From one of the great recent vintages in Tuscany, the 2018 Valiano Chianti Classico is TEXTBOOK Sangiovese. It hails from Chianti’s most prestigious and central subzone, the famous village of Castelnuovo Berardenga, where grapes grown in coveted galestro and alberese soils allow Chianti legends like Felsina and San Felice to turn out fantastically elegant wines….
Screaming Eagle, Harlan, Dalla Valle, Bond: The list of truly iconic Napa Valley names is short and sweet, and it includes Dana Estates, a winery that commands as much respect as any in the Valley. But while every collector we’ve run across knows Dana Estates, far fewer know VASO. That’s because Dana’s VASO bottling was…
Nowhere in the world does your Cabernet dollar go further than it does in Margaret River, Australia—and no bottle proves it better than the 2018 Vasse Felix Cabernet Sauvignon Margaret River. Nearly impossible to find in the US and boasting a stunning 96-point score from James Halliday’s Wine Companion, we nabbed a rare allocation at an…
With the number of winemakers, wine writers, and sommeliers walking around with clandestine bottles of this 2018 Vasse Felix Filius Chardonnay at last year’s Australia Decanted, the annual wine industry rendezvous that brings Australia’s finest to Lake Tahoe, you would have thought the marquee Margaret River estate was the event sponsor. Far from it—only 7%…
Helen Keplinger is one of Napa’s most sought-after superstars: She’s graced the cover of Wine Spectator and was named Food & Wine magazine’s Winemaker of the Year. She’s consulted for wineries like Grace Family Vineyards, crafted a 98-point wine for Bryant Family Vineyard, and even notched a 100-pointer under the Carte Blanche label. Needless to…
“For the last 10 years, vintage after vintage, Almaviva vineyard has been quietly, consistently establishing a track record as one of the greatest wine producers in Chile, if not all of the world,” declared James Suckling, before honoring the Viña Almaviva as “Wine of the Decade.” The 2018 proves that Almaviva deserves that title. It…
The sommelier at The French Laundry had just finished pouring a nearly-$1,000 bottle of Remoissenet Le Montrâchet for the four-top next to us, and was on his way over to our table with a bottle of the Vine Cliff Chardonnay Los Carneros—and a knowing smile on his face. We knew what that look meant: He…
Vins El Cep Gelida Gran Reserva delivers truly elite sparkling-wine value—its resume reads like a sommelier’s dream. Made by a family that’s been growing grapes since the early 1500s, farmed organically and biodynamically, and given a white-glove 40-plus-month treatment on the lees, the 2018 earned 94 points and Editors’ Choice accolades from Wine Enthusiast. It’s…
In a lineup of $50+ Pinot Noirs from the best sites on the North Coast, The Insider didn’t stand out at all. Before its humble price tag was revealed to us, we pegged it as another high-end example of terroir-driven Sonoma Coast vibrancy and depth. But as Wine Enthusiast wrote, “This is a value-driven wine…
If you love white Burgundy or Albariño, prepare to be enchanted by this crisp, mineral-driven Godello, whose waves of pineapple and white peach are edged with savory notes of fennel, anise, and lemongrass. From one of the most talked-about regions in Spain, this 2018 Virgen del Galir Maruxa hails from the center of schist mining…
Grape growers recognized the sublime quality of the fruit grown on Cannubi’s slopes as early as the 18th century, and even put the vineyard’s name on bottles long before the Barolo category was invented. Derived from a local dialect, “Cannubi” translates as “mix of soil,” and refers to the geological anomaly that makes the vineyard…
We can’t think of a California winemaker with a more sterling pedigree than Stéphane Vivier: Consider that Aubert de Villaine of Burgundy’s Domaine de la Romanée-Conti—which makes the world’s most precious Pinot Noir, priced from $1,200 to $13,000 (really)—chose him to head up his California outpost Hyde de Villaine, which you can scarcely find for…
No list of mountain Cabernets is complete without von Strasser. The 14-time Wine & Spirits Winery of the Year stands alongside Diamond Mountain District’s finest, like Lokoya, Diamond Creek, Checkerboard, and The Vineyardist. But while those skyscraping Cabernets start at $170, soaring to heights topped only by the volcanic peaks of the Mayacamas Mountains, von…
Hands-down one of the most drinkable wines on planet Earth, and deliciously friendly at the table, the Von Winning is winning indeed. For $21, this Burgundian-style German Riesling scratches that deepest itch. Fresh and authentic, sweet and salty, plump and crisp—this is a premier producer in the Pfalz region making elegant wine for the weeknight…
“Absolutely fabulous. The word is ‘balance’… My dinner grouping could not believe it was not $100/bottle.” That member review sums up why every single wine we’ve offered from Randall Watkins has been a straightaway sell-out, and we’re thrilled to have the second-ever bottling of his Watkins Family Winery Cabernet Franc Bugay Vineyard. Randall only makes…
Grown in one of the most flawless seasons Sonoma County has ever seen, this tiny-production release comes from the Redwood Hill Vineyard, which shares a fenceline with Bugay, the vineyard that has supplied several sell-out Watkins Cabernets. The site sits some 1,400 feet up on a Mayacamas hilltop, enjoying a panoramic view. “It’s the top…
It’s hard to put a price on ungrafted vines. Old-timers across Europe still complain that modern vineyards, with their American rootstocks supporting vinifera grapes, don’t have that je ne sais quoi of wines from the last century. So any wineries privileged enough to work with low-yielding, ungrafted vineyards tend to charge a pretty penny—iconic wines…
An ethereal distillation of the estate’s oldest vineyard, Dr. Hermann’s iconic old vine spätlese Riesling overflows with orchard-fresh, late-harvest splendor, which earned it the rare gold capsule: a special designation among German producers connoting rarity and ripeness. For collectors and white wine lovers of all stripes, it means one thing: buy on sight. The bottle…
“From Rock to Wine”—A Bold Statement, Bottled “Have there been greater Veltliners bottled in the past 16 years?” That was a question recently posed by Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate referring to today’s legendary producer, but we had the same thought last year when we accompanied our own Master Sommelier Sur Lucero to Wachau, Austria to…
Last year, we fought to grab every bottle we could of Westwood’s Annadel Gap Pinot Noir—and what we got wasn’t enough. Made by two 100-point winemaking stars, sourced from some of the most coveted vineyards in Sonoma, and offered at a healthy discount, the allocation sold out quickly, leaving four-dozen four- and five-star reviews in…
