“I’m floating on billowy, cotton-candy-like clouds,” is how Alexis described a rosé that we felt was “pure, precise, and energetic.” So much for all our years of education and experience writing wine descriptions. Our refreshing, plush, red-fruited, savory-spiced, and juicy 2018 Color & Sound Pinot Noir Rosé from the Napa side of Los Carneros is…
Have the times changed for value-driven Pinot Noir? Look no further than the fog-shrouded hills of Sonoma County to see just how high the “value” bar has been set, and how much it has risen over the last decade. It wasn’t so long ago that twenty bucks could regularly get you a great bottle of…
Elk, California. “Good wine stops time.” We were seated in the redwood-lined dining room of Michelin-starred Harbor House when JH, the acclaimed (and eccentric) winemaker behind the 2018 Concept Album Pinot Noir, spoke those words. With a view of the rugged Mendocino coast in front of us and the wildly aromatic, red-fruited 2018 in our…
Eduardo smacked his gums and whipped a dart at the board, closing out his 20s. “I’m not stopping until we get that wine,” he said. Two months and three dozen phone calls later he bagged one of the great values in all of California, the 2018 County Line Pinot Noir. While you won’t find “deliciousness”…
Our members snap up every offer of Cristom Vineyards Pinot Noir, and today, all that action pays off with access—because following this spring’s sell-out, we’ve nabbed one more allocation of this never-before-bottled Pinot Noir from one of the top producers in the country. We’re thrilled that Cristom chose us to debut their 2018 Willamette Valley…
10×100-point winemaker Paul Hobbs, who owns the Goldrock Ridge vineyard, has compared the site to “a rare diamond.” Perched dramatically on a windswept hilltop just five miles from the Pacific Ocean, Goldrock Ridge Vineyard stands as a rare jewel in the rugged terrain of northwest Sonoma County’s true Sonoma Coast. This coveted 42-acre property, soaring…
In Burgundy, geography is normally destiny. The vineyards that have earned their lofty Grand and Premier Cru designations over centuries usually yield the greatest wines—and usually command the highest prices. We’re always on the hunt for the wineries that elevate wines beyond the status of their soil—and we’ve quickly learned to count on Domaine de…
The Pinot Noirs of Fixin [FEE-zan] are some of the best deals in Burgundy, and whenever we see one on a wine list, we know two things: First, the sommelier knows what they’re doing and has dug deep in search of quality. Second—we’ll soon be drinking some. Yvan Dufouleur’s Premier Cru Clos du Chapitre vineyard…
If we could drink Grand Cru Burgundy every day, we would. But rarely do the stars align to bring us Grand Cru bottlings that deliver the complexity their labels denote, at a price that makes them a possibility instead of a dream. But like a fiery meteor that comes along once in a decade, the…
We go to France with a list of must-visit wineries and must-get wines—but our greatest discoveries are often made in between appointments, at out-of-the-way bistros. That’s where we were introduced, by an extremely knowledgeable server, to the 2018 Domaine Sauger Cheverny Vieilles Vignes. It’s an aromatic, ruby red wine that just about every sommelier we…
Burgundy prices are surging, with even village wines approaching and exceeding triple-digit prices. That’s what makes finding a red Burgundy from an elite producer at this price so rare. That’s why we worked quickly to snap up an allocation of the 2018 Thierry et Pascal Matrot Meursault Rouge for Wine Access members. From an incredible…
On our revelatory trip to Dragonette Cellars in Santa Barbara County, we fell deeply in love with their 2018 Dragonette Radian Vineyard Pinot Noir. This wine goes almost exclusively to their mailing list, other than a few select restaurants. There will be some sommeliers cursing our name when they receive their limited allocation this year,…
When Joe and Pat Campbell pulled up onto a gravel road in Oregon’s Coast Range in 1974, it’s unlikely they imagined they’d one day be making one of the greatest and most coveted Pinot Noirs in the state. More than four decades later, the winery they pioneered, Elk Cove Vineyards, produces a tight roster of…
“The thing about Etude Pinot Noir is, it’s just a joy to drink.” With the 94-point Grace Benoist Ranch giving off waves of juicy strawberry, black cherry, fine rose petal, and sandalwood in our glasses, no one had any objections to our Master Sommelier, Sur Lurcero’s appraisal. The tasting panel paused for a moment to…
We drove the two hours from San Francisco up Highway 101 to meet all-star winemaker and Hanzell Vineyards alum Ryan Hodgins in the sleepy town of Philo. From there, we hopped in Hodgins’ SUV and headed to the “deep end” of Anderson Valley. Hodgins wanted to give us a birds-eye-view of what made the elegant…
Our members, as well as our wine team, have serious love for the gold medal–winning Pinot Noirs from the Fog Crest vineyard. The Wine Access faithful who jumped to claim previous allocations of Laguna West have left raves in their wake, calling it “top-quality” and “a great value.” We’re thrilled winemaker Jérôme Chéry decided to…
“The 2018 Pinot Noir Fe Ciega Vineyard is extraordinary,” begins the glowing review from Antonio Galloni of Vinous. He gave this stunning wine 96 points, calling it “lights out” and commanding readers: “Don’t miss it.” Foxen only made a little over ten barrels of this Pinot, which is a shame, because we wish every Pinot…
Famously cold and rocky, the western-facing Gap’s Crown Vineyard peers over the mouth of the Petaluma Gap. Here, a daily dance of wind and fog allows the grapes to ripen more slowly than they do further inland, achieving striking balance and precision. There isn’t a French-style classification system for California’s Sonoma Coast, but if there…
The 2018 Gérard Raphet Chambolle Musigny Les Bussières Cuvée Unique is great Burgundy from a classic producer, and at a shockingly reasonable price. With its aromas of cherry, fresh raspberries, and baking spices hovering above the glass and paving the way for a fresh palate of summer berries and earth, this is a Pinot Noir…
The Petaluma Gap is one of the hottest Pinot Noir AVAs in Sonoma County. Sun Chase Vineyard is a primary reason why. Back in 2013, Alex Guarachi was so impressed by what wineries like Bevan were doing with this site, he had to buy the vineyard. It proved to be a very savvy move. Before…
