We’ve followed this oak-aged Champagne since its first release, and never has it been more luxuriously delicious than in this year’s model.

From 25 year-old Tempranillo vines nearly 1,000 feet above sea level, this is luxurious and fresh gem was named one of the top 5 wines of Spain by Wine Spectator in 2023. The Wine Enthusiast 96 point review captures it nicely:... Read More

One of the greatest wood Sherry's we've ever tasted, this is what happens when the flor on Amontillado dies early and lets the wine darken to Oloroso levels - and then gets aged for 30 years in American oak cask. A lovely... Read More

From Thomas Jefferson's time forward, one of the world's greatest wines. A bit more Sauvignon than usual in 2013 gives a touch of citrus to the broad, layered, flavors. As Wine Spectator says in the 98 point praise, Lightly... Read More

A stunning wine aged in cask for 60+ years before bottling more recently. Widly complex aromas and flavors of candied nuts, brine, candied lemon peels, and a squirt of blood orange with rich sweetness and a brisk, mouthwatering,... Read More

Believe it or not, this now 60 year-old wine is even better once it’s aired out a bit and delivers delight for 12+ weeks after opening if kept a little cool (the “+” is because we’ve never had a bottle... Read More

766 bottles (63 cases) made. “Quasi Centenaria” roughly translates to “about 100 years old,” a reference to this gnarly old Carignan vineyard planted right around 1919. The vines grow on two steep, rock-covered,... Read More

The La Vallee Suspendue is intended to be a synthesis, not only of both sides of the river but also of vintages current and past. It's equal parts Meunier from Mardeuil, Fleury-la-Rivière and Damery plus 15% Pinot Noir... Read More

Organic/Bio At the very top of San Lorenzo, at 750 meters elevation, almost too high to be “Etna Rosso,” Russo farms a 0.7HA plot of vines planted in the early 1940s. Originally they were trained on traditional albarello... Read More

Organic/Bio Way back in Dom Perignon’s times, the hills from Bouzy to Ambonnay were rated among Champagne’s best for deep red wine and both were among the last to move to sparkling wine production as their main activity.... Read More

A very grand Charmes-Chambertin delivering the perfect balance of power and finesse.

The Jacquesson Cuvee 746 is perhaps a touch more concentrated than most 2018-base bottlings, but still wide open and delicious for the blend of golden fruit, citrus and toast flavors that arrive with panache and linger nicely.... Read More

Precise, toasty, sexy. James Suckling's 95 point review tells the tale here: This a special bottling of 1.2 to 1.5 kilos of grapes per vine, all chardonnay vinified separately, having calculated the perfect kilo-per-vine balance... Read More

A stunning blend of 51% Merlot, 42% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Cabernet Franc, and 2% Petit Verdot from Ballard Canyon on California’s Central Coast. In 2019, you’ll be struck by how intense and even tight the wine is... Read More

Robin Lail grew up in the vines at Inglenook where her dad, John Daniels, created benchmark Cabernet through the mid-1960s. This honors his contributions in a grand wine of excellent intensity and depth. As Wine Advocate says... Read More

Anywhere Cabernet Sauvignon thrives, its Bordeaux stablemate, Sauvignon Blanc, will probably shine as well. But Robin Lail is one of the first in Napa willing to let Sauvignon Blanc shine on a truly prime site. The result is one... Read More

Organic/Bio Lower ABV Morgeot’s relatively heavy, warmer, soils helped mitigate 2021’s April frost damage and then drive lovely ripening in a cool, crisp, year. This opens with very pure, lifted, scents of crisp pear,... Read More

Our favorite wine from the fantastic 2019 Brunello vintage combines the rich fruit and power of this warm vintage with the elegance and purity of a unique sandy-soil site in the northern part of the zone. The critics’ reviews... Read More

This is a library relase (Summer 2023) that's fully mature although certainly has plenty of time to go. Mayacamus is famous for age-worthy wines, and this certainly proves the point. As Wine Spectator said in their 2023 review... Read More

Organic/Bio As the double 97 point and one 98 point review suggest, this is one of the legendary Mayacamas Cabs. From the top of Mount Veeder, it marries terrific ripeness with true mountain vibrancy and structure and a finish... Read More

A stunning old barrel-aged Port in an equally stunning decanter-styled package. Maynard Ports come from members of the Van Zeller family, former owners of Quinta do Noval. All of the base wines for this blended wood Port were... Read More

Organic/Bio Not surprising that a Meo-Camuzet Vosne is terrific, but it is a delight to find one that's delicious now and over the next 10-15 years. As Vinous says in the 90-92+ review, from two hectares split over two parcels... Read More

Luc Morlet still consults at Peter Michael while making his own wine that sits right up there with Peter Michael in terms of quality and depth. This is a stunner, perfectly balancing richness of texture with bold fruit and deep... Read More

The narrow, steep-sided, pass between Valle d'Aosta and the rest of Italy is a silly place to grow grapes. But Roman troops stationed here needed something to drink, so they terraced the nearly vertical valley walls, built... Read More

We like Wine Spectator's description so much, we're going to use it here: Rich and bold up front, offering plenty of honeysuckle and spice notes. A drizzle of wildflower honey and a toast detail complement flavors of apricot... Read More

Owned by Archery Summit, Arcus is on Worden Hill Rd in the Dundee Hills near Maresh, Powell Hill, Weber, Clos Electrique and Le Pavillon. For years the vineyard name was kept off the label at the owners' request, so the sourcing... Read More
