You might know Château Suduiraut as one of the most iconic producers of Sauternes, France’s luxuriously rich, botrytized sweet wine. A historic estate ranked Premier Cru Classé in the 1855 classification, Suduiraut is a neighbor to Bordeaux legend Château d’Yquem. What you may not know is that under talented winemaker Pierre Montégut, this august château…
“For the concentration, depth, and the price, there’s nothing like it in Napa.” That was Master Sommelier Sur Lucero’s verdict the first time he tasted Clay Shannon’s The David Red Blend. “You can print that,” he added. “This wine blew me away for the money.” Sur had just returned from an overnight visit to the…
One of Châteauneuf-du-Pape’s single greatest terroirs was unknown prior to 1900, and its first planters were scoffed at as fools. “You’ll never get your horses over those stones,” the neighbors muttered in 1905 as they watched Edmond Tacussel set out for a field covered with wobbly round river rocks, carrying a huge bundle of new…
We were gathered on the back patio of Napa’s Oxbow Market when VP of Wine Eduardo Dingler arrived with a glistening, pale pink bottle of the 2020 Commanderie de la Bargemone rosé. In just a few pours, summer had arrived. The 13th-century estate’s flagship bottling is highly anticipated at Wine Access, and the newly released…
The source estate behind today’s wine is famous for opulent, full bodied, highly coveted reds that have earned countless accolades. Their bottles have landed on Wine Spectator’s Top 100 multiple times and won a staggering TEN 100-point scores from Wine Advocate. The house métier is CLASSIC California Cabernets and Merlots—the kind you’re guaranteed to find…
Few Napa Valley wineries cause a shiver of envy and anticipation in collectors like Dalla Valle—and no bottle comes close to Maya, their First Growth–quality flagship. “It doesn’t get any better in 2020,” remarked Jeb Dunnuck about this version of Maya, unquestionably one of the wines of the vintage. Grown on Dalla Valle’s world-class terroir,…
Domaine du Grand Tinel was established in 1846 when Alexis Establet acquired the first vineyards. In the 1960s, Elie Jeune married into the family and helped make the estate what it is today. The Jeune siblings—Christophe, Béatrice, and Isabelle—continue to make Châteauneuf-du-Pape just as their father did. Painstaking care is taken in the vineyards and…
“In Southern Rhône’s Châteauneuf-du-Pape, there is one vineyard that stands literally and figuratively above the rest,” begins Wine Spectator’s summation of their just-crowned #7 Wine of the Year, the 2020 Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe Châteauneuf-du-Pape. “The high-altitude plateau of La Crau.” No one makes this precious piece of land shine brighter than Vieux Télégraphe’s sixth-generation…
Grab a bottle with an iconic label, you’ll likely pay an icon-level price. Grab a bottle with an icon behind the label, and you might just find a steal that will make you want to pack away multiple cases. Need an example? Check out the Domaine La Grangette Saint Joseph Côtes du Rhône from Alain…
Los Angeles, 2007 The scene: Tom Colicchio’s sleek Craft restaurant in Century City (may that location RIP). Six of us were sharing a table so crowded with bottles that there was barely room for chef Matt Accarrino’s dry-aged NY strip, heritage rack of pork, and braised morels. Among the wines were a late-1990s Joseph Phelps…
Guigal’s “La La” Côte-Rôties represent the pinnacle of winegrowing and winemaking. Iconic, small-production, single-vineyard wines that have earned 30 perfect scores from Wine Advocate—as many as Petrus, Lafite-Rothschild, Haut-Brion, and Mouton-Rothschild together—Guigal’s nearly immortal “La Las” go beyond gilding a collection. They deliver a transcendent and moving experience, which is why we do our best…
“The grapes don’t know what county they’re in.” We hear this all the time, especially from vintners whose domaines lie just outside high-dollar regions—regions that these vintners know they compete with very closely. We’ve been around long enough to know that it’s not all about prestigious place-names. We’ve been blown away by Napa-level Cabs from…
Icon. Iconoclast. Gaja is one of the most remarkable producers in the world of wine—a true revolutionary who upended conventional wisdom in Piedmont and then became perhaps the most important winery in Italy. Angelo Gaja’s vision for producing powerful wines with plush fruit—in contrast to the stark, tannic bottles of the time—launched the modern revolution…
Portugal never ceases to shock us with the amount of pleasure its reds can pack in a bottle. And at Decanter’s 2021World Wine Awards, no Portuguese red wine scored higher than this 97-point, Platinum Medal–winning underdog: the 2020 Guarda Rios Red Blend, from the sunny Alentejo region. Smooth and harmonious, it’s led by an aromatic…
Opportunities to get a piece of a surging region before the world rushes in are rare, especially in France. The 2020 Les Terrasses De L’Aygues Cairanne Rhone Valley is exactly that—a satiny red from a standout estate in one of the Southern Rhône’s need-to-know crus. This sultry and harmonious red, grown on hillside terraces, shows…
Crafted by the 40X 100-point winemaker Robert Parker dubbed “a young genius,” Michel Chapoutier’s 2020 Bila-Haut Rosé is more than a flawless expression of France’s sea-sprayed paradise—it’s a wine that conventional wisdom says is too good to be true. A marriage of fascinating complexity and easy enjoyment, this is the kind of bottle that would…
We have a Piemontese parish priest to thank for this wine. In the 1970s, Don Giacomo Cauda took an interest in the ten rows of Ruchè growing in a vineyard that supported his parish—and was captivated by the soaring aromatics it produced in his red wines. At the time, Ruchè plantings were on the decline—for…
No one else in the world does explosive, high-octane, mega-star reds with the maximalist genius of Dave Phinney. The author of The Prisoner, one of Napa’s most iconic bottlings, he’s the man with the “Midas touch,” in the words of Robert Parker, who’s raved over Dave’s “unparalleled blending talents.” Zinfandel put Phinney on the map,…
When world-renowned wine critic Antonio Galloni sat down with us for the Wine Access Unfiltered podcast, he revealed one of the secrets he’s learned to finding amazing wines at great values: “Buy the least expensive wines from the best producers,” he said, because “you know that every wine they make is going to be somewhere…
We didn’t arrive at Patrick Lesec’s place, just outside the village of Châteauneuf–du-Pape, by accident. We were told to go straight to his door by Richard Phoenix, buyer for Napa’s Angèle restaurant, the go-to venue for wine industry power-lunches. Richard had fallen hard for two Lesec wines and asked us if we could import a…
