Please enjoy this exceptionally true and very-not-at-all completely fabricated story of how we secured this wine participation. The key to this secret stash was said to lie with the eccentric owner of one of Napa’s most famous wineries. We can’t tell you the name—we’d have to kill you afterward, and the paperwork alone isn’t worth…
We’ve been trying to get Tor Kenward’s blockbuster collectible TOR Black Magic Napa Valley for years. Kenward is one of the most revered cult Cabernet maestros in California. For his TOR label, he and his 100-point winemaker Jeff Ames only work with the absolute greatest Napa Valley terroirs—sites like To Kalon, Dr. Crane, Vine Hill…
This past fall, we learned that Courtney Benham—the value-maven behind Martin Ray as well as his own eponymous label—purchased Viña Robles. And that made total sense. After all, Benham has been one of California’s savviest operators since the 1980s. Raised on a family farm in Bakersfield, he learned the wine business from his father, and…
The upper part of Spring Mountain is some of Napa’s most epic terroir. Steep, with crumbly volcanic soils, these slopes are host to legendary names like Pride, Lokoya, Keenan, and Paloma. The going rate for the neighborhood starts at $90 and climbs high into the $200+ range. So when winemaker Etienne Terlinden had a chance…
The 2022 Yesterday comes from one of the most pedigreed wineries in Napa Valley—a celebrated St. Helena winery whose top wines are some of the valley’s boldest, most full-throttle $300+ Cabernets. Robert Parker once wrote they “represent the greatness of Napa Cabernet Sauvignon.” They’re a perfect fit for Yesterday—the label we reserve for our most…
It was one of the most highly-anticipated vertical tastings we’d attended in years. An iconic Rutherford estate, with a history dating back to the 1960s, would be allowing a rare glimpse into their vaunted archives, tasting us and a select few other industry leaders across twenty-plus vintages. In the sedate backroom of a booked-out Napa…
Every drop of wine Carter Cellars puts out is world-class and the Grand Daddy Cabernet Sauvignon is their flagship wine, hailing from their marquee vineyard source—which happens to be one of the greatest Cabernet sites on the globe. Coming from To Kalon Vineyard in a vintage that’s shaping up as one of Napa Valley’s best…
When Atelier Melka’s winemaker Maayan Koschitzky took the reins at Castiel Estate, he took over from one of the most legendary winemakers on Earth: Celia Welch, the force behind Scarecrow, Staglin, Buccella, and Hartwell. Impossible shoes to fill? Not for Maayan—a mutli-100-point winemaker and Screaming Eagle alum—and he’s raised Castiel’s game even further, their 2023…
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 2023 vintage was a blockbuster in Napa Valley, and this incredible Cabernet comes in a one-liter bottling—perfect for a wine whose richness and suppleness practically…
When a white-hot Napa winemaker tells us he sourced his Cabernet from way up Soda Canyon Road—next to the iconic Stagecoach Vineyard, no less—we don’t hesitate to hit the road and see for ourselves. Normally, we would’ve hopped in whatever car was closest, but for a Weston Eidson wine, that wouldn’t do. So at lunchtime,…
This NDA-shrouded breakthrough deal was crafted at a St. Helena winery that, to outsiders, would appear to be the postcard image of a luxury Napa estate. But step inside the creaky old building, and you’ll discover the hidden reason that a few of St. Helena’s top winemakers are parked in the lot out front. Concealed…
A sleepy bar at the Chicago Midway airport was the last place we expected to stumble across an NDA deal that smashes the conventions of Napa Cab pricing. When the pant-suited woman with the Minnesota Nice accent sitting two barstools down struck up a conversation, we had zero clue where it was going to lead:…
How were we able to score this Cabernet from a Coombsville spot with as much cachet as any in the AVA? For that answer, we turn you over to the itinerant tipster and journo behind our Editorial series—who happens to call Coombsville’s rugged hills home. Here’s what he wrote: “Too much Coombsville coverage already,” my…
The 2023 Fait Main Beckstoffer Las Piedras Cabernet is one of the most exquisite, stirring Napa Valley Cabs you’ll ever taste. Powerful, regal, refined—and rare—it’s a high bar even from a peerless Cabernet master. Jeb Dunnuck called it “absolutely magical juice,” and every collector we know has been clamoring for this nearly impossible-to-find bottle since…
Chilled oysters, duck confit, and Champagne were on the menu that night. Major wine critics and blue-chip winemakers were in attendance. But we wanted to talk to the guy who parked his mud-spattered Land Cruiser next to the BMWs and Teslas. Chalk it up to good luck—or the good decision that gives this wine its…
We were in very productive talks with the small St. Helena winery behind this smoking hot NDA release. Then the 2023 vintage descended from the heavens like a winemaker’s fantasy of finesse, precision, and energy. We’d already been talking in depth before a delayed mid-April budbreak gave way to June’s magical fruit set, portending a…
Santa Barbara conjures images of cool, windswept, foggy hills—perfect for Pinot and Chard. But if you know precisely where to look, there are pockets that are ideally suited to Cabernet. Those microclimates don’t just produce good Cab. They produce stellar bottles like the 2023 Martellotto La Bomba. Made from Dierberg’s Star Lane Vineyard—which produces Cabs…
We called Chuck McKahn to chat about his 2023 Morning Glass Cabernet—and ended up getting a huge scoop. As soon as we got Chuck on the horn, he informed us that he’d JUST been named winemaker at Titus Vineyards two days earlier. The story was so hot that it hadn’t even hit the trades. What…
Medlock Ames was founded in 1998 by Chris Medlock James and Ames Morison, who conceived the idea while roommates in New York City (they’d been college friends as well). The seed was planted during an inspired night of drinking Bordeaux, and the pair eventually made their way to California, where they began searching for the…
All through the cool, wet spring of 2023, Napa winemakers wondered what would be on their way. After a scorcher of the previous year, the vines needed the rain—and the late start didn’t hurt as long as summer wasn’t too cold. Then, through June, July, and August, moderate temperatures reigned, with the perfect amount of…
