Long before single-vineyard Cabs were commonplace, there was Eisele Vineyard. The site epitomizes why single-vineyard wines exist, because it offers a unique balance of elegance and power and stands alone in this part of the Valley for quality. The alluvial volcanic soils fanning out from the base of the Vaca Palisades offer terrific drainage, which…
We always know Alejandro Vigil’s El Enemigo Chardonnay will be outstanding. First, the 100-point winemaker helms the iconic Bodega Catena Zapata as his day job. Second, a significant percentage of this wine’s fruit comes from the Adrianna Vineyard in Gualtallary, where Catena makes a pair of $125 Chardonnays. So expectations are always high—yet the 2022…
Ernest Vineyards’ Sonoma Coast Pinots have become a darling of some of the top restaurants in the country—they sit proudly on The French Laundry’s wine list alongside names like Williams Selyem, Peter Michael, and Marcassin—because they deliver outstanding quality. But none of the wines that Ernest Vineyards makes delivers value like this Sonoma Coast bottling,…
Some wines are like fine-art paintbrushes, molded to a very specific style or purpose. The 2022 Fanti Rosso Toscana Poggio Torto, on the other hand, is a Leatherman multi-tool: an essential, splendidly versatile purchase to keep close at hand any time you need it. Trust us, that will be often. Because when the question is…
You can practically smell Faust Vineyard before you can see it. One of the pioneers in Coombsville, planted in 1998 by the same team behind Quintessa, it’s among the most distinctive sites in southern Napa. Aromas of herbaceous bay leaves and the salty air of the San Pablo Bay waft over the hills as you…
Crafted under Michel Chapoutier—who’s earned more than forty 100-point scores—the Ferraton Père & Fils La Matinière Crozes-Hermitage is one of the Rhône’s great values, every vintage. In a warm, standout year like 2022 watch out: This powerful red, made from biodynamically farmed grapes, earned a 96-point score and Editors’ Choice honors from Wine Enthusiast, cementing…
Just 5% of the Northern Rhône is planted to white grapes, which means Rhône whites are as uncommon as they are fantastic. We rarely get the chance to offer them, so of course we were going to jump at the chance to offer Ferraton’s La Source Blanc again—especially after a three-vintage hiatus and a boatload…
As winemaker at Beaux-Frères—one of Oregon’s best-known Pinot houses—Grant Coulter made Wine Spectator’s #3 wine of 2016, the $90 2014 Pinot Noir Beaux-Frères Vineyard. Flâneur Wines scored a coup when they recruited Grant away, and they’re on a tear today thanks to him. He has an uncanny ability to coax succulent, sweet fruit out of…
Gary Farrell’s Russian River Selection Chardonnay has established itself as a pantheon-level bottling for our members, and the reason for its quality is simple: It’s drawn from some of the greatest Chardonnay sites in California. Built on grapes from the fog-shrouded Westside Farms, the wine gains concentration and structure from grapes from the Allen Vineyard…
What Angelo Gaja is to Piedmont, what Antinori is to Tuscany, Alberto Graci is to Sicily—specifically, the revered black volcanic soils of Mount Etna. The “Graci name is tightly linked to Etna excellence,” wrote Wine Advocate. Mount Etna is where, at an elevation of 1,000 feet, he farms some of the highest Nerello Mascalese vines…
Poured at some of the toniest restaurants in London, including spots that boast award-winning wine programs, the Gran Passione Rosso Veneto has become a MONSTER hit among sommeliers and Wine Access members. This “baby Amarone” encapsulates the charms of one of Italy’s richest, boldest reds. Made with the same labor- and flavor-intensive appassimento methodthat produces…
To call some of Franz-Josef Gritsch’s vineyards steep is an understatement. They look like a giant carved a stepladder into the face of a cliff, with terraced rows that plunge towards the Danube River below—and Gritsch’s Kirchpoint Grüner Veltliner captures the dynamism and audacity of those slopes with every sip. Made from his family’s oldest…
The Petaluma Gap is one of the most sought-after Pinot Noir AVAs in Sonoma County. Sun Chase Vineyard is a big reason why. Back in 2013, Alex Guarachi was so impressed by what wineries like Bevan were doing with this site, he bought the vineyard, a very savvy move. Before long, wineries like Kosta Browne…
“How many household-name Cabernets would you say there are in Napa?” We started ticking them off. Opus One, Harlan Estate, Screaming Eagle… Halpin cut us off. “No, no, no. Not cult Cabernets that only the one-percenters know,” he said. “I mean household names. I mean rock-solid Cabernet you can hang your Stetson on, pardon the…
Cabernet Franc is the secret weapon of California’s North Coast. Its name may not always grace the label, but it’s the star in iconic Napa Valley bottlings like Dalla Valle’s Maya and Luc Morlet’s Force Tranquille. The 2022 Hook & Ladder Cabernet Franc Los Amigos Ranch Chalk Hill isn’t a museum piece for which you’ll…
When The Wall Street Journal called Pouilly-Fumé the “French Sauvignon Blanc we should be drinking more often,” they were thinking of bottles like this one from J. de Villebois. It’s top-tier Pouilly-Fumé: compact, sleek, and focused, with excellent precision—all the attributes we look for in Sauvignon Blanc from central France. It took us a long…
The story of J. Wilkes reads like a maritime adventure translated into terroir. Jeff Wilkes, an accomplished sailor whose love for the ocean ran as deep as his passion for wine, understood instinctively how the Central Coast’s proximity to Pacific currents could shape exceptional fruit. For nearly two decades, he cultivated relationships while selling grapes…
Aussie winemakers call them “survivor vines.” Bushy, gnarled, and at least 70 years of age, they’re low-yielding and hard to farm—and by any economic rationale they should have been ripped out decades ago. But through the years, every time the balance sheets pointed one direction, winemakers pointed the other. The fruit these vines provided was…
One bottle per order. That’s what Aussie red wine lovers are often limited to when they buy John Duval’s Entity Shiraz from the winery website. It’s so impossible to find in Australia that one of our members once wrote, “This is a superb Shiraz. Our Australian cousin has begged us to save her a bottle.” …
Cabernet Franc is Napa’s secret weapon, and winemakers around the valley know it. It’s the signature of wines like Dalla Valle’s $500 Maya and Favia’s $250 Cerro Sur, and it’s the grace note that elevates a slew of other $200 wines from good to great. That’s made the tricky-to-farm Franc more expensive than Cabernet Sauvignon…
