This is as classic as Chianti Classico gets: Up narrow, twisting roads that cut through the heart of the Chianti Classico zone, lined with hardwood trees and crumbling stone walls, lies the legendary estate of Vignamaggio, where today’s 2015 Vignamaggio Gherardino Riserva was born. A supple, spice-scented wine bursting with herbes de Provence, plum, and…
The reserved yet all-knowing expression of Lisa Gherardini, immortalized by Leonardo da Vinci in the Mona Lisa, stands in stark contrast to the larger-than-life personality of Dario Cecchini, the superstar chef and butcher behind world-famous Antica Macelleria Cecchini in Panzano. The deeply moving 94-point Vignamaggio Gran Selezione Monna Lisa takes after its namesake, the noblewoman…
You might have heard that France’s Languedoc-Roussillon region has some of the greatest red-wine values in the world. The 2015 Vignobles Foncalieu L’Apogée is a chance to taste it for yourself. From the outstanding 2015 Languedoc vintage and the rising Saint-Chinian appellation, this bottle was deemed “drop-dead gorgeous” and “possibly one of the wines of…
Châteauneuf-du-Pape Meets California We can sing Villa Creek’s praises all day, but we’ll leave you with this quote from Vinous: “There’s no question that recent vintages here have seen a steady rise in quality as well as energy and I’d confidently place this winery among the upper tier of the Central Coast.” Time to carve…
The #1 Wine of 2017: First-Growth Technique Meets Chilean Terroir After tasting 17,000 wines, James Suckling made this profound 2015 Almaviva Puente Alto his #1 pick for the Top 100 Wines of 2017. Pouring on a perfect 100-point score, Suckling praised the Chilean thoroughbred as an exemplar of “neoclassicism with energy and finesse” featuring a…
Rioja’s summer of 2015 arrived like it had something to prove. Heat swept across the region, pushing early Tempranillo ripeness and keeping concerned growers’ eyes glued to the rising mercury. But July ushered in a milder end to the season, which let the grapes hang longer and develop beautiful complexity. Refreshing September rains sealed the…
The Vineyard that Made A Napa Veteran Leave California When we met up with Vineyard 29 winemaker Keith Emerson in the Willamette Valley last week, it was easy to feel his excitement—and to understand what inspired him to leave behind the top-scoring vineyards in his backyard and go north in pursuit of the perfect Pinot….
After spotting a gap on the wine lists of America’s finest restaurants, former sommelier Matt Ahern made it his mission to fill it. He wanted to create a dazzling Chardonnay, balanced and brilliant, sourced from high-quality fruit, yet available at an under-$30 price tag. So in 2010, he started the Wonderland Project and the “White…
Paddling for Waves of Minerality and Catching 97 Points In a recent lineup of several Chardonnays from Margaret River at Wine Access HQ, one of the standouts was this 2015 Wildberry Estate Reserve — earning a whopping 97-points from Australia’s leading wine critic James Halliday. Because the vineyards of Margaret River are planted just a…
The last WindRacer Chardonnay we offered sold out in short order—an outstanding, opulent Russian River Valley release for under $30 was easy math for our members. By 3 p.m., we were fresh out and directing buyers to like-minded bottles still in stock. That’s the reason we’ve been calling consistently ever since, to find out whether…
Oregon’s Signature White Wine Oregon’s best producers have rooted their Pinot Gris vines in the same Jory clay soils that attracted David Lett of Eyrie, who planted the first Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris vines in the state in the 1960s. In the ruddy-colored Jory loam, Pinot Gris vines yield pristine berries that deliver a…
Prized Under-$30 Oregon Pinot—Spectator’s “Most Extraordinary Vintage” Peter and Emily Gladhart planted their first 20 acres in 1990 when opting for Pinot Noir vines in the Dundee Hills was still a risky choice. But their gamble paid off—big time. Today, the breathtaking estate is surrounded by world-class Blue-chip neighbors who have defined Oregon Pinot, including…
Exceptional Quality at a Bargain Price When I visited Australia this past fall, I was most excited to take a deep dive into the McLaren Vale — the white-hot center of some of the finest Shiraz wines I’ve had in recent years. It was there that I re-discovered Wits End, which produced one of my…
The Most Collectible Winery in Australia This 2015 Chardonnay exemplifies what Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate was talking about in describing Woodlands’ “small quantities of high quality wines, that sit amongst the best in the area.” To understand why, look no further than the stunning 2015 Chardonnay. Lavish stone fruit and grilled tropical fruit aromas, brioche,…
Crafted by Barossa royalty, the 2015 Yalumba Scribbler is a rich, ripe, seamlessly constructed red blend, and one that consistently ranks as one of South Australia’s greatest bargains. An “Aussie icon” according to Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, Yalumba is the master of Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon blends, expertly playing the spice and body of the…
We think it’s safe to call Sebastián Zuccardi a true wine revolutionary. His wines thrust Mendoza’s high-altitude Uco Valley into the spotlight again and again. The latest evidence is this 95-point 2015 Aluvional bottling from Uco’s chilly Altamira district, a richly fruited, violet-scented stunner that packs the complexity we expect in Bordeaux but don’t often…
Napa loves tourists, but the locals do keep some of the Valley’s glory to themselves—and until we got a hold of it, the only way to enjoy the ethereal 94574 Sauvignon Blanc was by scoring a bottle at a St. Helena boutique wine shop, or ordering a glass at Michelin-starred Auberge du Soleil or poolside…
Just one taste of this textbook Pinot Noir, with its plush warm mulberries and deep Bing cherry core, and we knew we struck gold. This is the affordable yet complex Pinot Noir we all dream about but almost never find. We had to pinch ourselves, but we assure you, this deal is for real: Our…
We’ve been fortunate enough to taste icons like Harlan and Screaming Eagle, but we’d stack up Ad Vivum against any Napa Valley Cabernet today. The wine’s perfume is stunning. Structurally it’s reminiscent of Bordeaux, but with the intensity you’d expect from a classic Napa Cab. It comes from a perfectly manicured vineyard next to Dominus…
There is Prosecco and then there is Adami Brut Prosecco Superiore DOCG. A benchmark producer that Vinous has crowned “one of Prosecco’s best,” we quite literally fell for Adami’s 2016 Col Credas bottling when we visited its dauntingly steep vineyard slopes in Valdobbiadene last year. It’s rare to find a 100% estate wine in Prosecco,…
