles from the Pacific coastline, Jada epitomizes the renowned Willow Creek District, one of the coolest AVAs in Paso Robles with the densest concentration of vineyards. First planted in 1999, our vineyard encompasses 55 rolling acres of vines and eight different Rhône, Bordeaux, and “heirloom” varieties. In 2014, the vineyard was converted to organic farming practices and was certified organic in 2022.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"section_text-card -cream-section after-banner\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"container -white-card -textcard-right\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"text-large\"\u003eJada Vineyard came into being in 1999 when fields of golden barley were planted over to grapevine by the Messinas, second-generation Italian immigrants from Brooklyn, NY who traveled to Paso Robles as one of the pioneering families of the Westside. Their ambition was to establish a small, sustainable estate vineyard that would produce world-class Rhônes and Bordeauxs. By 2005, Jack Messina, the original founder, had named his 55-acre estate, Jada. Today, the Riboli Family, from Piedmont, Italy, continues this pioneering tradition and ambition to produce only the best organically farmed, estate wines.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJayden means “thankful one” in Hebraic and “jade” in Eastern cultures represents “perfection, constancy, and immortality”. These traits embody the values and purpose that go into making the Jada wines. When my family purchased this land 22 years ago, we had a “small, big dream” – to produce some of the most sought-after wines in the world and all from our estate vineyard. We never wanted to be the biggest, just to only use the best from our organically farmed vineyard in each Jada wine. That mission remains true today with the Riboli Family.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Terroir” is an overused term that can imply different things for different producers when we talk about expressing it in our wines. For Jada, however, it literally refers to the fact that we make wine from land we have lived on and worked on for over two decades. It’s a unique and special bond we have with our pocket of hills off the Santa Lucia Coastal Range in the Willow Creek District of Paso Robles and something we express in each of the Jada wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bond underscores our respect for the land and the wines we make.

He planned to work a few years, make some money, then go back home, buy a farm, marry his high school sweetheart and make some good wine... and not with his feet this time! It took Pierluigi 45 years before he returned with a clear vision of the high-quality wine he wanted to make: one of Italy's best, no less. In 1998 he returned to his native land and purchased some of the best lands in the region of Chianti Classico in the noted commune of Castelnuovo Berardenga. He constructed, from the roots up, this state-of-the-art winery and brought together the best technology and winemakers to bring to light wines that would be a true expression of this significant region. Pierluigi hired famed enologist Michel Rolland and Tuscan agronomist Andrea Paoletti, who put together a team that shares Pierluigi's vision - to make the best wines possible with one vitally unique ingredient - the terroir of Chianti Classico's southernmost commune: Castelnuovo Berardenga. A true marriage of tradition and modern technology. The belief in the \"best fruit produces the best wine\" is the fundamental principle of the Tolaini estate. High-density planting per hectare and low yield per plant is a proven strategy worldwide in producing excellent quality fruit. With up to 11,500 plants per hectare in the less hilly vineyards, drip irrigation for each plant, and two green harvests to pre-select the healthiest and most promising bunches on the vine, the Tolaini property produces the fruit of unsurpassable quality. This fruit is evident in every mouthful of the estate's four incredible red wines.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" style=\"margin: 0px 0px 11px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Verdana\" style=\"font-family: Verdana;\"\u003eRuggero Mazzilli is Tolaini's consulting agronomist and is based in Gaiole in Chianti where he is the owner and founder of SPEVIS (The Experimental Station for Sustainable Viticulture).

SPEVIS works with the best scientific research institutes to find new solutions to practical vineyard issues by following the principles of organic agriculture and respectful environmental practices. With Ruggero as part of the team, Tolaini will continue to cultivate the maximum expression of Chianti Classico terroir while farming organically and sustainably.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" style=\"margin: 0px 0px 11px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Verdana\" style=\"font-family: Verdana;\"\u003eLike the vineyards surrounding it, the winery at Tolaini Estate is an expression of both old and new. An optical sorter guarantees that only the healthy whole grapes make it into the fermentation vats. The best grapes from each harvest are fermented in open-top fermenters made of French Allier oak (12 units of 4500-liter capacity), a time-proven touch that increases the complexity of the wines. The generous array of tank sizes allows for individual parcels of grapes to be fermented and stored separately. These batches are kept apart through subsequent barrel aging in new French oak before blending. Today Luca D'Attoma is the consulting oenologist and his hand is apparent starting with the 2015 vintage of Tolaini.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" style=\"margin: 0px 0px 11px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Verdana\" style=\"font-family: Verdana;\"\u003eTolaini wines are known internationally for their impeccable quality and incredible taste.

Back in 1981, just a handful of winegrowers in this part of Napa Valley understood what a magical place Oakville was for growing Cabernet Sauvignon. Ren, our excited Realtor, happened to be one of them. We looked again, a little more closely, at this 121-acre stretch of valley floor dotted with majestic oaks and edged by rolling hills. We wanted a piece of land where we could grow Cabernet Sauvignon we could be proud of, like the beautiful Bordeaux wines we loved. Could we envision it … \u003cem\u003ehere\u003c\/em\u003e?

It was the perfect spot for growing Merlot and, as we later learned, Chardonnay. As CFO of the tech start-up Atari, my job had really taken off with their launch of the world’s first video console, and our dream to go all-in as family winegrowers became possible. After a year of selling our fruit to our neighbors, we decided to make a bit of Cabernet of our own. Nils Venge had been making wine at Villa Mt. Eden just next door for the past decade, so we asked him if he’d consider working with us.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNils walked us back into our vineyard and pointed to a couple of western blocks along Conn Creek in a little grove of trees. “That’s the Sweet Spot,” he said. “That can make us world-class wine.” We entrusted him with making our very first vintage, and he was right. In 1982, the precursor to our Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon proved to be remarkable.
