94+ Point Spanish Values

All Under $20

Priorat and its neighbor, Montsant, make some of the most profound wines in Spain, at prices that make them exceptionally good buys.  The deals we’re offering today, though, push the quality to price ratio beyond the rational: three wines, all under $20, all with 94 point or higher scores from a reviewer (Jeb Dunnuck) who used to work for the Advocate and isn’t known for score inflation.

The top two wines are part of the “Black Slate” project that Eric Solomon created to highlight different terroirs in Priorat.

Oregon’s Top Pinots

Continue to Arrive

Josh Raynold’s recent Oregon Pinot reviews have confirmed what we’ve been saying all along—our state makes some of the finest Pinot Noir in the word, especially when price is factored into the equation.  Simply put, the combination of high quality vintages and winemakers has turned the Willamette Valley into one of the best sources of top-flight wines we’ve found.  We highlighted a number of in-stock wines last week and today we’re focusing on an assortment of top wines arriving Friday.

New Rave Reviews for Oregon Favorites

“Two thousand sixteen is yet another link in an unprecedented chain of outstanding vintages in the Willamette Valley that began in 2014 and has now extended to 2018. Compared to the ‘14s and ‘15s, the ‘16s, while on the rich side for Pinot Noir, show more freshness than wines of the previous years at a similar stage.”

New Wine Spectator Insider Reviews for Produttori

“Produttori del Barbaresco recently released its 2014 range of Barbaresco riservas. The cooperative, founded in 1958, makes some of the best traditional-style wines in the region.
