A Bumper Crop’s $5,000 Per Ton “Special” One common thread we’ve noticed among Napa’s best-known, cult-producing, 100-point scoring legends, is their obsession with walking the vineyards—even on days off. “I have to be there and see the vines all season long,” Helen Keplinger once told us. “It’s the reason limited production, high-quality wines are often…
Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate said of Paul Cluver: “Put simply, you just cannot go wrong with these South African gems.”So why do Cluver’s spectacular Chardonnays have next to no presence in the United States? That’s also simple. Most of Cluver’s Chardonnay, which the Advocate’s Neal Martin says he’d put up “against many a preening Burgundy,”…
Within the California wine industry, Tom Rinaldi is a legend. A member of a legendary class at UC Davis—his cohort included Randy Dunn, Continuum’s Tim Mondavi, and future Harlan winemaker Bob Levy—he took the job as Duckhorn’s first ever winemaker. Over his two decades there, he turned the winery into one of Napa’s most iconic…
Peter Michael’s 2018 Belle Côte Chardonnay Knights Valley belongs in the company of your Montrachets and Meursaults—it’s structured as finely as the best whites of Burgundy, and will age accordingly. Grown on the sunny but cool 1,500-1,700-foot Belle Côte site, it shows exquisite minerality from the rocky volcanic soils, which are planted with thirty-year-old See,…
Joe Nielsen knows a thing or two about making top-tier wines. A true wunderkind, he was named winemaker for Donelan wines before his 30th birthday—and proceeded to earn a 99- and 98-point score from the Wine Advocate in his very first vintage in charge. What he’s doing at Ram’s Gate has made industry insiders sit…
The 2018 Reynoso Russian River Valley Chardonnay might be the best affordable Chardonnay you’ll taste this year. Crafted from eight barrels that were destined for much more expensive bottles, it’s gorgeously composed and precise, with delicate fruit and intricate depths of jasmine, vanilla salt, and wet stones—a remarkable wine that echoes white Burgundy but has…
Koerner Rombauer was one of the legends of the Napa wine trade—a larger-than-life figure famed for his generosity and charisma, a man who simply knew great wine. Koerner was a friend to us dating back to our early days in the business, and we were extremely honored to work with the Rombauer estate this month…
You may not know Walter Schug, but you definitely know his wines. The German-born winemaking expert and founder behind today’s golden release was the mastermind behind America’s first official Bordeaux blend—yes, that’s Joseph Phelps Insignia—as well as the country’s first late-harvest Riesling, its first Syrah, and more. But being a Napa superstar wasn’t enough for…

The 2018 Shaw + Smith M3 is a 98-point Chardonnay and an incredible value for world-class Chardonnay. Listen closely and you’ll hear the sound of thousands of members furiously clicking their way to the checkout, because this is a staggering points-to-price ratio that we almost never see. Only two 2018 Chardonnays received a higher score…
Perched high up on Spring Mountain, Smith-Madrone practically defines “classic Napa.” The conditions on their high-altitude property produce remarkably powerful and intense Chardonnay. The vines, which were first planted in the early 1970s and are completely dry-farmed—a real rarity in Napa Valley—sink deep into the red volcanic soils, where they struggle in search of water…
Packed with all of the expressive intensity that has made Talley Vineyards our #1 under-$30 Chardonnay in Wine Access history, the alluring and energetic 2018 Bishop’s Peak Chardonnay delivers it all, marked by talent, prestige, and coastal finesse at a remarkable can’t-miss price: $14—42% off SRP. Now into three generations of farming, the Talley family…
With the number of winemakers, wine writers, and sommeliers walking around with clandestine bottles of this 2018 Vasse Felix Filius Chardonnay at last year’s Australia Decanted, the annual wine industry rendezvous that brings Australia’s finest to Lake Tahoe, you would have thought the marquee Margaret River estate was the event sponsor. Far from it—only 7%…
The sommelier at The French Laundry had just finished pouring a nearly-$1,000 bottle of Remoissenet Le Montrâchet for the four-top next to us, and was on his way over to our table with a bottle of the Vine Cliff Chardonnay Los Carneros—and a knowing smile on his face. We knew what that look meant: He…
It feels like our past offers with Xanadu have been building up to this point—years of momentum and Wine Access customer fandom resulting in today’s breakthrough exclusive and extraordinary value. We alone have been entrusted with the U.S. launch of this wine, with only 300 cases allocated for the entire country. That’s important because, at…
The only reason Yering Station Chardonnay isn’t more famous in the US is that it rarely surfaces here. It hardly makes it out the winery door before vanishing into the hands of diehard fans and Australian wine shops—especially when it bears a 95-point score and the mark of the 2018 vintage, a year Wine Advocate…
Albert Bichot’s Viré-Clessé is our biggest white-Burgundy hit of the last five years. This outstanding Chardonnay, which one of our members has dubbed, the “bargain of the century,” is awash in four- and five-star reviews from Wine Access white-wine lovers, who’ve sent us messages like “Can’t imagine a better balanced white Burgundy”—and that was BEFORE…
Burgundy’s venerated Côte d’Or is chock-full of sacred terroirs and marquee domaines. The Mâconnais, on the other hand, definitely is not. We see that as a VERY good thing, because when you buy a Chardonnay from the Mâconnais, which sits to the south of Burgundy’s most revered vineyard land, you’re not paying for a famous…
It isn’t every day that a 12-time Wine & Spirits Top 100 Winery that Wine Spectator called “one of California’s best producers of Chardonnay”—and a Demeter-certified biodynamic estate that’s a sparkling jewel in the Boisset Collection—calls us up with a deal this juicy. It’s a lush, citrusy, mailing-list-only Chardonnay from Green Valley that’s so scarce,…
When calls come in like the one we got last week from DeLoach, we’ve learned to move quickly. A high-caliber national restaurant group told the winery they couldn’t take their entire allocation of the 2019 Chardonnay O.F.S. Russian River Valley—and we started dancing a jig. It isn’t every day that a 12-time Wine & Spirits…
