The 1960s and 70s saw the rise of the very first cult Napa Cabernet, a wine that remains one of the most collected American bottles in the world. The iconic Oakville estate behind the 2020 Big Ticket Cabernet supplied most of the grapes for it—and since then, it’s been a source for the likes of…
Just over a decade ago, Will Harlan scored a few barrels of Cabernet from the younger vines at his family’s incomparable estates. He blended a wine to share with his friends, packaging some of the most precious Cabernet in Napa Valley in nondescript bottles. Finally, in 2008, Will’s wine eked its way outside his inner…
NO. Even if that’s the one it is, I wouldn’t tell you.” That’s how the information-extraction waltz began, outside Fatted Calf with our longtime colleague David, interrogating him between sips of his 2020 Turk Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Cliffhanger. “This is gorgeous,” we said. The wine was full of supple and cool black fruit like plum…
When Xanadu’s 2016 Cabernet won the Jimmy Watson Trophy—one of Australia’s most prestigious wine awards, akin to being named Wine Spectator’s #1 Wine in the US—it shot up the most-wanted lists of every collector Down Under. Bottles flew off the shelves. It was tough to find their Cabs in Australian wine shops, let alone in…
Phil Titus is a Napa Valley legend. But even most insiders don’t know about the wines he makes for the under-the-radar Acumen label. The small producer is devoted to making intense mountain-grown Cabernet entirely from their fantastic estate vineyard—which is farmed by rockstar vineyard manager Mike Wolf, who also boasts clients like Scarecrow, Vine Hill…
It’s always funny to us to see how one of Napa’s most important winemakers has kept such a low profile all these years. Having made 1991 Dominus—one of the most iconic and hard-to-find wines in Napa Valley, and a personal favorite of ours—Chris is up there with the all-time greats in the region, yet he…
When vintner Alejandro Bulgheroni arrived in Napa Valley, he made moves to match his grand aspirations. He purchased 14 prime acres in St. Helena from Bill Harlan and hired two of the most lauded winemakers: Philippe Melka and Michel Rolland. The gambit paid off in a wine that stands with the very best in the…
Tony Biagi was Antonio Galloni’s Vinous Winemaker of the Year in 2020. His résumé is packed with some of the most famous names in Napa Cabernet—including Plumpjack, Cade, Neal, Sinegal, and Hourglass—and he recently replaced former Screaming Eagle winemaker Andy Erickson as winemaker at To Kalon Vineyard Company, whose prized bottles don’t dip below $200. …
The most important critic to us is the Wine Access member. And few wineries we feature generate more praise from our readers than Courtney Benham’s Angeline Vineyards. The last time we offered Angeline’s Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, the accolades came nonstop: “Best cab at this price I have ever had—an amazing bargain!” said one member. “An…
In 1978, Piero Antinori planted 12 hectares of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and a dash of magical Tuscan Sangiovese on a southeastern facing parcel in the Tuscan Maremma. Since then, Antinori’s Solaia has stood tall next to Sassicaia and Ornellaia in the hierarchy of Italy’s greatest reds—and the 2021 is one of the greatest ever. …
Jesse Katz’s 2021 Aperture Cellars Del Rio Vineyard Cabernet sits at the pinnacle of California Cabernet. Jeb Dunnuck called it an “intense and complete wine with a mountainous feel,” and his 100pt score put it ALONE at the top of the Sonoma Cabernet vintage. The wine’s big-money brethren over in Napa Valley, names like Schrader…
Savvy Wine Access members will recognize something we call the “under-the-counter” pour. It’s a wine so delicious for the money, all it does in a tasting lineup is block sales of much more expensive wines. When you’re pushing $195 Cabernets, any good capitalist ain’t gonna pour them alongside the $40 one—that has to stay under…
We went to bid on some of the most precious wines in the world. We left with something far more valuable—and important. We first met the NBA’s Josh Hart in July 2019, at Napa Valley’s WineaPAWlooza auction. Bonding with Josh over Bordeaux, we were struck by how knowledgeable and curious he was about wine, which…
You will not find a better bargain on a top-scoring Napa Cab than today’s 2021 Beau Vigne Cabernet Sauvignon Juliet. Sourced largely from Rutherford’s world-famous Georges III Vineyard in one of the great Napa vintages this century, it earned a staggering 97 points and Cellar Selection honors from Wine Enthusiast, placing it at the very…
Conceived by Napa pioneer André Tchelistcheff and named after BV founder Georges de Latour, the first vintage (the 1936) was released way back in 1940. Since then, Georges de Latour has become one of the most celebrated wines in the world—and it’s just as monumental now as it ever was. Spectator just declared “BV is…
Caymus is the definitive Cab-lover’s Cab. It’s a must-have steakhouse- and cellar-staple from the Wagner family, whose consistently delicious Cabernets have made many appearances on Wine Spectator’s Top 100! The incredible 2021 Cabernet comes in a special one-liter bottling—perfect for a wine whose richness and suppleness practically beg you to take another sip, then another,…
“Some people might call me jaded,” began Chad. “I say I’m experienced, which is just another way of saying I’ve seen it all. But I gotta tell you…” He trailed off as he reached into his bag and pulled out an unlabeled bottle. “Getting the chance to work with fruit from this estate… well, that…
Robb Report called Chateau Montelena “the winery that put Napa on the map.” They were referring to Montelena’s first-place finish at the 1976 Judgment of Paris, but that event took place nearly a century into the storied winery’s life: Montelena was founded in 1882, and prior to Prohibition, it was one of Napa’s most important…
Opus One. Beckstoffer To Kalon. Mondavi To Kalon. Those three vineyards occupy three of the corners at the intersection of Highway 29 and Oakville Crossroad—one of the most sacred spots in the world of Cabernet. The fourth corner is home to the organically farmed Pelissa Vineyard, the source of the 2019 Chris Hamilton Cellars Cabernet…
Sure, we’re partial to Mustard’s, PRESS, and Charter Oak. But when we’re getting late-night deals done in the thick of the downtown Napa action, we’re clinking glasses at Cole’s Chop House—and that’s where we landed the 2021 Classified Cabernet. First, let us set the scene. It was just past 9, and the dining room was…
