A Legend’s Last Few Vintages Like previous vintages of Château Musar—which have sold out on Wine Access repeatedly— this 2011 is sure to be one of the most fascinating selections in your entire cellar—a true conversation piece for you and whoever you deem lucky enough to share in it. About 15 miles north of Beirut,…
Parker’s 96-Point Upgrade: The King Falls on His Sword In late February of 2015, Parker alerted the Bordelais that he would not be tasting the 2014s out of barrel. You could hear the groans from Pomerol to Pessac-Léognan. Since his historic report on the 1982 vintage, The Wine Advocate has not simply influenced the buying…
Top Cru Bourgeois and Undeniable Value Over the years, we’ve presented more than a few top Cru Bourgeois that readily compete with some of Bordeaux’s Classified Growths — none more so than Jean Guyon whoWine Spectator has hailed as a “top producer of Cru Bourgeois,” a fact that isn’t surprising given Alain Reynaud (Colgin Cellars)…
Premiere Napa Valley and the #1 Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon at the NYC Marathon Each February at Premiere Napa Valley, an auction is held to support the efforts of the non-profit Napa Valley Vintners trade association. Collectors and retailers flock to Yountville and St. Helena in droves to get a sneak peek at a couple hundred…
When we sold the previous vintage of Còlpetrone’s deliciously earthy Montefalco Sagrantino two years ago, we couldn’t keep it in stock. That was partly our fault. This Umbrian behemoth, gloriously concentrated and wound with massive, chewy tannins, offers such extraordinary quality for the value that we cashed in our staff discounts and bought cases for…
Parker vs. Galloni: “Something bizarre and beautiful” on Howell Mountain Road We’ve dined with Robert Parker once. With Antonio Galloni a half dozen times. Anyone who has enjoyed the company of both critics can’t help but understand why Parker once suggested that Antonio was the heir to the throne at The Wine Advocate. While there…
Whenever we see one of Daniel-Etienne Defaix’s Chablis on a wine list, we order it without fail. His business model is completely nuts, but he wouldn’t have it any other way. He’s the last of a dying breed. Defaix refers to himself as “Le Dernier des Mohicans”—the “Last of the Mohicans”—a reference to his status…
“If there’s a Syrah from the south that will stand up to a top Hermitage, this is it” Ventoux is one of the great unsung appellations of the Southern Rhône — essentially a satellite of the more-storied Châteauneuf-du-Pape, using the same trifecta of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvédre. Believing in Ventoux’s promise, great producers like…

Parker on 2011 Fort Ross: “Spectacular Pinot Noir … which should age nicely for 10-12 years or so” Lester and Linda Schwartz met as students at the University of Cape Town, South Africa, in the 1960s. Lester, the son of a lawyer and a farmer, was studying geology but would earn a degree in law,…
Crafted by two Mondavis in minuscule four-barrel batches, Fourth Leaf Cabernet might be the ultimate Napa Valley insider wine—one you might never taste unless you count members of Napa Valley’s most revered winemaking family among your friends. That’s why we’re so grateful that our relationship with the Mondavis has secured us this library vintage release…
A 5-star winery and its 95-point Shiraz Australia’s Frankland River is half a world away from Sonoma’s Russian River. But both exert a crucial influence on winegrowing, with the Frankland River, towards the southern tip of the vast expanse of Western Australia, doing for Shiraz what the Russian River does for Sonoma’s Pinot Noir and…
2011 Seghesio Barolo … When Piedmont Leans Towards Gevrey-Chambertin When it comes to floral intensity and aromatic fireworks, Barolo is Italy’s only answer to France’s red Burgundy. Wildly aromatic, mineral, terrifically complex — the best examples age gracefully for decades. Still, despite all the comparisons to Burgundy, rarely do the Piedmontese craft Barolos that are…
“Elegance, elegance, elegance” Can a wine be a“best-kept secret”even after Wine Spectator tells the whole world it is? That’s what we couldn’t help but wonder when we saw the Spectator article about the Podere Giodo Brunello di Montalcino, which the magazine calls an “under-the-radar passion project.” The man with the passion is Carlo Ferrini, twice…
If you ever get a chance to visit Verona, make sure to set aside some time for an afternoon visit to the immaculately manicured 18th-century garden where the famed Guerrieri Rizzardi winery conducts its tastings. Expect the spread at your table—set amidst lemon trees and mythological statues—to include hunks of Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, slices of paper-thin…
Hidden Ridge is truly one of the most breathtaking vineyards we’ve laid eyes on in Northern California, and the wines are a direct translation. To quote Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, which bestowed upon Hidden Ridge nine scores between 94-100 points in recent vintages: “These are clearly world-class Cabernets and should be considered by any serious collector for their…
96-Point Il Palagio “Sister Moon”: Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner? Three summers ago, we drove northeast out of Montalcino to Valdichiana, then jumped on the E35 heading due north. Two-thirds of the way to Florence, we exited at the Figline Valdarno, and would soon pull into a majestic, cypress-lined driveway of Villa Il Palagio. On the sun-dappled…
Worth the Wait: 2011 Brunello From Il Poggione Once we finish one of our marathon tastings, our work has just begun. We identify our favorites right away, of course, but then the dance begins, and it can be weeks or even months before we come to an arrangement that works for all involved, especially you….
Rare, Perfectly Cellared Dão Red The Dão region of central Portugal is one of the best-kept secrets for age-worthy reds in all of Europe, offering savvy drinkers the power and complexity of Spain and Italy’s best reds at half the price. Today’s 2011 Julia Kemper Touriga Nacional does exactly that, in a red Wine Enthusiast…
Juslyn Relents — The NYC Marathon Revisited In early March, as you may recall, we conducted an exhaustive tasting of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignons from 2011, far and away the coolest growing season in recent history. Prior to release, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate encouraged buyers to be selective. If that advice was heeded, with the…
