Fall 2026 Club Grand Reserve

The Spring 2026 Club Grand Reserve Allocation represents the crowning echelon of fine wine collection—an extraordinary assembly of rare cult classics, historic terroirs, and visionary artisans boasting an immaculate 98-point average critic score.

We begin in the Old World with Northern Rhône royalty: Stéphane Ogier’s 2016 Côte-Rôtie ‘Mes Grands Lieux’, an impeccably aged 98-point masterwork from the steep schist and granite terraces of Ampuis, radiating crushed violets, savory spice, and smoked mineral elegance. In the heart of Tuscany’s famed Conca d’Oro, biodynamic pioneer Castello dei Rampolla delivers the 2018 ‘d’Alceo’—a breathtaking, 99-point Super Tuscan colossus overflowing with graphite precision, pure cassis, and aristocratic depth. We then travel to the dramatic amphitheater slopes of Catalonia for Spectacle Vins’ 2020 ‘Espectacle del Montsant’, where centenarian bush-vine Garnacha yields an ethereal, 98-point symphony of wild red cherries, lavender, and haunting Mediterranean nuance.

Turning to the Southern Hemisphere and the New World, our expedition ventures to South Africa’s Swartland for Eben Sadie’s legendary 2023 Sadie Family ‘Palladius’, the undisputed benchmark of Cape white blends showcasing dazzling texture, stone fruit, and chalky tension. High in the Andes of Mendoza, we present the 2021 Nicolás Catena Zapata, the legendary Malbec-led icon that permanently elevated South American fine wine onto the global stage. Finally, we ascend the high-altitude volcanic benches of Napa Valley’s Howell Mountain for the 2019 La Jota Vineyard Co. ‘W.S. Keyes Vineyard’ Merlot—a monumental, 99-point mountain triumph boasting immense structure, velvety midnight fruit, and cellar longevity that rivals Pomerol’s finest.

Valued among the most prestigious allocations we have ever curated, this Grand Reserve lineup is a truly once-in-a-lifetime journey through the pinnacle of viticultural artistry.
