The Miller family, owners of Bien Nacido, America’s most legendary Pinot Noir vineyard, have begun crafting their own wine with the help of Littorai alum winemaker, Trey Fletcher. Drawing on 40 years experience with this site, they now keep for themselves the best fruit from the best blocks. Vinous’s Antonio Galloni says “Simply put, Bien…
Benjamin Romeo was the first “garagiste” of Rioja, and he won back to back 100-point scores in 2004 and 2005, catapulting his under the radar wines to well-deserved international fame. The Contador showcases his chart-topping style with aromas of macerated plums, blackberries, and violets, tinged with resinous notes of herbs, licorice, and allspice. This is…
The 2012 12 Linajes Reserva has to set some kind of record for Spanish-wine value. It was a sensation at our tasting panel: As soon as we poured it for everyone, it derailed the conversation with its unbelievable longevity and quality—traits that typify elite Ribera del Duero. Perfectly cellared for 10 years, the wine’s tannins…
The Midas Touch Returns to Rioja You know the names Robert Mondavi and André Tchelistcheff, giants of the wine world whose many honors include Decanter Magazine’s Man of the Year Award. If your passion for wine extends to Spanish reds, you probably know the name of Decanter’s 2015 Man of the Year, Alvaro Palacios, the…
The 2012 Bollinger Grande Année is the ultimate expression of one of the world’s greatest Champagnes. That’s how we’ve felt from the moment we first tasted it at the estate, just after the London launch preview that had Decanter raving: “Here we are again, bombarded with superlatives for yet another extraordinarily eloquent expression of the…
Historic, fully mature Cabernet almost a decade into its impressive long life isn’t usually accompanied by a freshly awarded 94-point score and Wine Enthusiast Editors’ Choice designation. But this 2012 Brothers in Arms Leading Horse Cabernet Sauvignon is full of surprises. The Wine Enthusiast review heralded this outstanding wine as “a quintessential South Aussie Cabernet drinking…
Bryant Estate is one of the few wineries that elicits agreement among wine collectors around the world: The name evokes the absolute pinnacle of Napa Valley winemaking, and a single bottle will sparkle as the crown jewel of any cellar. And today, we’re thrilled to bring you a library release from the Bryant Estate Cellars on…
Some wines have the sheer prestige to capture the attention of everyone at the table—until a wine like the 2012 Calabretta Nerello Mascalese Vigne Vecchie Sicilia steals it away. This is not a Cru Classé Bordeaux. It’s not a Premier Cru Burgundy. But in terms of character, tradition, terroir expression, and the ability to captivate…
A Stone’s Throw from Gaja After earning a degree in enology, Angelo Gaja began working at the family winery in 1961. He would introduce French concepts to winemaking in Barbaresco, with the use of barrique, hybrid bottle formats, longer corks, and even clonal selection in the vineyard. These concepts would catapult Barbaresco to the heights…
Wine Access Client Favorite Brunello of Epic Vintage In January of last year at the Consorzio Del Vino Brunello di Montalcino, we tasted a bevy of the heralded 2012s at Gotham Hall in NYC. Many of the top-rated wines carry price tags equivalent to the record-breaking 2010s. But not all of them. Unsurprisingly, one of…
Biting the Bullet in Luján de Cuyo As the economy continues to crumble in Argentina, even Mendoza’s top estates are obliged to face the music. By all reliable accounts, inflation rates have topped 2.5% per MONTH this year. Banks have stopped lending, tightening the noose around the necks of cash-strapped wineries. At the same time,…
The most incredible Chianti Classico bargain we’ve ever seen is this Riserva from Piergiorgio Castellani’s family-owned Castellani estate. As Wine Enthusiast says, “Castellani have been prominent members of Tuscan wine community for nearly a century. Today under the guidance of the latest Castellani generation in the person of Piergiorgio this ancient family company is jockeying…
“If only all under-$20 wines tasted like this….” We first met Piergiorgio Castellani, proprietor of Campomaggio and the head of one of Italy’s greatest wine families, in New York City. Given the company his wines regularly keep— on lavish restaurant wine lists like Jean Georges, Eleven Madison Park, Le Bernardin, and Auriole—we were excited to…
$150 Super Tuscan Tops Masseto and Solaia Collectors, take note: The magnificent 97-point Castello dei Rampolla d’Alceo is not only a showcase of Super Tuscan power and grace at its best, but a Cabernet-based gem that will shine in the cellars of both Italian wine collectors and Bordeaux aficionados.Wine Enthusiast named it #61 in their…
Shaped by world-class winemaker Jac Cole—an author of polished, long-lived wines at Spring Mountain Vineyards, Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars, and S. Anderson—this 2012 treasure hails from a gorgeous St. Helena property, not to mention one of the finest seasons of all time: Robert Parker declared it “spectacular…a vintage for followers of classic, big, fruit-dominated Napa…
Of the roughly 19,000 growers in Champagne, only 5,000 of them make their own wine (which we call grower Champagne). Out of all those growers, a mere 28 are part of the exclusive Club Trésors de Champagne, otherwise known as the Special Club. Roland Champion is one of those elite chosen few. But that’s far…
A “tour de force.” A “home run, which is especially impressive in 2012.” That kind of praise from Robert Parker himself is itself enough to set off a scramble among collectors. But then we saw the score for the 2012 Clos Dubreuil—95 points—we did a double-take. This bottle landed above Lafleur and Angélus, matching Cheval…

Next time we’re in L.A., we’re going to book a table at Château Marmont, order the truffle fries and a round of dry Martinis, and start regaling her with the dozens of movie ideas…
“The Best Beaucastel Since the 1990 or 2001” — Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate Every serious wine collector in the world is well acquainted with the Perrin family’s Château de Beaucastel. Since Robert Parker first began dropping 100-point scores on Beaucastel’s Châteauneuf-du-Papes, Beaucastel has set the bar by which all wines of the southern Rhône Valley…
Ever since the gorgeous Petrus-like terroir of Château de Bel-Air first caught our attention a decade ago, the estate has blossomed into one of the Right Bank’s great values. We finally captured our first allocation last fall—a quick sell-out that was gone before many of our Bordeaux lovers could claim a case. Fortunately, that sellout…
