The Rosé That Means Business Recently, we headed up-valley to Solage for our annual afternoon in the sun with Timothy, our friend and proprietor of a Napa cult winery, and the man who handed us the keys to the Hidden Ridge cellar. Timothy is a regular at Solage, the upscale Calistoga resort where Napa’s finest…
Coaxing this beloved 2018 Prosper Maufoux out of France was no small feat, but we’re immensely glad we managed to pry an allocation out of the estate’s 161-year-old cellars. Because silky brilliance almost never comes at the price it does today—especially from the heart of Burgundy. Our first introduction to this wine came at a…
When our Master Sommelier, Sur Lucero, called RAEN his “new favorite brand of Sonoma Pinot Noir in the last decade,” he presented this focused, 96-point Royal St. Robert as evidence. This is among the best yet from a top member-rated winery of 2020, showing the depth and elegance that have Sur—along with Eleven Madison Park…
Two miles from the roaring Pacific, RAEN’s Sea Field Vineyard (formerly called Home Field) produces Pinots with incredible coastal elegance that can’t be replicated anywhere else—wines that frequent tables at Michelin-starred restaurants like Eleven Madison Park and The French Laundry. These are Pinots that Wine Access members have called “superb in every way,” while making RAEN’s…
The 2018 Regate Pinot Noir is one of the most stunning Pinot values we’ve ever offered from Willamette Valley. Grown on a tiny four-acre vineyard in the mid-Willamette Valley in a stellar vintage, it’s bursting with red fruits intermingling with Chinese five spice and cloves. Light and zesty with mouthwatering acidity, fine-grained tannins, and a…
We were lucky to spend time in Burgundy in the 80s, an era when $100 was enough to snag multiple Grand Cru bottles from Aloxe-Corton or Vosne-Romanée, with enough left over for a baguette and a slab of foie gras. Today, things have changed quite a bit, but the 2018 Régis Bouvier En Montre Cul…
Adam Lee is one of the great success stories in California wine, and a legend among Sonoma Pinot producers. He started Siduri in 1994 with his wife—bootstrapped, no estate vineyards, out of a warehouse—at a time when all those things were eyebrow-raising in the wine world. He was heavily influenced by Burt Williams and Ed…
This ruby Pinot is our latest obsession, and an absolute steal for those who move quickly with the trigger finger today. Sojourn’s Rodgers Creek Vineyard Pinot Noir is a wine Jeb Dunnuck singled out for its “rocking perfume” of sweet red fruits and wildflowers. An incredibly rare find at less than 50 bucks, especially when…
Early last spring in the Willamette Valley, Laurent Montalieu told us he “had something for us,” and proceeded to pour his Soléna Estate Grande Cuvée Pinot Noir—which held its own with Pinots five times the price. That wine went on to become far and away our top selling Pinot Noir of the year—Burgundy, Sonoma County,…
It’s thrilling what sort of fun you can get into waiting for tri-tip, California’s signature, BBQ-perfect cut of steak. A few months ago, at a ranch party outside Healdsburg, we found ourselves six feet apart from winemaker David Sayre, with one thing on our minds: barbecue. Given that we had to wait for a few dozen…
We deal with A-list wines all the time, but when our Sonoma-legend source called with an offer to sell us their esteemed Pinot Noir, we were still floored. After we heard the price—and did some good-natured negotiating—we could hardly wait until we got off the phone to fist-pump the air. These are some of the…
It’s easy to see why Styler’s Wildcat Mountain Pinot Noir can go for $60 per bottle. Grown on one of the most extreme vineyards in Sonoma, known for intense and expensive Pinot, by Scott Rich—a disciple of Tony Soter and one of the most respected winemakers in the region—it screams “high-quality” from the second the…
You always cover the cork with your thumb when opening a bottle of bubbly. You always make eye contact when you toast. And you’ll never pay $25 for a single-vineyard Pinot from a top Carneros vineyard. Every once in a while, something we accept as a gospel wine truth is thrown into question. Today, the 2018…
In early 2019, one of NYC’s most respected sommeliers, Raj Vaidya of Restaurant Daniel, reached out to the brilliant young winemaker, Anne Sery-Martindale, wondering if the two could collaborate in the making of a special Oregon Pinot Noir cuvée for chef Daniel Boulud’s gastronomic palace. By spring, Anne had assembled three distinct lots. They were…
The Duncan family of Silver Oak has been steeped in California Cabernet for 50 years. But one sip of their 2018 Twomey Cellars Pinot Noir Anderson Valley could have convinced us that they built their world-class reputation on Pinot Noir. Their impeccably made Pinot packs a level of smooth sophistication that competes with California cult…
The irresistible, ruby-hued 2018 Dundee Hills Pinot is a perfect showing of why the Duncans, California’s first family of Cabernet, headed north to the Willamette Valley. The seat of their ambition is the Prince Hill vineyard, which has a history in Willamette Valley as long and storied as theirs in Napa: Oregon pioneer Dick Erath…
In a lineup of $50+ Pinot Noirs from the best sites on the North Coast, The Insider didn’t stand out at all. Before its humble price tag was revealed to us, we pegged it as another high-end example of terroir-driven Sonoma Coast vibrancy and depth. But as Wine Enthusiast wrote, “This is a value-driven wine…
We can’t think of a California winemaker with a more sterling pedigree than Stéphane Vivier: Consider that Aubert de Villaine of Burgundy’s Domaine de la Romanée-Conti—which makes the world’s most precious Pinot Noir, priced from $1,200 to $13,000 (really)—chose him to head up his California outpost Hyde de Villaine, which you can scarcely find for…
Last year, we fought to grab every bottle we could of Westwood’s Annadel Gap Pinot Noir—and what we got wasn’t enough. Made by two 100-point winemaking stars, sourced from some of the most coveted vineyards in Sonoma, and offered at a healthy discount, the allocation sold out quickly, leaving four-dozen four- and five-star reviews in…
Some wineries can claim to have “started it all,” and some can claim to set the standard today. Williams Selyem can do both. Their early vintages clued the world in to the glory of Golden State Pinot Noir. Twenty-five years after their debut, Williams Selyem earned 100 points from Wine Enthusiast, becoming the first North…
