You are here: Home > Wine Spectator's Top 100 Wines


This year, Wine Spectator editors reviewed more than 17,000 wines from around the world in blind tastings. Out of the more than 17,000 wines,  they had the difficult task of selecting only a mere 100 for their annual list. They select the wines based on four criteria: quality, value, availability, and what they call "excitement."

While many wines have sold out (although we're likely to have the next available vintage) and a few have not yet been released by the wineries, we  have some great assortment of currently available wines of the year. So build your cellar or give a high quality gift; taste and purchase these TOP 100 wines from Wine Spectator before they are gone. Quantities are limited.

90 Points & Rank #90 Top 100 Wines of 2010 - Wine Spectator Magazine (2007 vintage):
"Very ripe and very primal still, delivering a large core of velvety-textured raspberry, fig and boysenberry fruit that is liberally laced with dark toast, pastis and roasted vanilla. Should settle in nicely with modest cellaring, as the structure is dense, but polished and integrated. Drink now through 2011. 61,000 cases imported." –JM (7/31/2010)

93 Points - Wine Spectator Magazine:
"This has density without excess weight, showing a real depth to its cherry, cinnamon, almond and cedar flavors, lingering against crisp tannins. Impressive for its deft balance and the way the finish sneaks up on you. Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Malbec. Best from 2013 through 2016. 2,200 cases made." –HS (Nov 30, 2011)

"A sleek, pristine red, with vibrant acidity behind its cherry, strawberry and mineral aromas and flavors. The oak shows a light touch, and this resonates on the lively finish. Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Best from 2013 through 2022. 12,500 cases made." –BS (Oct 15, 2011)

CASE PRICE = $58.99 per bottle (add 12+ quantity to your basket)
92 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate:
"The 2007 Solengo (30% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Petit Verdot, 20% Syrah) is sleek and refined in its blackberries, blueberries, grilled herbs, spices and graphite. The wine reveals gorgeous length and fine balance in a relatively accessible, mid-weight style for this bottling. The 2007 doesn’t appear to have the structure of the 2006 and it should be enjoyed over the next decade, give or take. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2019." - Antonio Galloni (Apr 2010)

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate:
"The 2009 Il Ghizzano is a delicious, entry-level wine laced with sweet red fruit, crushed flowers and spices. There is plenty of warm, radiant fruit to ensure fine drinking over the next few years. Best of all, Il Ghizzano is a terrific value. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2014" - Antonio Galloni (Aug 2011)

The 2007 Vintage was Rank #89 - Wine Spectator's Top 100 Wines of 2009

90-93 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate:
"A blend of equal parts Grenache and Syrah, the 2009 Perrin et Fils Cotes du Rhone Villages Vinsobres Les Cornuds reveals abundant aromas of crushed rocks, spring flowers and blue as well as black fruits in its darker, more cool climate style. It is completely different from the Grenache-dominated wines from the warmer climates of Cairanne, Rasteau, Vacqueyras or Gigondas. The impressive, deep, rich Vinsobres Les Cornuds comes from high elevation (400 feet) vineyards, and should easily age for 10 years." —Robert Parker (Oct 2010)

91 Points & "Smart Buy" - Wine Spectator Magazine:
"Still tightly wound, with an almost bracing violet note leading the way for dark plum and blackberry fruit, ending
with a flash of pastis on the finish, where a tangy iron edge holds sway. Should settle in nicely with modest cellaring. Drink now through 2016. 2,500 cases imported." —J.M. (Jan 31, 2011)

"The 2008 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano shows lovely intensity in its dark fruit, grilled herbs, licorice and earthiness. This, too, is another feminine, graceful wine with gorgeous length and a polished, harmonious personality. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2015." - Antonio Galloni (8/2011)

Rank #100 - Wine Spectator's Top 100 Wines of 2011
Rank #100 Top 100 Wines of 2011 & 96 Points - Wine Spectator Magazine:
"Gorgeous from the start, delivering mulled spice, mocha, blueberry, black tea, plum sauce and warm currant confiture aromas and flavors all woven together, carried by a long spice- and graphite-filled finish. This has weight, but stays driven thanks to finely beaded acidity. A beauty. The best vintage yet for this wine. Malbec. Drink now through 2022. 275 cases made." –JM (Aug 31, 2011)
