Jeb Dunnuck, who made his name as a Rhône expert, is a tough grader who loves big, rich wines that pack bold flavors and mountains of complexity into the glass. Anything above 95 points is a must-buy, and the air gets thin at 96—only the very, very best make it there, and most of them…
The stone-strewn vineyard of La Crau is one of the legendary terroirs of the Southern Rhône. It has been producing marvelously complex wines since the 19th century, its dry-farmed vines reaching deep down through the soil topped with round white rocks called galets roulés, bringing density and mineral power back to the surface—and ultimately, into…
Take Domaine Les Pallières, one of the most famed properties in Gigondas, and add the talents of the Brunier brothers from Châteauneuf-du-Pape’s iconic Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe, plus American importer Kermit Lynch. The result? According to Vinous, wines that are “among the best of the appellation and, in fact, the entire southern Rhône Valley.” All…
Rocky soils, old vines, a warm climate, and powerful Grenache-Syrah blends… we’re talking about the Rhône, right? Not quite. No, today’s wine hails from Cariñena, a region in Spain that’s like the Rhône on steroids, with even rockier soils, hotter days, and a summer so dry that the first rains of the fall can cause…
The Ferraton Samorëns Côtes-du-Rhône sips unlike any other wine in the category, and we suspect that when the rest of the industry catches on, it won’t remain an under-the-radar steal for smart value seekers and Châteauneuf-du-Pape die-hards. Before that happens, we’re granting access to this stunning Rhône blend to Wine Access members. Overflowing with heady aromas…
We spotted the ruby-streaked label immediately. From across the restaurant and over the din we call the Down Under Symphony—corks popping, glasses clinking, and the sound of the water lapping against the sand outside—the Paxton Thomas Block Grenache stood out on the table like a beacon of opportunity. We’d been waiting all week to try…
Joey Tensley, who has earned his critical darling status through off-the-charts quality and rock-steady consistency, is a master of Central Coast Rhône wines. He has placed wines in Wine Spectator’s Top 20 and brushed against perfection with 99-point scores from Robert Parker. Since our first Tensley offer in 2009, the wines have become an obsession…
We bugged winemaker Derek Beitler—a rising star with Caymus pedigree in his genes—for months. The last three wines of his featured at Wine Access were runaway sell-outs. What was the fourth going to be? Finally, Derek got back to us: He had just a handful of cases of his single-vineyard 2019 Jemrose Grenache, grown on…
Some truly phenomenal wine regions have thrived for decades outside the gaze of the mainstream—underrated ancient-vine Edens like Calatayud, Spain, whose intensely concentrated grapes deliver some of the greatest values in red wine. Grown on gnarled, 70-year old vines, this wine would be right at home in the more expensive regions of the Southern Rhône….
There’s a reason Château Minuty can be found on countless wine lists at the world’s top French restaurants. With its sun-kissed vibrancy, crystal-clear red fruit purity, incredible subtlety and delicate floral complexity…In short, historic Minuty sets the standard for rosé worldwide. We’ve been fans for decades (more on that later), which is why we’re thrilled…
Domaine du Grand Tinel’s Alexis Establet is a classic of the region, composed of 100% Grenache drawn entirely from an ancient-vine plot known as La Gardiole, where the bushes exceed a century in age. First crafted in 1993, this bottling is made only in the best vintages—and according to Jeb Dunnuck, the 2019 “might be…
“Is this the finest estate in Gigondas?” That’s what Robert Parker once wondered about Domaine Santa Duc, and true to form, he answered his own question: “Santa Duc has emerged in just over a decade as the number one estate for quality in Gigondas,” turning out bottlings that combine “the muscle, richness and fire of…
To understand the magic of the 2019 Sindicat La Figuera Garnatxa, there are at least a few hands you must know about. The hands of a few winegrowers who banded together in this tiny village of La Figuera, the highest village perched on the peak above Spain’s Montsant region, after a vicious storm devastated the…
We love what’s happening with Grenache in South Australia right now—verve and finesse now rule the day. And Thistledown’s 2019 Thorny Devil—a lively and detailed and wholly memorable wine from the leading evangelist of this growing movement—sets a standard for the acclaimed new wave style. In a category that has drawn numerous comparisons with Châteauneuf-du-Pape,…
In hindsight, the shotguns were not a great idea. In 1936, the owners of Clos du Caillou could not have foreseen how consequential it would be to have their hunting preserve excluded from the new Châteauneuf-du-Pape AOC. So when the government surveyors arrived, words were exchanged. Firearms were brandished, and the officials quickly retreated. As…
In 1967, Aimé Sabon returned from military service and took over his father’s 15 hectares of vines. After establishing himself as one of the most meticulous growers in the southern Rhône, Sabon built a new cellar and, in 1973, he cautiously took the plunge. Unlike his father, Aimé Sabon would not be perfectly content to…
Aussie winemakers call them “survivor vines.” Bushy, gnarled, and at least 70 years of age, they’re low-yielding and hard to farm—and by any economic rationale they should have been ripped out decades ago. But through the years, every time the balance sheets pointed one direction, winemakers pointed the other. The fruit these vines provided was…
Our long friendship with Stolpman Vineyards has always had one thing at its core: deep love for their wines. It ends up being a massive win for Stolpman, for us, and for our members, who have been treated to a slew of Stolpman rarities and exclusives at phenomenal prices. But this windfall measures up to…
Dark ruby in color with aromas of dark cherry, wild strawberry, white pepper, sandalwood and lavender. On the palate, the amazing texture is prominent wild black cherry, strawberry, new leather with a nice integration of oak and balanced tannins. It’s full-bodied, providing a powerful and complex flavor profile with velvety texture, balanced freshness and a…
