We first encountered the 2017 Farrimond Hitch after it was freshly bottled, and we instantly marked it as one we hoped to bring to Wine Access members. Through a series of serendipitous events (plus some crossed fingers and wood-knocking) we were able to secure a few cases. They all sold like hotcakes—hotcakes that racked up…
Estate-grown, hailing from some of the most renowned real estate in Napa Valley, and sporting a 95-point score from Vinous, the 2017 Frog’s Leap Estate Grown Cabernet Sauvignon Rutherford has a résumé that more than justifies a triple-digit sticker price. That’s why Antonio Galloni, in his glowing review of the “gorgeous” 2017, called Frog’s Leap…
750 miles and at least $25 per bottle. That’s what separates Napa from Washington’s Columbia Valley, the source of the 2017 Gard Vintners The Don—a Cabernet-based red we pegged at about $50 as our first long-lingering sip faded. But once Eduardo revealed it was from Washington State, we adjusted our estimate down, settling on $30….
This morning, we shared our story of visiting the man behind Hidden Ridge—and the Cabernet that resulted promptly disappeared. While there isn’t more Piece of Work Cabernet, we refuse to leave Wine Access members hanging—and Timothy isn’t our only connection to premier Cabernet Sauvignon at an insane value price. Let us present Grawlix, a seductively…
We were in Portugal this past September, glued to views of the Douro Valley from the back, middle seat of a BMW, when one text message plucked us out of that European serenity and turned our thoughts toward Napa’s prized Howell Mountain. Halpin had messaged us with a formal interview request. He’d landed on “the…
Winemaker Paul Segas wouldn’t reveal the famous Howell Mountain vineyard site responsible for this stunning release—he had to sign an airtight NDA to get these grapes—but he did divulge that the vineyard’s estate wines typically go for $200-$300 a pop, which was our cue to pounce. Enter the 2017 Highlands Howell Mountain Reserve. Already a…
There’s the 100-point 2019 BV Georges de Latour Private Reserve, James Suckling’s Wine of the Year. There’s the $140 2016 Groth Reserve Cabernet. And there’s the $300+ 2018 Staglin, which boasts 98+ points from Jeb Dunnuck. These are the kinds of Cabernets that hold Wine Access member-ratings at or above 4.5 (out of 5) stars….
In a room full of some of Washington’s top wines, Tom swirled, sniffed, then sipped one final Cabernet. The wine was so good—by far the best Cabernet he’d had all day—that he was sure he’d found his man. “If this is what you can do for less than $30,” Tom said to the winemaker he’d…

Mountain Cabernets are some of the most sought-after wines coming out of Napa today, packing as much full-throttle power as you’ll find anywhere, yet restrained by big alpine structure and scintillating acidity. These aren’t delicate, shy wines—squeezed from vines that have had to struggle to produce every last drop, they burst with energy and character,…
La Pelle is already being touted as a must-have Napa Cab, and—since it’s made by Wine Enthusiast’s 40 Under 40 winemaking master, Maayan Koschitzky and iconic vineyard manager, Miguel Luna—its cult status is destined to follow soon. Because of our personal relationship with Maayan and Miguel, we were able to snag their last few bottles for…
Leeuwin Estate’s Art Series Cabernet might be the most underpriced great wine in the world. Our Head of Wine, Vanessa Conlin, calls Leeuwin “the benchmark for Australian Cabernet,” while James Suckling has invoked the First Growths, calling Leeuwin the “Mouton Rothschild of Australia.” This Cabernet has it all: complexity, ageworthiness, and a voice that speaks…
Almost 2,000 feet up in the Mayacamas Range, Diamond Mountain District is the most rugged and sparsely planted appellation in all of Napa Valley. “Intense yet subtle,” the 95-point 2017 Martin Ray Diamond Mountain District Cabernet Sauvignon stands among the crown jewels of this bold slice of Napa terroir. Dark and profound like midnight, the…
Martin Ray was a pioneer of California viticulture, right alongside legends like Don Chappellet and Robert Mondavi. Mentored by the legendary Paul Masson, he crafted single-varietal wines from 1943-1972 at what is today the Mount Eden winery in the Santa Cruz Mountains. His wines were known far and wide and were enjoyed by Presidents Johnson…
Is there a better-known, more lauded, more accomplished consulting enologist in the world than Michel Rolland? In the Napa Valley, are there any more meticulously tended, more highly regarded vineyards than Andy Beckstoffer’s To Kalon, Missouri Hopper, and Dr. Crane? The answer to both questions is NO, which means that there may be no more…
The 2017 O’Shaughnessy Cabernet Sauvignon boasts some of the most pristine vineyard pedigree we can imagine in a bottle bearing the Napa Valley label. Sourced from O’Shaughnessy’s sites in Oakville and on Howell Mountain and Mount Veeder, it’s a blockbuster Napa Valley Cab that bears the winery’s high-altitude signature—the same you’d expect from their $105+…
Lake County, just north of Napa, is California’s next great Cabernet destination. Andy Beckstoffer is making a major play there—yes, the same Beckstoffer that farms the To Kalon and George III vineyards—and big names up and down the state are exploring the rocky, rugged terrain. But Clay Shannon saw that potential over 25 years ago—and…
Pascual Toso’s Barrancas Cabernet has been our South American white whale. Made by 100-point Napa legend Paul Hobbs, known for his work at Opus One and $500 single-vineyard Cabernet under his own label, from one of the most impressive vineyards in Mendoza, it’s a stunning bottle of wine with intrigue and power, made doubly impressive…
We met our friend Timothy at his house in Oakville for what we thought was a casual Wednesday night potluck. “Before you look at any of the fancy stuff on the table over there,” Timothy said, waving at the table covered in top-scoring bottles that his friends (some of Napa’s top winemakers) had brought for…
This is the couple’s second vintage from the Ghost Block Vineyard in Yountville. The plot is unique for its volcanic soils, which were once situated on top of the Vaca Mountain range. Around 8 million years ago, a portion of the mountain peak fell into the center of the valley creating a hill of rarely…
