The first time you see Sorenson vineyard, on Howell Mountain, you realize how amazing it is that it was originally planted in the 1870s. When the Swiss-Italian immigrants first put vines in the earth there, they didn’t have the tools that modern vintners depend on. There were no giant backhoes to rip through the rocky…
Bordeaux grapes thrive in Sangiovese’s terroir—and the question of whether Tuscany’s native Sangiovese thrives in Cabernet country is answered in the exquisite, perfectly aged 2016 Buselli Il Beone red wine from Oakville. It’s a powerful, plush, and sumptuous red wine built on Cabernet, elevated by a touch of Sangiovese, and it’s one of the best…
Crafted by Food & Wine Winemaker of the Year Helen Keplinger, Carte Blanche showcases the 100-point talent behind cult Napa labels like Bryant Family Vineyard and Grace Family, as well as the pedigree of proprietor Nicholas Allen: His family’s company, Domaine Clarence Dillon, owns the revered Bordeaux Châteaux Haut-Brion and La Mission Haut-Brion—for whose wines…
You may not be familiar with Chaix Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa’s hallowed Rutherford appellation. That’s because their grapes usually hide under other labels, including: Joseph Phelps Insignia BV Private Reserve Buoncristiani Orin Swift Each one of these prestigious wines is well worth its triple-digit price tag, which shows the kind of brilliance Chaix can deliver. Their own…

We now have the rare privilege of offering this triple-99-point masterpiece—perfectly cellared and with perfect provenance—in EXTREMELY rare half-bottles. Sourcing impeccable examples of this spectacular wine can be difficult. Enough time…
There’s just one Napa winery that can claim to have helped catapult California from obscurity to fame with its FIRST vintage: Clos du Val. Since its debut 1972 release—the one featured in the fabled Judgment of Paris tasting—Clos du Val has been an icon of Napa Valley Cabernet, and their 2016 Hirondelle Vineyard does them…
Opus One, Robert Mondavi, Cardinale, Lokoya, Verité, and Quintessa. The producers on winemaker Charles Thomas’s résumé are the marquee names of California Cabernet, and his role at these powerhouses has earned him unqualified praise from the world’s most influential critics: Robert Parker calls Thomas “brilliant” and a “star winemaker,” and Wine Spectator simply calls him…
When the 2016 Viña Cousiño-Macul Dama de Plata Cabernet Sauvignon wound up as a ringer in our blind lineup of $30-$40 Napa Cabernets at a recent Friday tasting, we all assumed it must be the priciest wine on the table by far. Sure, this mystery Cabernet had all the plummy, cassis-drenched, dark cherry fruit character…
The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville is a gorgeous, deep and dark snapshot of the rugged hillside vineyards of the Dalla Valle estate. Showing a highly attractive nose of macerated black fruit, black forest cherry, graphite, tobacco, mocha, and violets, it’s full-bodied, with a cut, tension, and structure that will allow the wine to evolve for…
Simply put, this is the wine that make Dana Estates what it is. And while our relationship with Dana, coupled with our members’ unprecedented support for the Onda, has secured us this allocation from the stellar 2016 vintage, it hasn’t gotten us much: Our share is so small, we’re only reaching out to the top 1% of Cabernet-buying…

For our team here at Wine Access, it’s our passion, our mission, and our job. Today, we’re ready to prove Washington Cabernet can and does go head-to-head with Napa Valley Cabs, for a…
Every cellar should include at least one of Diamond Creek’s legendary Cabernet expressions. It may be a bold statement, but it’s one that few critics or California collectors would disagree with. Founded in 1968, Diamond Creek was one of the first Napa Valley wineries to emphasize individual terroirs with vineyard-designate Cabernets—and the very first to…
“If I could give more than 100 for this one, I would.” Dominus has stood at the pinnacle of Bordeaux-style winemaking in California for nearly 40 years, and no bottle has ever stood taller than the 2016. It is one of the most stirring California wines we’ve ever tasted, and in the estimation of Robert…
PRESS restaurant in St. Helena is basically a Napa Valley Cabernet museum, so when I sip a martini at the bar—while some patrons chat and others people-watch—I ogle wine labels. I might even stroll past a table to catch a glimpse of a vintage I can’t make out from across the room. There’s no wine…
One of our good friends in Napa is among the top wine journalists in the trade, with bylines in every major publication you can think of. His palate is impeccable, his charm infectious, and his Rolodex of blue-chip connections in the wine industry deeply enviable. The other week he sent us an unmarked bottle of…
Before Kronos, before Martha’s, before To Kalon, there was Eisele Vineyard. When we talk about important Napa parcels, we always start here, just outside of Calistoga. Eisele Vineyard epitomizes why single-vineyard wines exist, because it offers a unique balance of elegance and power that stands alone in this part of the Valley for quality. It’s…
The 2016 Familiar Air is a beauty from the talent of 100-point winemaker Benoit Touquette, who’s also the genius behind the wines of Realm, Fait-Main, and others. This 96-point release is a full-bodied, ripe, sexy Cabernet that has powerful notes of ground herbs, graphite, earth, and both blackberries and cassis. As Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon…
By any measure, Faustini’s 2016 Cabernet easily merits its $145 winery price. Start with the vintage: 2016 is one of those years in Napa that is going down in wine lovers’ folklore—think 1982 in Bordeaux or 2005 in Burgundy. Wine Spectator thought it was the best vintage since the legendary 1997, and it earned Napa’s…
Andy and Annie are stewards and advocates for their home appellation of Coombsville, which is historic, but newly ascendant in the minds of most Napa Valley wine lovers. The AVA boasts gravelly soils and a cooling closeness to San Pablo Bay, and the two combine to lend the wines a savory Old World quality—one that…
