One of the Top Wines of the 95-Point Vintage For more than two decades, Archery Summit has been a leader in the Willamette Valley. Robert Parker called it “an impressive winery”—the first in Oregon to build a gravity-fed facility. The 2015 Pinot Noir Premier Cuvée demonstrates the results of this pioneering, non-interventionist approach, offering up…
Parusso’s 2015 Barolo is a dark-hued masterpiece—one of the best Piedmont wines we’ve tasted this year. Our Master Sommelier Sur Lucero described it as “the best Parusso normale since the ‘04″ which is high praise, indeed, given the producer. Marco Parusso is one of Barolo’s star winemakers, a relentless innovator and the heir to one…
From The First Lady of Wine High atop Atlas Peak, the vineyards of Au Sommet literally sit among the clouds. While “Au Sommet” means “at the top,” the name truly serves a dual purpose: it not only references the extreme altitude of the vineyard at 2,100 feet, it is a simile for the pinnacle of…
We were gathered around our tasting table, but we might as well have been in the hushed dining room of a MICHELIN three-star restaurant as we listened to Master Sommelier Sur Lucero introduce the 97-point 2015 Azienda Celestino Pecci Brunello di Montalcino. Sur has served $10,000+ bottles at The French Laundry and honed his palate…
Coonawarra Crashes the Right-Bank Party Just last year, we told Wine Access members that for stellar, high-scoring Bordeaux-style reds for under $25, they would be wise to look to Australia. Now, we admit we were wrong. We meant under $20. The 2015 Balnaves The Blend is a Right Bank-style beauty from the most iconic Cabernet…
Modernity Meets Etruscan Wisdom in Umbria After a short car ride from Florence, we arrived in Orvieto, the ancient Etruscan city crowning a massive volcanic formation in the heart of Umbria. Orvieto, 85 miles north of Rome, is laden with the charm of years past, history beckoning at every turn. A few minutes outside the…
“This Is What Old-Vine Zinfandel Should Be” When we read the rave review from Martin Sheehan-Stross, Head Sommelier for Michael Mina Restaurant, of this 2015 Baron Cooper Old Vine Zinfandel, we had to try it ourselves. After all, as sommelier for one of San Francisco’s top Michelin-starred restaurants, Martin gets to try all of the…
Culinary icon Joseph Bastianich doesn’t do anything halfway, from his Michelin-starred restaurants to his judgements on the show MasterChef. So it’s no surprise that his Venezia Giulia estate—a multi-Tre Bicchieri winner that Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate called “A rock star winery with international pedigree”—has crafted a 2015 Rosso of such power, nuance, and creativity. The…
Few Napa wines are as iconic as Beringer Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, as many of you reconfirmed when you snapped up the limited 99-point 2015 we offered earlier this year. The #24 wine on James Suckling’s Top 100 Wines of the World 2018, it’s worth every penny of its $170 retail price (let alone our…
The 2015 Beringer Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon is a collectible icon from a vintage that will live forever in the legacy of Napa’s Beringer estate. Mark Beringer, the fifth-generation heir to the legendary château, claimed the winemaking throne with eminence when his first vintage of Beringer’s top cuvée earned a massive 99 points from James…
It’s a uniquely Italian brand of catastrophe when the wine doesn’t immaculately pair with the food on the table, but it was such a predicament that led to our discovery of the gorgeous 2015 Bertani Secco Original Vintage Edition. Initially mistaking this Super Tuscan lookalike for a masterful upsell by our server, we were stunned…
Inspired by the singular red wines of France, the 2015 Clos de Betz is a 95-point “full-bodied, layered and velvety,” Bordeaux-inspired red. After a glass, you won’t wonder why Robert Parker himself credits the estate for making “The best wines in Washington state.” You’ll just nod in agreement like we did. We’ve shared a whopping…
Gorgeous Pinot Noir From An American Grand Cru Site The legendary, mist-shrouded Bien Nacido Vineyard has been hailed as “Santa Maria’s most famous vineyard” by Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate. Just six miles inland from the pounding Pacific, the fruit produces near-perfect, fantastically pure, seamless wines for the likes of Au Bon Climat, Ojai, Foxen, and…
Master of the Rhône Takes Roussillon To the Next Level Since the inception of The Wine Advocate, thousands of $100+ bottles have earned at least 94 points from Robert Parker. But how many under-$30 bottles can make the same claim in six consecutive vintages? Your list would have to start with Michel Chapoutier’s extravagant Bila-Haut…
Robert Parker: “One of the joys of Italian oenology that rarely gets the respect it deserves” ABV 13.00% Enjoy right away % Verdicchio
A Bordeaux-Inspired California Masterpiece This is your new weeknight red. Deep crimson, with a nose of blackberry, savory herbs, and pepper, Elevation combines a sleek mouthfeel that makes it a true crowd-pleaser. Unlike pricey Bordeaux and Napa blends, Elevation relies heavily on Petit Verdot, which gives the wine an incredibly sleek mouthfeel and inky color…
Taking 100 Chenin Blancs by Storm This past week, we sat down to taste over 100 Chenin Blancs—Vouvrays and Savennieres from the Loire Valley, old-vine bottlings from South Africa, and examples from Napa that have 100-point winemakers fixated on putting their own mark on this incredibly versatile variety. Three hours later, one had distinguished itself…
The 2015 Pensante is a BIG Rioja—one that has more in common with a broad-shouldered Napa Cabernet or opulent Pomerol, thanks to the richness and concentration achieved in dry-farmed Tempranillo from vines boasting 100 to 150 years of age! Made from 100% estate fruit in the foothills of the Cantabria Mountains, this wine is practically…
The conversation had stopped at our judging panel—the red wine in our glass was absolutely en fuego. We were on the phone with Bodegas Escudero’s importer within minutes to claim an allocation of their 2015 Serna Imperial Reserva—a beautifully crafted bottle from one of Rioja’s best vintages this century. This wine has hit a stage…
Sure, when our Master Sommelier Sur Lucero announced this bottle as his “favorite under-$20 Rioja of the year,” it grabbed our attention. And when he was backed up by 92-point Smart Buy honors from Wine Spectator AND a 92-point Editors’ Choice nod from Wine Enthusiast, our interest only intensified. But nothing sold us on the…
