When we talk about legendary Napa winemakers, very few have crafted 96+ point wines on multiple continents. And very few spent over a decade cementing their legacy by steering one of the Valley’s iconic houses to modern-day glory and fame. The 2018 Pompier Cabernet was made by a member of both elite clubs, though we’re…
Decanter rated 167 American white wines from the 2018 vintage. Only three bottles earned 97 points: Aubert, a coveted Sonoma Chardonnay we’re prevented from naming, and Racines. The Ponzi Old Vine Pinot Gris scored 96, tied for fourth among all American whites that year. It’s a STUNNING example with the kind of poise that led…
Pope Valley, one of the oldest continually operating wineries in Napa Valley, has long been a rock-solid Cabernet for the money. Then they took things to the next level by bringing on 100-point consulting winemaker Jean Hoefliger—of AXR, Alpha Omega, and The Debate fame. He partnered with Colgin alum Greg Fitzgerald to craft the stunning…
High on Spring Mountain, Pride Mountain Vineyards crafts Cabernets and Merlots that have gained a worldwide following. They also make a couple of small-production reds that the Pride mailing list has been happy to keep to themselves. In normal times, more than 90% of Pride’s Syrah goes to the mailing list. The other 100 cases…
High on Spring Mountain, Pride Mountain Vineyards makes Cabernets that have gained a worldwide following. They also make a white that we in Napa Valley are more than happy to keep to ourselves. Grown on just three vineyard blocks on Pride’s singular site at the end of Spring Mountain Road, the 2018 Viognier is a…
The Proelio Vinedos Viejos takes an extraordinary amount of trouble and effort to make. Is it worth it? To anyone who tastes the sophisticated, silky 2018, there’s no question. Proelio manages 60 individual micro-plots of old vine Garnacha, spread across the villages of both Badarán and Cardenas in Rioja. Each one requires time and attention….
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…
The way we got our foot in the door with Provenance illustrates why there’s no substitute for living in Napa Valley. We were at Rutherford Grill, the famed hub of the wine business, and noticed that the group next to ours was deep into a tasting. Needless to say, we peeked: Every bottle was from…
Hopefully, sometime soon, Bar Boulud will reopen for dining in. When it does, and if you’ve never been, hustle up to 63rd and Broadway around 5:15 and stake out a couple of stools at the counter. The restaurant doesn’t take reservations. By 6:30, there’s sure to be a line out the door. In our book,…
We called our last offer of Quintessa’s Proprietary Red Wine the greatest ever off their Rutherford estate. It was true when we said it. That was before the flawless 2018 Napa Valley vintage produced the highest-rated Quintessa of all time. From an iconic winery whose wines merit collecting every vintage, this 99-point bottle is quite…
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…
Joe Nielsen knows a thing or two about making top-tier wines. A true wunderkind, he was named winemaker for Donelan wines before his 30th birthday—and proceeded to earn a 99- and 98-point score from the Wine Advocate in his very first vintage in charge. What he’s doing at Ram’s Gate has made industry insiders sit…
You can’t talk about Raymond without talking about its proprietor, Jean-Charles Boisset. The Burgundy-born visionary is responsible for sophisticated and flamboyant wines on both sides of the Atlantic—and few of his endeavors embody that character more than Napa’s Raymond Vineyards. Raymond might best be known for their wild parties—complete with trapeze artists, servers clad in…
“You can taste, but you can’t touch.” Our friend Mike laughed as he poured, flipping his head toward two pallets—112 cases total—of the vivid purple, black-fruited 2018 Recoltant Cabernet Sauvignon for us. “This is the Napa Cab that’s gonna send tourists and locals scrambling to get a bottle.” We swirled our glasses, and after taking…
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…
The 2018 Reveler has no flashy scores attached to it. It’s not from a cult producer whose wines fetch big prices at auction. There’s no connection to Michel Rolland and no 100-point winemaker steering the ship. None of that matters. Because ever since we visited winemaker Jared Burns in the cellar—and ever since we took…
Philip Holbrook was destined to become a great winemaker. As the assistant winemaker at Nickel & Nickel, he has a hand in some of Napa Valley’s most impeccable single-vineyard Cabernet Sauvignons. And as the grandson of Margrit Mondavi, he grew up absorbing wine culture in the greater Mondavi clan. He even honed his craft at…
The 2018 Reynoso Russian River Valley Chardonnay might be the best affordable Chardonnay you’ll taste this year. Crafted from eight barrels that were destined for much more expensive bottles, it’s gorgeously composed and precise, with delicate fruit and intricate depths of jasmine, vanilla salt, and wet stones—a remarkable wine that echoes white Burgundy but has…
