No region in France produces red wine value as reliably as the Southern Rhône—but even given that reputation, the 2018 Ogier Lou Caminé Lirac is a hell of a find. Estate-raised by one of the Rhône’s most reputable families—the Ogier clan behind the famed Clos de l’Oratoire Châteauneuf-du-Pape—this bottle shows why so many Châteauneuf-based producers…
For a velvety California Cabernet powerhouse—ideal drinking any day of the week—it doesn’t get much better than this 2018 Omen. French-born winemaker Alexandre Remy sourced this wine from a combination of Sierra Foothills and Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards. In doing so, he combined the best elements of two of California’s most exciting regions, delivering a downright…
Orin Swift 8 Years in the Desert marks the triumphant return of Dave Phinney, the man who practically invented the category of high-octane reds that push the limits of ripeness and exuberance. For an entire generation of wine lovers, Phinney’s best vintages of The Prisoner, Papillon, and Orin Swift are the standard-bearers of the style,…
Ornellaia: Often referred to as “Italy’s First Growth,” the name stirs the heart and makes even the toughest critics go weak at the knees. Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate classifies it as “monumental,” while Vinous founder Antonio Galloni wrote that Ornellaia’s wines “have never failed to literally send shivers down my spine.” Two decades ago, the…
Chasing the perfect white wine, Austin Peterson crafts this California blend from eight varieties sourced from all over the state. With aromatics lent by Sauvignon Blanc and Viognier and body provided by grapes native to the Southern Rhône, it’s a vibrant yet rich and creamy white that has been showcased by the glass at Thomas…
The Right Bank is Scott Palazzo’s flagship—the wine that inspired Thomas Keller to ask him to make a red exclusively for The French Laundry and Per Se. The 2018 version is an all-time great because that season—rated 96 points by Wine Advocate—amounted to a juicy fastball down the middle. “This is a world-class vintage,” Scott…
“You’ve got to taste this.” We get plenty of texts like that, but few come from respected authors of famous wine books and renowned podcasts like Elizabeth Schneider of Wine for Normal People. It took weeks to track down the elusive wine in her accompanying iPhone snap, but once the earthy, red-fruited 2018 Pascal et…
Around Portland, Patton Valley Pinot Noir seemed to show up in all of our favorite places. That’s because the smart somms know: Patton Valley delivers just as much sappy red fruit and complexity as some of the biggest names in Oregon Pinot, at a fraction of the price. Their 2018 Estate Pinot Noir Willamette Valley—which…
Along with names like Williams Selyem and Kistler, Patz & Hall practically created the elite canon of Sonoma Pinot Noir. Wine Spectator has called them “one of California’s most consistently outstanding Pinot Noir and Chardonnay producers.” Patz & Hall co-founder James Hall, who resumed ownership of the estate last year, has decades-long contracts with legendary…
We’ve been in business for going on two decades. We’ve offered THOUSANDS of wines. But in all this time, one Pinot Noir icon—from our own backyard, no less—has eluded us. That icon is Patz & Hall—and the drought ends today, because we nabbed an allocation of their 2018 Chenoweth Vineyard Pinot Noir. This bottle shows…
Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate said of Paul Cluver: “Put simply, you just cannot go wrong with these South African gems.”So why do Cluver’s spectacular Chardonnays have next to no presence in the United States? That’s also simple. Most of Cluver’s Chardonnay, which the Advocate’s Neal Martin says he’d put up “against many a preening Burgundy,”…
On our last trip to the Northern Rhône, the most striking view came at the top of Hermitage Hill. The most striking discovery came at the bottom. That’s where we tasted Paul Jaboulet Aîné’s Le Grand Pompée St.-Joseph. Poured alongside Jaboulet’s most iconic bottlings at Vineum, their tiny wine bar in Tain l’Hermitage, it’s the…
We spotted the ruby-streaked label immediately. From across the restaurant and over the din we call the Down Under Symphony—corks popping, glasses clinking, and the sound of the water lapping against the sand outside—the Paxton Thomas Block Grenache stood out on the table like a beacon of opportunity. We’d been waiting all week to try…
Patrick McNeil has pioneering blood. He spent his first years at Stags’ Leap Winery after his father and Carl Doumani purchased the fabled estate in 1970. His grandfather was a label artist for some of California’s first bonded wineries. And while his great-great-grandfather hit “paydirt” during the California Gold Rush, Patrick quarries mega-successful brands in…
Within the California wine industry, Tom Rinaldi is a legend. A member of a legendary class at UC Davis—his cohort included Randy Dunn, Continuum’s Tim Mondavi, and future Harlan winemaker Bob Levy—he took the job as Duckhorn’s first ever winemaker. Over his two decades there, he turned the winery into one of Napa’s most iconic…
Peter Michael’s 2018 Belle Côte Chardonnay Knights Valley belongs in the company of your Montrachets and Meursaults—it’s structured as finely as the best whites of Burgundy, and will age accordingly. Grown on the sunny but cool 1,500-1,700-foot Belle Côte site, it shows exquisite minerality from the rocky volcanic soils, which are planted with thirty-year-old See,…
Six years ago, we had to fight off the likes of Gramercy Tavern and The French Laundry for our first tiny allocation of Picayune’s Padlock red. We’ve muscled out others for bigger and bigger allotments every year since, but the Picayune fan base always grows faster. A wine that’s earned member-reviews that put it on…
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…
Seriously deep. Intense. Opulent. No wines from the European continent fit that description better than those from Ribera del Duero. Ripened to perfection in the unrelenting sun, boosted by vibrant acidity from the cool nights, and cloaked in toasted oak, these inky Tempranillo blockbusters challenge Rioja and Priorat for Spanish supremacy—and Napa Valley for pure…
We are proud to present the newest vintage of Plinth, the exciting new project from the curious minds of Jason and Flora Chang, founders of NINE SUNS and Houyi Vineyard high atop Pritchard Hill! “ “Plinth” means “column” or “support,” and the name is wonderfully apropos for Jason and Flora’s Cabernet project, built upon the…
