This 2016 Brothers Vineyard Cabernet is one of the most classic Napa Cabs we’ve tasted all year, a throwback to the more restrained style that defined the region before riper, more full-throttle wines became the fashion. Our first sip was stunning with its aromas of dark black fruit, black currant, bay leaf, and Oscuro tobacco, all…
The 2016 Solar de Alarcos Crianza is a stunning, smooth, and powerful Rioja that bottles everything we love about the region. Introduced to us by a Rioja native, this stellar Tempranillo lit up the table at a paella festival in Carneros this spring, stealing the scene from both vintage Napa Cabernets and Spanish heavyweights. This…
Our friendship with 100-point winemaker Phil Titus dates back some 25 years. The man behind Titus Vineyards and Coho, he’s a legend in the field, and the guy to talk to if you want to understand the psyche—and palate—of a classic Cabernet drinker. In his 30-year tenure at Chappellet, he’s produced a run of career-defining Cabs,…
Staglin not only makes some of the most impeccable and iconic Cabernets in Napa—but the winery also sits on one of the Valley’s truly singular sites. Purchased by the Staglins in 1985, this precious piece of the Rutherford Bench was originally planted by Napa godfather André Tchelistcheff for BV’s legendary Georges de Latour Cabernet, which…
As professional wine lovers, staying home isn’t really in our DNA. To love wine is to love the endless pursuit of it, from uncovering hidden vineyard pockets in our California backyard to sourcing rare bottlings from era-defining estates abroad. It takes a certain kind of wine to make us forget the chase and relish in…
“The Best Wines to Date from Stolpman” Last August, Robert Parker’s longtime California reviewer, Jeb Dunnuck, called the 2016 Stolpman Estate Syrah, “ripe, sexy and polished,” and among “the best wines to date from Stolpman Vineyards.” It’s no surprise, given the talent behind this bottle. The tag team of vineyard manager Ruben Solorzano — Wine…
Santa Barbara’s Original Syrah Vines rest this time of year. Pete Stolpman doesn’t. He is preparing to bottle ten different cuvées of Stolpman Vineyards wine between January and March, so we were lucky to catch him in between appointments to talk about the 2016 Stolpman Syrah Originals Ballard Canyon, a brooding, peppery, and graceful Syrah…
A Top 100 Red from Superstar Sashi Moorman This Wine Access client-favorite sensational California red is back. We just secured a new allocation of the 2016 Stolpman Vineyards “Para Maria” Proprietary Red, which earned a 93-point Editors’ Choice score from Wine Enthusiast AND landed a coveted spot on the magazine’s Top 100 Wines of 2017….
We’ve been building to a day like this for the last three years. The first time we tasted Stone the Crows Cabernet Sauvignon with winemaker Thomas Rivers Brown, he told us there was no more wine available. A year later, “no more” became a small 35-case offering of the winery’s second label, Fallen Feather. Then,…
We’re headquartered in Napa, but we’ll admit it: One of the most authentic expressions of Mayacamas Range Cabernet Sauvignon I’ve ever worked with comes from Sonoma County’s Alexander Valley. We love Stonestreet’s Monolith Cabernet Sauvignon for its distinctive, mountain-bred personality. This wine is not an optically-sorted, homogenized kind of Cabernet. It’s called Monolith because it’s…
Sullivan’s Rutherford Estate Cab is a rare prize, one that’s often devoured by their devoted mailing list. When we tried this rich and layered 2016 from one of the best vintages Napa has ever seen, we were sure it was destined for a similar fate. But thanks to Wine Access members’ avid Sullivan fandom, the…
Most world-class wines are priced to be trophies. A precious few are still priced to be enjoyed. The 2016 Tahbilk Marsanne Museum Release epitomizes the latter, which is why we worked so hard to score an EXTREMELY elusive allocation. Grown on some of the oldest Marsanne vines on earth and crafted by one of Australia’s…
One of our best dinners of 2019 took place not in a white tablecloth, Michelin-starred establishment, but in a drafty Michigan hunting lodge on a friend’s back forty. Roasted rack of venison with a black peppercorn crust was the night’s special, served on a rough-hewn table by a fireplace just barely keeping out the December…
When we tasted last year’s Talenti Brunello, we didn’t think under-$60 Italian reds could get any better. Then we tried the 2016. Vinous called Talenti “one of the best values in age-worthy Brunello in the market,” and Wine Enthusiast’s Kerin O’Keefe—who wrote the definitive book on Brunello—gave the 2016 a 97-point score, which put it…
Topping the charts in any Brunello vintage is no small feat—and doing it in 2016, Wine Advocate’s highest-scoring vintage of all time, is a MASSIVE achievement. In that picture-perfect year, the top is exactly where Talenti’s Piero Brunello di Montalcino landed. This is Brunello at its deep, complex, majestic finest. Wine Spectator honored it with…
Talley’s Chardonnay Outlier Steals the Show We sell a lot of Chardonnay here at Wine Access, from case-buy offers perfect for everyday sipping to the kind of cellar-worthy standouts that can evolve for decades. Which makes it that much more remarkable that the Talley estate-grown Chardonnay is the #1 rated under-$40 Chard in Wine Access…
Iconic Pinot From Arroyo Grande’s Premier Producer You can’t have a conversation about Central Coast Pinot Noirs without talking about Talley. From their vineyards in the Arroyo Grande Valley, you can smell the salty air from the Pacific and watch the fog swirl into their vineyards, blanketing each vine in a protective layer of cool…
Napa Cabernet Courtesy of Benoit Touquette It doesn’t matter that we’ve known winemaker Benoit Touquette for nearly a decade, or that he’s crafted a whopping nine 100-point wines from Napa authority Robert Parker. Wine Access members are what keep his Teeter Totter Cabernet on top—literally. In the past two years, it’s raked in heaps of…
Benoit Touquette has arrived at an almost unimaginable pinnacle as a Napa winemaker, authoring eight 100-point wines for Realm in the last three vintages alone. Benoit learned by working alongside Andy Erickson—sharing responsibilities in the famed cellars of Screaming Eagle, Dalla Valle, Arietta, and Ovid. The tiny-production Teeter Totter Chardonnay is his own project—a wine…
Santa Barbara’s Master of Balance Since 2007, no Syrah-maker on the coast has garnered more 94- to 99-point scores from Robert Parker and Antonio Galloni — not Colgin, Alban, Turley, or Sine Qua Non — than Joey Tensley. We just got our hands on this 2016 “All Blocks,” a red blend of 100% estate fruit,…
