Donnafugata is “one of Italy’s, not just Sicily’s, best wine estates,” according to Vinous, boasting dozens of 95+ scores in the pages of Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, Vinous, and Decanter, and perennial status on the Tre Bicchieri award-winners list. Their 2017 Sedàra Sicilia is a standout red, and a fantastic deal from a producer who…
It’s one thing to call a wine an incredible deal—and another to watch as vineyard workers winch a sled of golden grapes up a perilously steep slope, muscles and ropes straining against gravity and rock. The effort it takes to carve this wine out of the Mosel River valley walls is momentous, so to nab…
Drinking Riesling with the Master The size of Mr. Bergweiler’s hands didn’t seem quite real. We had spent the morning with him touring the estate vineyards from which this bear of a man crafts some of the most energetic, mineral white wines on earth, and had just gotten settled into a table at his winery…
The White From the Cape You’ve Been Waiting For Last week, I was in Aspen, Colorado at the world-famous The Little Nell. It was well after hours, but a friendly acquaintance, Master Sommelier Carlton McCoy, the wine director there, wanted to unwind from a long day of tasting events. For starters, we had a 2006…
Only one thing in the world could make a sip of DuMOL’s golden-hued, naturally rich, balanced, and vibrant Chardonnay any more exhilarating. Three years of anticipation. Three years. That’s how long we’ve been working on an allocation of this Russian River benchmark’s stellar Chardonnay, from the Russian River winery that Wine Spectator has lauded as…
The 96-point 2017 DuMOL Wester Reach Pinot Noir Russian River Valley didn’t just convince us that our allocation of DuMOL was well worth the three-year wait. It also took us back to one of the most powerful first impressions we’ve ever had in wine. It was nearly a decade ago, as California Pinot Noir was…
There are few wines more iconic in Napa than Dunn’s Howell Mountain Cabernet. Randy Dunn put the now-coveted Howell Mountain appellation on the map by producing some of Napa’s greatest wines throughout the 80s and 90s—and his 2017 edition shows that he’s making his best bottles today. This regal and ageworthy 97-point 2017 continues the…
Over two decades, one Sonoma County winery has earned legendary status among Wine Access members by making consistently exquisite wines from some of the top vineyards in the region. That winery is Dutton-Goldfield, and we’re thrilled to share this unprecedented vertical of three library Pinot Noirs from the renowned McDougall Vineyard on the true Sonoma…
There are the top Rhône producers, and then there’s Guigal. Led by the man Robert Parker called “this planet’s greatest winemaker,” father-and-son team Marcel and Philippe Guigal craft what the Wine Advocate simply calls “some of the greatest wines in the world.” Guigal classifies four wines as their “Treasures”: the single-vineyard La Landonne, La Mouline, and…
Condrieu’s Finest: Guigal’s La Doriane When we get our hands on E. Guigal’s La Doriane, it doesn’t last long. One of the most iconic white wines in the world, from the winemaker Robert Parker called the “World’s Greatest,” La Doriane is the kind of bottle that, once opened, will have every guest at the party…
The time and place don’t matter: When we see E. Guigal’s Côte-Rôtie Brune et Blonde on a wine list, whether in a modest bistro in the Northern Rhône or a Michelin-starred restaurant in Napa or New York, we order it. It’s not just that the savory, dense, and complex red is capable of carrying any…
Before Kronos, before Martha’s, before To Kalon, there was Eisele Vineyard. When we talk about important Napa parcels, we always start here, just outside of Calistoga. Eisele Vineyard epitomizes why single-vineyard wines exist, because it offers a unique balance of elegance and power and stands alone in this part of the Valley for quality. It’s…
Region, producer, price unknown: All we knew was that the lively and layered Chardonnay lingering on our palates had everything we look for in a world-class white wine. If the price was right—we had a Premier Cru-like number swirling in our heads—we’d grab all we could for Wine Access members. Then, we learned three facts…
Ridge and Rafanelli, Turley and Biale: We’d jump out of our chair to answer a call from any of those Zinfandel legends—but we move just as quickly when it’s Elyse on the other end. Elyse Winery is “Inside Napa” at its very best. Little-known outside the 707 area code but hailed as an “under-the-radar, high…
Critical praise for the 2017 Escarpment Pinot Noir has been universal. Acclaimed as “a tightrope walk of elegance and purity, delicacy and power” by Wine Enthusiast in its 93-point review, and swooned over by Wine Spectator for its “raspberry coulis and cherry compote flavors,” this is a Pinot lover’s dream. And at less that you’d…
A dark-fruited gem decorated with dual 93-point scores, the highly coveted, limited-production 2017 Etude Fiddlestix Vineyard Pinot Noir is absolutely stunning—with fleshy, supple richness and a seductive nose of ripe black cherry and spice-dusted plum. Fiddlestix is a quintessential site on par with legendary Sta. Rita Hills vineyards like Clos Pepe, Sanford & Benedict (which…
The exhilarating whites wines of F.X. Pichler have achieved the kind of mythical status that only a few others can claim. And while perfection isn’t a term we use lightly, in this case it’s the only measure that holds up. Robert Parker likened the quality of F. X. Pichler to Château Latour and Domaine de…
Beckstoffer Las Piedras was the first vineyard in what is now the St. Helena AVA—it was first planted to wine grapes by Henry Amstutz, whose colleague Henry Pallet established one of Napa Valley’s first wineries in 1860. Beckstoffer Vineyards purchased the site in 1983. In the 2017 Fait-Main Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Las Piedras, the historic…
We first encountered the 2017 Farrimond Hitch after it was freshly bottled, and we instantly marked it as one we hoped to bring to Wine Access members. Through a series of serendipitous events (plus some crossed fingers and wood-knocking) we were able to secure a few cases. They all sold like hotcakes—hotcakes that racked up…

If you care about drinking the best Tuscan red wines AND getting fantastic values, then you need to know about Chianti Rufina. Undoubtedly the most important Chianti subzone outside the Classico DOCG, Chianti Rufina occupies a small, mountainous area that’s home…
