A good year for Rioja and Spain in general. Spain comes in at number one on this list and Riojas, Bierzos, even a sherry share the limelight. Paso Robles gets its due, including Turley, a cult favorite for many years. Not surprisingly, a lot of big American reds score high marks, including Quilceda, Hewitt, Lewis and a syrah from Walla.
Tuscany has several winners, and the top Bordeaux wines are somewhat surprising. The bargain American is Bedrock Heritage from Sonoma, a blend of 21 grapes. Top Chardonnays include Hamilton Russell from South Africa and Failla from Sonoma.
