The Best 12 Wines of the Year

Every year we taste hundreds of wines. We argue about them, revisit them, open second bottles to be sure. Then we make a call. The Best 12 Wines of the Year is our most considered and uncompromising edit — twelve bottles that stopped us in our tracks, earned the highest scores from the world's leading critics, and represent the very best of what fine wine can be right now. Spanning varieties, regions and price points, this is the collection we are most proud to put our name to. If you're looking for a place to start, or a reason to celebrate, start here.
