Harris Tweed in Berkeley and Galloni’s #1 Tuscan Bargain of 2012 Marco de Grazia was born to an American father and Italian mother. When his parents separated, Marco and his brother Iano stayed with their mother and grew up in Florence. Nearly every night there was a bottle of Tuscan red on the dinner table….
Ask Barolo winemakers to list their Top Five vineyards. We’d bet a bottle of Monfortino that Vigna Rionda would be on every list. The site is the Barolo equivalent of Le Musigny or Chambertin—the very best of the best of the area’s Grand Crus. It’s one of just ten sites that Vinous rates as Exceptional…
A 20-Acre Handshake in Rogue Valley There’s ample consensus in calling Ted Gerber’s Foris Pinot Noir the greatest bargain in Oregon. If you don’t trust us, ask Robert Parker or the world’s top Burgundy expert, Stephen Tanzer. But today, we’re going to make a broader and bolder case, suggesting that this juicy, cherry cola Pinot…
A dozen years ago, the team at Freemark Abbey were furiously getting ready for harvest: cleaning the presses, fermenters, and sorting equipment, making sure the destemmer operated properly, and locking in for the annual crush. They’d been blessed with a beautiful, easy growing season until that point: ideal budbreak, excellent flowering, and warm summer days…
When a winemaker is clearing out an estate cellar—either to make room for a new vintage or due to a change in ownership—incredible deals can be unearthed that would otherwise NEVER be on the table. Scoring one is unlikely without the right connections—and impossible without some luck. For instance, just the other week, a wine-industry…
Some Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignons sell themselves. The 2012 Gallica Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville wine is not one of them. It’s NOT a late-picked showboat designed to win a 100-point score. It’s not from a winery with a packed tasting room. But if you’ve ever gotten goosebumps from a graceful bottle of Spottswoode Estate Cabernet Sauvignon…
This is the kind of Barolo opportunity that only comes around once every few years. The flagship wine of the 128-year Giacosa dynasty, the 2012 Scarrone Vigna Mandorlo Barolo Riserva is a single-cru Riserva grown on Nebbiolo vines over 75 years old in one of the best sites in Castiglione Falletto. Hailing from a vintage…
Overseeing the vines at Gianni Brunelli estate is Paolo Vagaggini, the guy nicknamed “Mr. Sangiovese,” Wine Enthusiast’s Winemaker of the Year nominee. Vagaggini’s 2012 Amor Constante Toscana IGT is plush and radiant, much like the Tuscan hills where it is grown. James Suckling awarded the wine 94 points and a place on his 2017 list…
Every now and then, we pull a needle out of a haystack. This is one of those times. Decadent, perfectly aged Napa reds from 2012—one of the most sensational vintages of this century or last—get harder and harder to find with every passing year. The values were snapped up by collectors and bargain hunters alike…
Michel Rolland Protege’s Win-Win No. 1 Langner got his start at the Rothschild family’s Château Clarke in Bordeaux. He founded Hesperian, a boutique Napa winery and has impressed Robert Parker with his wines “that can evolve for two decades or more.” But last October’s fires hit Langner hard, his home and office atop Atlas Peak…
A “Perfect” 2012 Harvest in Sta. Rita Hills While the ratings from Wine Spectator, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, and Antonio Galloni’s Vinous differ in many parts of the world, when it comes to California’s greatest Pinot Noirs, the top-scoring names are much the same. From north to south, it begins with Peter Michael, followed closely…
Here at Wine Access, our penchant for rugged mountain Cabernet is no secret. We love its complexity, depth, and power, and have a deep appreciation for the growers who toil to craft it. These bottles exude passion and character at every turn, and reward patience with their steady evolution. Anytime we get to offer a…
93pt “Sister Moon” … and Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner? Four 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 the majestic, cypress-lined driveway of Villa Il Palagio. On…
Parker 95+ Point Brunello is “One of the year’s Best” Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate said it best: “Il Poggione is a Brunello superstar and a vintage like this reveals every reason why that affirmation is true. From the second the 2012 Brunello di Montalcino pours into the glass, you know you are in for something…
Vintage-dated wines have always carried extra prestige in Champagne: Most producers make them only in the best years, and by rule they have to be aged longer than their common non-vintage siblings. As a result, they’re rare—making up less than 5% of all Champagne—and often pricy. So when we had the chance to secure the…
Australian “First Growth” A handful of Australian “First Growths” are making Shiraz on the level of the world’s greatest wines and delivering the experiences to match. Along with Penfolds Grange, there’s Henschke Hill of Grace, Clarendon Hills Astralis, Yalumba The Caley, and Jim Barry The Armagh. Langtons, Australia’s leading auction house has a classification system…
Joseph Phelps on Sonoma Coast: Top Pinot Noir of 2012 When your name is Phelps, and you’ve spent decades building the reputation of one of Napa Valley’s most iconic reds, you think long and hard before taking on new ventures. So it must have been with plenty of trepidation that Joseph Phelps began tossing around…
A Dream Come True on Heart Attack Hill In the spring of 1994, Craig MacLean got his first look at a steep slope at the base of Spring Mountain. MacLean was a student of the mountain, and the head winemaker at Spring Mountain Vineyard thought he knew its many faces about as well as anyone….
Ignoring Inflation on Spring Mountain Road In the early 1990s, Craig MacLean landed a head winemaking job at Spring Mountain Winery. But each day as he made his way up Spring Mountain Road, he couldn’t help but eyeball an impossible 30-degree slope overlooking his employer’s property. If anyone ever had the guts to plant that…
97 points. Hundred-year-old vines. An unbelievable price. It’s next to impossible to figure out where to begin with the 2012 Kaesler Alte Reben Shiraz Barossa Valley. We’ve been working on securing this dark, inky, and concentrated ancient-vine Shiraz for years, but Kaesler’s popularity in their home country makes these wines notoriously hard to get in…
