We’ve been enraptured by Vineyard 29’s extravagantly ripe Aida Estate Vineyard Cabernet for years—but the elites of Hollywood and Silicon Valley always got to this tiny-production cult favorite before we did. In fact, the first time we tasted this 2016 was about a year ago, when we helped a loyal customer secure a case. We…
“Why mess with perfection?” asked Wolfe Grade’s 100-point winemaker to his enterprising “pal.” A couple of years later, the answer to that question is how we ended up with today’s rich, dense, and supremely balanced 2016 Wolfe Grade Cabernet Sauvignon. The flagship Cabernet from this estate earned 100 points in 2016, with critic Jeb Dunnuck…
Coombsville has become one of the most in-demand appellations in Napa, and Ackerman Family Vineyard has some of the most coveted real estate in the area. Just north of Ackerman is a Big Red Machine–level lineup of sites: From the two vineyards Far Niente owns in the area, it’s not far to Realm’s Farella estate…
Often, our best discoveries abroad are wines that are well-known in their home countries, but somehow remain elusive on American soil. It always surprises us that this can still happen in a modern age, but time and again, the results prove there’s no substitute for travel. Altair’s Sideral is a prime example: A California-meets-Bordeaux Cabernet…
Anderson Conn Valley’s Napa Valley Cab Coup You heard it here first: The Anderson Conn Valley 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon may be the best Cabernet Sauvignon from Todd Anderson in his 30-year history. If you love Napa Cab as much as we do, don’t hesitate on this one. We discovered this luxurious new release deep in…
Arrow&Branch’s inaugural Vine Hill Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon is an absolute blockbuster of a Cabernet that expresses one of the most in-demand sites in Napa Valley. Sourced from a single block of Cabernet at VHR, it’s ushered to the bottle by winemaker Jennifer WIlliams, who learned under Rosemary Cakebread and Vine Hill Ranch’s own Françoise Peschon. …
One Wine Access member thrilled with the last vintage of Band of Vintners put it this way: It “tastes like a $100 Cab for sure.” This is the kind of Napa Cabernet you’ll want to blind-test a friend or partner on and make them guess the price. The nose alone would seem to place it…
Napa Valley cult Cabernets make up an exclusive club. Russell Bevan is the crasher. The 2017 Bevan Cellars Tench Vineyard The Calixtro Oakville is the one-of-a-kind winemaker’s latest Cabernet to shoulder aside some of the biggest names in Napa Valley. Sourced from one exquisite half-acre in the Oakville terroir that Screaming Eagle calls home, The…
From a single, tiny block in Casa Silva’s iconic Los Lingues vineyard, the S38 bottling represents an outrageous value in premium Cabernet. Chile’s top wines have always been some of the best-kept secrets in the wine world, but this might take the cake. Hardly any makes it to the US, making it as rare as…
The 2017 Casas del Bosque Gran Reserva, from the winery twice named “Chilean Wine Producer of the Year” by the International Wine & Spirits Competition in London, is overflowing with sweet oak spice, licorice, and blackberry, and richly textured with supple tannins. Maipo Valley is often called the Bordeaux of South America—“the source for the…
Tasting a First Growth Bordeaux is an enlightening experience. It’s an encounter with some of the best, most luxurious, most universally celebrated wine in existence, and the kind of brilliance that estates worldwide aspire to reach. Today’s 2017 Château Margaux is the best of the best: The highest-scoring First Growth of the vintage. Pour a…
Thanks to our longstanding Napa Valley relationships, we are well-positioned when winemakers need to move their wine fast. That’s how we ended up with this crazy deal on the velvety, beautifully layered 2017 Claire Griffin Cabernet Sauvignon from an incredible source on Napa Valley’s famed Pritchard Hill. Well worth every penny of its $100 SRP,…
It’s been an epic rise for Cliff Lede Vineyards: Ever since moving into the world-class Cabernet neighborhood of Stags Leap two decades ago, it’s become “one of the best-run wineries in Napa Valley,” according to Robert Parker, and one that’s “surged into the top hierarchy of quality in a relatively short period of time.” Over…
Of all the Napa Valley winery origin stories we know, Dakota Shy is one of our favorites. That’s because of the path of our friend Todd Newman, who in a decade has gone from “solid Applebee’s waiter” (as he puts it) to proprietor of a Napa Valley winery that not only landed in Wine Spectator’s Top…
Philippe Melka is the king of beautifully crafted collector’s-item Cabernets from Napa Valley. And if you want to partake in the wines he makes for Vice Versa, Roy Estate, and Fairchild, the price of admission is usually $200+. That’s why scoring the 2017 Dalecio Cabernet was such a coup. Now six years after the vintage,…
Every cellar should include at least one of Diamond Creek’s legendary Cabernet expressions: Red Rock Terrace, Gravelly Meadow, and Volcanic Hill. It may be a bold statement, but it’s one that few critics or California collectors would disagree with. Founded in 1968, Diamond Creek was one of the first Napa Valley wineries to emphasize individual…
Every cellar should include at least one of Diamond Creek’s legendary Cabernet expressions. It may be a bold statement, but it’s one that few critics or California collectors would disagree with. Founded in 1968, Diamond Creek was one of the first Napa Valley wineries to emphasize individual terroirs with vineyard-designate Cabernets—and the very first to…
There are few wines more iconic in Napa than Dunn’s Howell Mountain Cabernet. Randy Dunn put the now-coveted Howell Mountain appellation on the map by producing some of Napa’s greatest wines throughout the 80s and 90s—and his 2017 edition shows that he’s making his best bottles today. This regal and ageworthy 97-point 2017 continues the…
Before Kronos, before Martha’s, before To Kalon, there was Eisele Vineyard. When we talk about important Napa parcels, we always start here, just outside of Calistoga. Eisele Vineyard epitomizes why single-vineyard wines exist, because it offers a unique balance of elegance and power and stands alone in this part of the Valley for quality. It’s…
Beckstoffer Las Piedras was the first vineyard in what is now the St. Helena AVA—it was first planted to wine grapes by Henry Amstutz, whose colleague Henry Pallet established one of Napa Valley’s first wineries in 1860. Beckstoffer Vineyards purchased the site in 1983. In the 2017 Fait-Main Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Las Piedras, the historic…
