Simply the Best

Believe it or not, these are some of the hardest emails to write. After all, what more can be said about DRC? It’s arguably the most sought-after wine in the world—but you probably already knew that. Then there’s Château Latour, a First Growth for over 170 years, and one of the pillars of Bordeaux excellence. Today’s theme is a handpicked collection of nothing but the best—more than a dozen wines with perfect 100-point scores, and plenty more that come breathtakingly close.

We’re starting under the radar, with a trio of gems from Keller, along with most of the 2021 lineup from Kinsman-Eades—arguably Napa’s hottest producer of the past five years. While we’re in Napa, don’t miss the incredibly rare magnum of MacDonald, as well as a quartet of Shafer Hillside Select magnums. And yes, there’s also a trio of Screaming Eagle vintages and a pair of Flight to round things out.

Switching gears from Cabernet, we’re also featuring a duo of 100-point Kongsgaard Judge Chardonnays.

On to Bordeaux: a treasure trove of profound wines, including triple-digit-rated 2022s that are in stock and ready to ship. Add in some impeccably cellared back vintages from First and Second Growths, and you’ve got a concise but complete Bordeaux offering. Burgundy icons span from excellent current releases to bottles with 20+ years of age, with values like d’Angerville and Lafarge, all the way up to the legendary DRC.

And if you’re into mature Rhône, we’re closing with a trio of Beaucastel’s Hommage à Jacques Perrin—just one more reason to explore this list.
