Antonio Galloni is not an easy guy to impress. He was the presumed heir to Robert Parker at Wine Advocate before leaving to start Vinous, and he tastes thousands of wines every year. So when he gave the 2019 Château de Pressac a 95-point score, soon after he’d tasted through 800+ Bordeaux, plenty of people…
Bordeaux expert Jane Anson wrote, “[Le Pin] is one of those wines that can stop a room with a sip, and even seasoned wine collectors blush like children when they see a bottle of it on the table.” Flamboyant, expensive, and absolutely head-turning, Le Pin is a hypercar of a bottle—and the 2019 lives up…
It’s extremely rare to make new discoveries in Pomerol. The smallest of the major Bordeaux appellations, its limited acreage gets gobbled up by iconic, long-established chateaux like Pétrus. But the 2019 Chateau Maillet, a thrilling recent addition to the Right Bank canon, is one of those diamond-in-the-rough finds that quickens our pulses and sets us…
Robert Parker declared it over two decades ago: “Marsau is producing the sexiest, most sumptuous wine in the Côtes de Francs.” Once, he even mused about the under-the-radar Château Marsau being the Pétrus of that oft-overlooked appellation. Take one sip of their 2019 Francs Côtes de Bordeaux and you’ll understand the praise. Made entirely from…
The 95-point 2019 Château Tour Maillet was grown in an excellent vintage barely a ten-minute walk from Château L’Évangile and Petrus—two storied estates that fetch $250 and WAY more per bottle—so you’d think it would cost a mint. And that’s why we call it one of the best-kept secrets on the Right Bank. Tour Maillet…
Take a ten-minute drive southeast from Chateau Margaux, the legendary estate known for powerful, $500+ reds, and you’ll reach the front door of Cru La Maqueline. If you blink along the way, you might miss the invisible line separating Margaux from the broader Bordeaux appellation. Here, in a tiny pocket of market inefficiency next to…
“Look for the new generation.” That’s what a seasoned importer told us back in our earliest days in wine, when everything grand and classic was much cheaper than now but still WAY out of our reach. Any house with a reputation already had a price to match, but if you could find a young, driven…
Spring Mountain is ground zero for some of the most sublime Merlot grown and bottled in Napa. The high-altitude conditions push the variety, known for soft plushness, out of its comfort zone, resulting in expressions that are rich yet tensile, powerful in frame yet shorn of excess ripeness. The best Right Bank–style releases are well…
Estate-grown on a prime single vineyard. Sustainably farmed. Crafted by a “top-flight winemaker,” in the words of Robert Parker. Those are all things that add digits to the price of a bottle—quickly. That’s especially true in Paso Robles, where prices have been soaring: Rising-star estate Daou sold for nearly a billion dollars on the strength…
First, you have to have an “in.” Then, in order to buy fruit from one of the famed sites owned by the Pelissa-Hoxsey family, you wait. You wait until your toddler is thinking about college. You wait until your new car is an old beater. And only then, after the presidential administration has turned a…
Any conversation about the greatest Cabernet vineyard in Napa Valley is bound to get heated. Any about the greatest Merlot site is bound to be short. That’s because there’s little argument that the grape’s greatest glory lies in the Three Palms Vineyard—and the bottle that captures it best is Duckhorn’s iconic Three Palms Merlot. Through…
With its 100-point score from Decanter, the 2020 Masseto is one of the finest wines ever grown on Masseto’s prized patch of blue clay. “A truly delicious wine with so much purity and sense of place,” wrote the magazine, it’s “a caged animal with its full potential yet to be unveiled.” On our last visit…
Winemaker Matt Nagy is behind some of Napa Valley’s most renowned wines, but the bottles he makes on his own, his ultimate labor of love—that’s Benevolent Neglect. And the bottle he crafted specially for our members—that’s the tiny-batch 2021 Wheeler Ranch Red. A joint project with our expert team, it’s composed entirely of Merlot from…
When a winemaker who’s earned sixty-five 100-point scores buys your winery and vineyard, you’ve clearly got a prime piece of Napa terroir. Jayson Woodbridge—the unstoppable force behind Hundred Acre, whose over-the-top red wines frequently top $500—has an undeniable eye for terroir, and he bought Madrigal’s property between Calistoga and St. Helena just last year. He…
In every vintage, Masseto stands with the finest wines in the world. But this year, it stands apart. “The 2021 is quite simply the most exquisite, refined young Masseto I have ever tasted,” wrote Antonio Galloni of Vinous in his 100-point review. A return to the 100%-Merlot purity on which the wine was founded—the last…

First, he helped launch Napa into the stratosphere. Then he partnered with Baron Philippe de Rothschild to create Opus One. After that, Robert Mondavi turned his attention toward his family’s native Italy, partnering with the legendary Frescobaldi family to create Luce della Vite. That winery has become Italy’s Opus One, producing wines that are among…
Tuscany’s Masseto hill is one of the planet’s most iconic terroirs. From it comes one of the world’s most extraordinary wines—one that deserves a place in any world-class wine collection. Masseto is to Tuscany what Screaming Eagle is to Napa or Petrus to Pomerol. The 2022 is the exact kind of wine that gave Masseto…
Over the last decade, Luca Sanjust’s Petrolo has become one of the most critically decorated estates in Tuscany, and Galatrona is the estate’s calling card. Wine Spectator has called this top cuvée the “Le Pin of Tuscany,” referring to the mythic Pomerol that trades for $4,000 or more. We love that moniker, but since Galatrona…
Bright purple, the Hayes Valley Merlot has notes of Bing cherries with a hint of eucalyptus and vanilla. On the palate, cherry, plum and a hint of vegetation but balances well with the bright fruit flavors. Vanilla with a little spice on the finish. Medium acidity and tannin. 14% ABV
