The 2019 Gibbs Three Clones Cabernet Sauvignon is a bit of an anomaly. In any sane marketplace, Cabernet from prime St. Helena vineyard sources simply should not cost under $40. Consider what the neighbors get for their wines. The Gibbs comes from two vineyards: the Centa Vineyard, near Hourglass ($200) and Revana ($185), plus Cross…
It was the summer of 2006. We were dining with Gianluca Grasso at Osteria Veglio in La Morra. Before the waiter even handed the talented young winemaker the wine list, Gianluca ordered. “Bricco delle Ciliegie. Two bottles.” It was automatic. If you’re going to spend an evening eating sumptuous Piedmontese cuisine, there’s only one way…
“Overachiever” doesn’t come close to describing brothers Giuseppe and Luigi Anselmi’s tiny-production Pinot Grigio, but it’s a good place to start. Bursting with lemon zest, yellow flower, sage, and crushed limestone, the 2019 is an unwavering and exuberant expression of Pinot Grigio. From the grape’s native home, it’s crafted to the highest standard by two brothers…
We’ve made some inspiring wine discoveries on the patios of tiny bistros in Italy, but few compare to the electrifying Giuseppe Zorzettig. What began as a recommendation from our server as we sat across from the Spanish Steps has become one of Wine Access members’ favorite—not to mention highest-rated—Sauvignon Blanc values of all time! On…
There’s no way we’d ever pass up a shot at a Russian River Pinot Noir made by Atelier Melka Director of Winemaking and Wine Enthusiast honoree Maayan Koschitzky… and no way we’d EVER expect it to cost less than $45 per bottle. That’s why the 2019 Giving Kitchen Pinot Noir Russian River is such a…
We could’ve called this wine “No-Brainer Decisions,” because when we got a rare chance to work with a St. Helena estate sitting on some of the most revered land in Napa Valley, that’s exactly what it was. Here are the pros of this tightly guarded NDA deal: It’s from an iconic St. Helena site not…
The 2019 Granbazan Etiqueta Verde Albariño, is a crisp, citrus-scented white wine that changed how we look at Spain, and Albariño in particular. Energetic, with lime zest and oyster shells, and soulful with unforgettable notes of peach blossom, it finishes with an unforgettable hint of salinity that only the best Albariños boast. From a country…
When it comes to Grand Napa’s vineyard sources, we wouldn’t rule anything out. The team behind the Rutherford-based winery seems to know everyone in Napa Valley—and each year we hear absolutely astounding rumors about the sites they’ve scored fruit from. For legal reasons (see: NDAs, inch-thick) they’ve never been able to confirm or deny our…
“Let’s get to work,” Luc said. The day had come. After over a year of careful planning, we arrived at Luc Morlet’s studio in St. Helena to commence our collaboration—his first in over a decade. Six hours later, the 2019 Grande Sonnerie Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley came into focus. We and Luc went back and…
“Let’s get to work,” Luc said. The day had come. After over a year of careful planning, we arrived at Luc Morlet’s studio in St. Helena for a barrel-tasting—the kick off to Morlet’s first collaboration in over a decade. There was a time when he made wine only for other people, such as Peter Michael…
Greg La Follette is the founding winemaker of Flowers—plus 13 other wineries—and his skills make him a Pinot Noir MASTER in California. A Yoda. An O.G. He is, in fact, the last apprentice of Napa Valley legend André Tchelistcheff, and his CV is beyond impressive. There is not enough room here to list all of…
Grgich Hills Cabernet, from one of the icons of Napa Valley, is a time machine, both in its pricing and style. The core comes from vines at the foot of the Yountville Hills that range from 18 to 59 years of age, adjacent to Dominus Estate. It’s rounded out by fruit from Grgich’s estate vineyard…
The 2019 Gritsch Mauritiushof Kirchpoint Grüner Veltliner Federspiel is a white wine whose tension and precision rival $100 bottlings of Raveneau Chablis. It’s just as hard to find as bottles from that famed French domaine—but this wine carries a price tag that’s 80% lower. Even the winery is sold out of this sommelier-favorite, but we…
This Amarone comes from three different crus in Negrar di Valpolicella, including Rizzardi’s best site, Calcarole, whose single-vineyard bottles go for $70+ (on the exceptionally slim chance they appear in the US at all). Negrar is one of Valpolicella’s only municipalities to bear the classico denomination, and it’s an area that Wine Enthusiast says contains…
The aromatic white wines from France’s Alsace region tend to fly under the radar, which is the only reason why we were able to secure this full-bodied, highly expressive, mineral-laden Gewürztraminer Réserve from one of the region’s most historic wineries—for a very non- réserve price. There’s a reason Gustave Lorentz’s Gewürztraminers have been longtime favorites…
We flipped on the conference room light. Seated at the table, clad in a stylish but second-hand Brooks Brothers tweed blazer, Halpin looked like he was waiting to audition for the role of Young Professor in a student movie. He had on a light blue oxford shirt bound at the collar with…wait, was Halpin wearing…
10:31 PM: Look who I found. 12:46 AM: Deal of the year. 1:17 AM: Call me tomorrow. Or tonight. Just call. We’re no strangers to Halpin’s early morning texts, but these had us dialing his number before we’d even rolled out of bed. Pictured in the accompanying photos, slices of pizza in hand, was a…
When we got to the office at 8:00, Halpin was already there, feet on the conference table, an unlabeled bottle beside him. He held it out, and written on masking tape across the front was “The Oakville Cab U Want.” “Where’ve you been? I’ve been waiting for hours,” he said, doling out several generous, deep-purple…
Head High is a rare chance to drink the fruits of Bill Price’s labor for under $20 per bottle. He’s a legend in the Sonoma wine industry: a key figure at some of the most renowned names in Pinot and Chard—wineries like Kosta Browne, Gary Farrell, and Three Sticks. Head High draws from the same…
When we were starting out in this business, many of our Cabernet finds came from Napa locals who had access to incredible grapes and made wine in quantities too small to attract much attention. Today, 16 years later, discoveries like that are still our favorites because they often hit the sweet spot between terroir and…
