“Fascinating…”

“Smolders…”

“Silky…”

Man, we are BUSTIN’!! The long-awaited EPIC ‘21s from Tassi are trickling in – WHAT a vintage! *** Did you SEE our price??!! That is $66 OFF!!! *** For Brunello aficionados, 2021 has been called a “vertical masterpiece”, “classic”, “structured, ageable, harmonious” vintage with “tension and effortless elegance” and much, much more (Google it). This is THE vintage to have in your cellar for drinking over the next decade. WOW!!!

Fabio Tassi (the unofficial mayor of Montalcino, practically, with a brilliant wine shop INSIDE the legendary castle fortress that dominates the village) has it all. This Renaissance man owns killer vineyard plots all over the Montalcino area (which allows him to blend cooler and warmer sites to make the best blends for each wine), two wildly charming and classic restaurants, three wine shops, organic farms teeming with beehives, and a wickedly talented team…jeez, it’s a Roman fever-dream! We LOVE his combination of concrete and large barrique aging, too – combine that with the primo sites and you have the WHOLE PACKAGE. So, so good this year – Tassi always SLAYS, but ‘21 is next-level!!

Back over here in Napa, well, we’re just near tears. A SOARING, hugely impressive Brunello that balances grace, power, and complexity just as the vintage overall promises. Just...HOW? It’s delicate! It’s ROARING with fruit (our beloved orange notes, freshly crushed ripe blackberry, sweet farmers-market-ripe cherries…somehow deep blue AND fresh red)! It has melon-twisting subtle notes of herb sachets, mint, truffle, bay…well, you’ll have to hit your spice drawer to capture it all. CHERRY ON TOP is the beautifully balanced tension between power and graceful texture and mouthfeel – it just feels like a tightrope of mastery of the craft. We’re talking intellectually challenging, yet whoppingly approachable, with tons of long-term potential, like the best of the best can be. AH! Amazing!

We are SO lucky to have this, as will you feel!! While it lasts!!

"Fascinating aromas of red cherries, orange blossoms and lilacs, with fresh undertones of mushrooms and forest floor. Medium-bodied with silky tannins that caress your palate and give a graceful impression of the vintage. So attractive now that you’ll want to drink it right away, but it will improve beautifully with age. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold." -James Suckling

"The organic Tassi 2021 Brunello di Montalcino highlights freshness with purple fruit tones, blue flowers and subtle minty accents carried over silky tannins. Within the Tassi range, this village Brunello sits a step above the Rosso di Montalcino Greppino 193 and below the single-vineyard wines, offering clarity, balance and slightly more power derived from maceration times lasting 20 days. Fermented in a combination of cement and oak before two years of aging in botti, the wine blends fruit from multiple parcels to deliver an accessible, mid-weight expression, produced in 12,800 bottles." -Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

"The 2021 Brunello Di Montalcino pours a bright red hue and is expressive on the nose, with ripe cherries, pressed flowers, fresh sage, and licorice. The palate is medium-bodied and vibrant, with ripe tannins, refreshing acidity, and a purity of fruit that carries through the finish. It has a good deal of youthful primary fruit at this early stage and should improve nicely as it develops over the coming 15 years. Drink 2027-2042." -Jeb Dunnuck

"Dried herbs and cedar spice box complicate mocha-infused black cherries as the 2021 Brunello di Montalcino smolders up from the glass. It's soothingly round with vividly ripe red and blue fruits supported by cooling acidity. while hints of dark chocolate inform the close. Fine-grained tannins frame the finish as nuances of citrus and mocha linger long. It's radiant and beautifully." -Vinous
