The 2014 Orin Swift Papillon earned 94 points from Robert Parker, who called it a “full-bodied, unctuously textured, deep, rich pure wine to drink over the next 10-15+ years.” Phinney — the founder and winemaker of Orin Swift and the original creator of “The Prisoner” — is one of the great winemaking talents of our…
A Curveball from an Underground Warehouse Tasting in our Nation’s Capital The invitation from an old friend now living in Washington DC was too good to pass up. An opportunity to taste Super Tuscans with elite collectors boasting cellars full of the world’s top wines. A short hop down the Northeast Corridor to our nation’s…
In the wine world, generally pricing has to do with those traditional economic factors, quality and scarcity. But every once in a while, there’s a blip in that formula, an instance where a wine somehow flies under the radar and its quality is way out of sync with its price. We are constantly on the…
A French Secret No More Bordeaux lovers, we’re letting you in on a French local’s secret. This 2015 Château La Garde Pessac-Léognan is normally snatched up by the Bordelais and British enthusiasts, but thanks to our relationship with Château La Garde, we are able to offer an exclusive allocation at $34 a bottle, a ripe…
From the extraordinary 2015 vintage that Wine Spectator hails as “easily the best vintage since 2010,” the 2015 Château Malescasse Haut-Médoc is a chewy black-and-red-fruited Haut-Médoc stunner. James Suckling gave it laudatory 93-94 points, praising its “wonderful richness and depth” and how it “goes on for minutes.” Antonio Galloni of Vinous found it a “wine…
In a normal year, we might make four trips to Bordeaux in hopes of finding just one wine just like this one. A pristine under-the-radar gem, the 2015 Château Moulin de la Bridane sits among Saint-Julien’s many classified growths, and delivers Médoc elegance at a fantastic price. Situated on steep gravel slopes, the vineyards border…

In an A-list lineup of 2015 Super Tuscans — Sassicaia, Solaia, Tua Rita Redigaffi, Masseto, and Ornellaia — Podere Sapaio “Sapaio” Toscana IGT is right at home, despite one glaring difference: cost. We’ll go out on a limb and say that Podere Sapaio is the greatest value source of world-class Super Tuscans today. Why? As Robert…
Today’s 2016 Château Lassègue Les Cadrans de Lassègue—a Right Bank blend from a spectacular vintage—is one of the best Bordeaux values we’ve seen in a long time. Last year, we sold not one but two 200-case allocations in less than 24 hours each, and this 2016 is every bit as delicious as its predecessor. Dripping…
Harlan Estate began with a grand vision and lofty goal—to produce a California First Growth from their Oakville terroir—and since the estate’s founding in 1984, they have humbled that original ambition. Robert Parker has since put it in plain terms, saying: “Harlan Estate might be the single most profound red wine made not just in…
Delivering the kind of classic, powerful Bordeaux experience that used to belong solely to expensive appellations like Graves or St.-Émilion, the 2018 Château du Grava Bordeaux Supérieur is the kind of wine we drive all over France to find. And when we do find a wine like this one—and learn that it has NEVER, ever…
Domaine de la Solitude’s 94-point 2018 offers a rare chance to drink a top-quality red from Pessac-Léognan—the tiny corner of Bordeaux’s Left Bank best known for $600 icon Haut-Brion—without the price tag of its contemporaries. With the soaring aromatics and exceptional elegance that are hallmarks of Pessac’s best wines, it’s a standout even in this…
Pritchard Hill is the hottest section of Napa right now, with names like Bryant, Colgin, Continuum, and Chappellet all making the greatest wines in their histories. And while we can’t say much about the Pritchard Hill pedigree of the winemaker behind today’s Carl Roy East Side Cuvée, we can say that he’s intimately familiar with…
