Robert Parker never hid his admiration for Oakville. “Tasting that corridor,” he wrote, “going from the east-side hills, where you have some great wineries, right through the valley floor and up to the Mayacamas Mountains, where Harlan is, I really see that as the tenderloin of Napa Valley. The wines there just have an extra…
The 2017 Stack House Cabernet is stacked: Two Robert Parker favorite vintners, stellar Napa Valley mountain fruit, impeccable winemaking, and a Napa Valley insider price. If we hadn’t been in the perfect place at the right time, we might have missed it all. Here’s what happened: We’d ducked into one of our favorite restaurants in…
We don’t spend half our year out on the wine trail looking for the ordinary. We’re looking for the outliers, and no bottle deserves that title more than the 2017 Stark-Condé Cabernet Sauvignon Stellenbosch South Africa. The powerful and polished Cabernet boasts a 96-point score from Decanter magazine, which puts it right alongside—are you sitting…
Described by Vinous as “one of the prime sites for Pinot Noir in the New World,” the Willamette Valley site that supplied the 2017 State of Mind LS Vineyard Pinot Noir is the one that managed to inspire renowned Master Sommelier Larry Stone—and our early bet on this terroir is paying off big time for Wine…
Jed Steele’s Zinfandel from the historic Pacini Vineyard is one of the great underrated red wines of California.

Channeling Sancerre Poolside at the Nomad A Wine Access first! As far as California Sauvignon Blanc goes, Stolpman’s version from Ballard Canyon is racy, polished and Sancerre-like in complexity. And on one recent gorgeous Friday evening, I found myself in one of Los Angeles’ most scenic spots: At the rooftop bar of the Nomad at…
The Scores Are In: “Don’t Miss It” At the top of a hill, Pete Stolpman’s truck came to a screeching halt as dust kicked up around us. “These are Ruben’s vines,” he said, bolting into a row—were there rattlesnakes? He didn’t care—and we carefully followed behind. Where Stolpman goes, we’re eager to follow—even after tales…
We made it through the crush of locals and tourists at Madrid’s Mercado San Fernando and finally found Bendito Vinos y Vanilos, the wine bar that one of our Napa-based winemaker friends had insisted we visit. We were close to cursing his name after spending hours trying to find the place, but his insistence and…
We wanted this wine—wanted it badly. Rich and full on the palate, with ripe, supple tannins that beautifully counter the warm dense fruit, kissed with Madagascar vanilla and new leather. A 100-point winemaker in Keith Emerson, the mastermind behind Vineyard 29’s latest Cabernet blockbuster releases. A rave 95-point review from James Suckling. And a price…
Located at the extreme intersection of rugged coastline, wild desert, and Andes mountain terroir, Tabalí has earned its place as one of Chile’s First Growths. The estate’s exhilarating 2017 Vetas Blancas underscores why this remote Limarí Valley property deserves the spotlight. Showing a lively dark purple hue, it explodes into aromas of violet, spice, and…
Sun-drenched California ripeness endowed with near-mythic Rhône Valley pedigree—that’s Tablas Creek Vineyard’s ethereal 2017 Patelin de Tablas, a gorgeous, raspberry-perfumed Côte du Rhône-style blend from a pillar of California’s Central Coast. Since our visit to the winery, we haven’t been able to get the lifted cherry tones and beaming purple fruit energy of this wine…
Sicily has long been the source of some of Italy’s best values, but Tasca d’Almerita’s dual 92-point Perricone pushes the quality level up a notch. A signature red from a Wine Enthusiast Winery of the Year, its bright, textured personality is stunning—the essence of their beautiful Mediterranian climate in a bottle. The Rhône and Cabernet…
Tensley’s Top Scoring Estate Blend By now, the name Joey Tensley is in effect, a Wine Access household name, right up there with Matt Cline, Julien Fayard, Benoit Touquette, and Xavier Vignon. These are winemakers whose wines have consistently proven absolute favorites, and for proof—just look at the ratings. Today’s 2017 Tensley “All Blocks” Estate…
We gave simple, bottom-line advice on our initial release of Joey Tensley’s phenomenal 2017 Fundamental Cabernet Sauvignon from California’s Central Coast: Figure out how exactly how much you’ll need. Then order double. But Wine Access veteran Mark Matlock, a man who’s purchased over 150 wines over eight years, may have put it best: “Perhaps the…
With an allocation of Joey Tensley’s mouthwatering 2017 Fundamental Central Coast Chardonnay ready to go, we’ve got to emphasize, italicize, and triple-underline our advice on Fundamental: Figure out exactly how much you’ll need. Then order double, because the 2017 Fundamental is the kind of white wine that tends to disappear fast anyway—a refreshing, full-bodied, and…
A Tensley Redux of a Top Scoring Santa Barbara Red At $40 per bottle, Tensley’s Colson Canyon Syrah is one of the best American Syrahs on the market. Two decades ago, long before he had pulled in more 94- to 99-point scores from Robert Parker than any other American Syrah-maker, Joey Tensley was a Bakersfield…

That’s the chance you have with this sultry, opulent 2017 Tenuta Argentiera Bolgheri Superiore. Modeled after Left Bank Bordeaux, it hails from a sea-breeze-caressed property…
Terrazze dell’Etna’s Cinniri is a breathtaking example of the crispness and elegance of what white wine can achieve on Sicily’s Mt. Etna. Crafted from 100% Carricante, an indigenous grape, this bottle captures the essence of this beautiful, unforgiving volcanic landscape. Terrazze dell’Etna is a modern, technologically advanced winery founded in 2008 by engineer Nino Bevilacqua….
As Director of Brand Development John Trant told us, the goal for Terroir is to “tell the Napa story in a bottle” in a way that “covers the story of the valley as a whole, as well as the uniqueness of the individual sub-regions.” They’ve succeeded wildly, producing this inaugural red from top-scoring Napa Valley…
Think of Harlan Estate. Think of Bond and Hundred Acre. Think of the few Napa Valley red wines that, guided by ambitious vintners and sourced from singular terroirs, have become undisputed California classics and worldwide cellar must-haves. The 2017 Pym-Rae Proprietary Red is sure to claim a place in that Cabernet pantheon. “Possessing loads more…
