WA Hometown Hero Aryn Morell Blows Away the Competition Since we were first introduced to Aryn Morell in 2007, he’s been recognized as one of the most brilliant young winemakers in the United States. His consultancy stints at Stags Leap, Phelps, Quintessa, Chappellet, and Vineyard 29 caught the eye of Gård Vintners in Washington’s Columbia…
Georges Duboeuf is, without a doubt, the most famous name in Beaujolais, responsible for revolutionizing the region’s wines and bringing them to American wine lovers, and as Wine Advocate puts it Georges DuBoeuf “the world’s highest scoring French wine brand under $20.” We love this bottling because it offers a side of Georges Duboeuf that…
Cool-Climate Brilliance from Oz in 4/4 Time We’ve got a buddy who’s nuts about jazz. Whenever the subject of John Coltrane comes up, he starts raving about the landmark 1960 album Giant Steps, telling us about pentatonic scales, third-related chord movements, and something to do with Nicolas Slonimsky’s Thesaurus of Scales and Melodic Patterns. “Break…
Danny Meyer’s Go-To White at the New Union Square Cafe If you’re passing through New York City anytime soon, do yourself a favor and book a table at the newly reopened Union Square Cafe (and reserve it as far in advance as you can!) The original location, a mainstay of Gotham dining since 1985 from…
Harpooned by Silver Oak, Enchanted by Orin Swift Founder Napa Cabernet collectors, how about an easy one today? This 2015 GKG Cellars Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is the 96-point “full-bodied, nuanced, and seamless,” wine that floored longtime Wine Advocate critic, Jeb Dunnuck. But wait, it gets better. The 2014 vintage, which we offered last September,…
A Small Winery with Big Scores I’m constantly looking for small wineries who craft fantastic wine, off-the-beaten-path producers whose wines deliver incredible value for the money. This time, my search lead me to Chris Gorman’s three-person Gorman Vineyards winery in Woodinville, WA. Chris’ wines regularly receive 93 points from the major publications, and his “Zachary’s…
Iand’Agata of Vinous, one of the premier Italian wine critics calls Graci’s expression of Arcuria a “true grand cru” among Etna’s contrade. The 2015, stands out for its smoky, volcanic minerality and Wine Spectator loved the release for its balanced, medium-body, which has “accessible layers of black cherry, Earl Grey tea, pomegranate and spice flavors…
Even Gaja Can’t Get Enough of Graci’s Etna Rosso Angelo Gaja has been called a “winemaking genius” by Robert Parker, and is undoubtedly Italy’s greatest winemaker. As Parker’s Wine Advocate says, “Barbaresco is lucky to have an Angelo Gaja, the Langhe is lucky to have him, and Italy is, too.” Gaja has brought his midas…
If you were going to send just one bottle into outer space to express the beauty of Spanish Albariño—the vinicultural equivalent of the Voyager Golden Record—this would be it. A region-defining effort from Spain’s wave-drenched coast, the 2015 Granbazán Don Alvaro de Bazán Albariño Rias Baixas is made only in the best vintages. It hails…
Super Tuscan of Opulence and Beauty Founded in 1977, Grattamacco is second only to Sassicaia as Bolgheri’s oldest Super Tuscan, blazing the path for Ornellaia, Gaja’s Ca’Marcanda and Antinori’s Guado al Tasso.The 2015 Grattamacco Bolgheri Rosso is an overachiever, delivering incredible pedigree at $29.99 per bottle. I was thrilled with the beauty and purity of…
Voluptuous and Vibrant, A Spanish Powerhouse Reaches For the Crown If you want a Spanish red with the pedigree, voluptuous power, and mouth-filling richness of the legendary Vega Sicilia at a fraction of the price, it doesn’t get much closer than Hacienda Monasterio. “They are year in and year out, among the best and most…
If You Don’t Know Halcón Pinot, You Should. Halcón Vineyards is one of those tiny, word-of-mouth producers that Northern California sommeliers and wine buyers hold back for themselves (yes, we’ve been guilty too). Heralded by the few critics who’ve tasted it—romantically christened the “lonely Mendocino outpost yielding wines of uncommon authority” according to the Sacramento Bee’s…
“If everyone understood the wine business,” Halpin began at our last meeting in the courtyard at The Westin in Napa, “I wouldn’t have access to this kind of fruit. And it’s an ever-changing game. Some years it’s bumper crops all the way to the winery, and some vintages are like 2015, with tiny crops, and…
Vastly overdelivers on its price point. They may be Wine Enthusiast’s words, but they’re our mantra. We cross oceans and scour cellars for wines that offer spectacular value for the money, and they often lurk behind labels that our members have never seen. But sometimes the best values hide behind the biggest names, and that’s…
Hendry’s Blocks 7 & 22 Zinfandel Napa Valley is one of our favorite classic California Zins, and today we are back with a rare allocation of this stunning Zinfandel in half-bottles. But that’s not the only reason we’re so excited. We’re thrilled because this must-try Napa Valley Zinfandel might just be the best one to…
There’s one wine that defines Australia’s best, and it’s Henschke’s Hill of Grace. Without a doubt this is the shining jewel of the Land Down Under, and a consistent top-scoring standout that truly goes head-to-head with the best of Napa and Bordeaux. Only 120 bottles—a mere ten cases—of Henschke’s 2015 Hill of Grace were imported, and…
We’re thrilled when we can offer highly allocated, top-scoring wines like this 2015 Hertelendy Cabernet Sauvignon. It combines the opulence and finery of the Napa Valley floor with the awesome power and volcanic complexity of the mountains. This is everything a Napa Cab should be. When we first discovered it, we were amazed by the…
At $20, the 2015 Hook & Ladder Tillerman Red Blend ranks among the best Sonoma Cabernet values we’ve tasted in years. To the delight of many Wine Access members, we recently learned that Sonoma legend Cecil De Loach came out of retirement to quietly make $20 wine in the Russian River Valley under his Hook &…
Oregon Winemaking Super-Star Duo’s Pinot Gem If you’ve never been to Oregon’s uber-quaint McMinnville, and surrounding vineyards, you’re missing out on some of the best Point Noir tasting opportunities in America. Case in point is Hyland Estates. In 2015, in the hands of two of Oregon’s premier winemakers, Hyland’s self-rooted vines from 1971 yielded a…
Willamette Valley’s 93-96-point Pinot Noir Vintage We live for moments like this, when our decades in the business and countless hours on the road building relationships pay off for us — and for Wine Access clients. The call came from the owner of a 5-star hotel, informing us of the sudden, surprise departure of their…
