Step inside the historic Caldwell Vineyards cellars with winemaker Marc Gagnon and sommelier Michael Kennedy for an exclusive look at the Gagnon-Kennedy portfolio. This post is a comprehensive guide to their celebrated single-vineyard Cabernet Sauvignons, offering detailed tasting notes and a deep dive into the winemaking philosophy that defines their style. Discover the unique story of each wine, from the velvety blend of their Napa Valley Cuvée to the powerful, terroir-driven expressions of sites like Beckstoffer Georges III, Old Federal Block, and the legendary Monte Rosso Vineyard.

In the heart of Grinzane Cavour, a village steeped in Barolo history, lies a hidden gem: the Bruna Grimaldi winery. More than just a producer, this is a family home and a multigenerational project dedicated to slow, thoughtful evolution. From their traditional, low-intervention approach in the cellar to a portfolio of soulful, authentic wines, the Grimaldis craft pure expressions of their unique Piedmontese terroir. Dive into a detailed look at each wine in their lineup, from vibrant Arneis to the powerful single-cru Barolos.

All of the wines follow a minimal intervention protocol, with organic farming, spontaneous fermentation, and the use of large, neutral wood or concrete to guide the aging process without imparting a heavy oak flavor. This approach, which focuses on elegance and finesse over power, allows the unique characteristics of each vineyard, or contrada, to shine through. From the entry-level blends to the single-vineyard expressions, each wine is a distinct taste of the mountain's complex, volcanic terroir.
