Rare started out as Piper-Heidseick’s top wine—a celebration of the bottling originally presented to Marie-Antoinette—but recently it’s undergone a transformation to its own mini-maison within the Piper architecture. Modeled on the relationship that Salon enjoys with Delamotte, this newfound autonomy has resulted in an upward jolt to the quality of what was already one of…
A Top 100 New Super Tuscan Favorite In 2012, Prima Pietra landed on James Suckling’s Top 100 New Super Tuscans list, and he pointed out that the Prima is one of his personal favorites. Taking a cue from Suckling—if you’ve ever seen him at a wine tasting he is literally revered as a god among…
The NDA-Cloaked Washington Red That Stole The Show… The competition at the tasting table that afternoon was stiff: a few Napa bottles approaching California cult status, a cadre of well-regarded Oregon Pinots, a handful of releases that had already racked up 92+ scores from the critics. But by the time the last bottle had been…
From the man Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate says “created one of the greatest wine estates in the world,” Sine Qua Non’s Resiste is an impeccable, 97-point monument to the glorious terroir of the Central Coast. A “sensational white” showing “rock-star levels of richness and texture.” *Due to the exclusive nature of this limited release, all…
The hills of Chianti Classico have long been famous for Sangiovese. That doesn’t mean they’re not perfect for Bordeaux varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc. Some of the most revered bottles from the area—Antinori’s Solaia and Tignanello, Castello di Ama’s L’Apparita, and Rampolla’s D’Alceo—are all Bordeaux-influenced, and they all sell for many multiples…
Four summers ago, we drove northeast out of Montalcino to Valdichiana, then jumped on the E35 heading due north. Two-thirds of the way to Florence, we exited at the Figline Valdarno, and would soon pull into the majestic, cypress-lined driveway of Villa Il Palagio. On the sun-dappled patio, we met the estate’s owner, one of…
One of California’s Best Bordeaux-Style Value Reds Matt Dees’ heavy-hitting “The Paring” reds are some of our best discoveries. And his 2013 The Paring Red from Santa Barbara is conceivably the finest under-$25 Bordeaux blend on the coast. Why? The Paring is the second wine from two star-studded estates: First, there’s JONATA in Ballard Canyon…

Our Theory: This Red Won’t Last Last month, we offered a 98-point Double Gold Medal red from Anarchist Wine Co. called The Philosopher and Wine Access members bought every bottle we had in record time. The only thing left to do was call the winery, which we did, and we’re writing to you with great…
Driven by a desire to showcase special plots that express themselves supremely, Telmo Rodriguez and his business partner Pablo Eguzkiza’s attention to site specificity has set Bodega Lanzaga apart since the very beginning. It’s this drive that pushes the pair to create wines so tantalizing that even those who previously swore they only drank the…
The 2014 Bodegas Tobià Oscar Tobià is our favorite under-$30 Rioja Gran Reserva we’ve tasted in a long time. And it’s not even close. A Gran Reserva grown on 34- to 93-year old vines in Rioja Alta, made from free-run juice, now with NINE years of age *should* cost $50-$60 and up. That’s because using…

I discovered the true potential of the Chalk Hill AVA during my time at Jackson Family where I got to work with Vérité Wines, that have earned an astounding 15 perfect 100-point scores. A few years…
We went nuts for this wine after sampling it at a trattoria in Florence, and when the scores came out, it was clear that critics had the same reaction. “A beautifully soft and balanced red,” opined James Suckling, declaring it a “rich and gorgeous wine.” Antonio Galloni of Vinous was similarly floored, deeming the 2014…
“Best Ever” Batailley? Among the villages of the Médoc, Pauillac has always been known for power, richness, and concentration, a style that’s been amplified by the overall movement of Bordeaux wines in the last two decades. Amid that movement, Château Batailley has remained a classic, displaying the power that Pauillac has come to be known…
