Top 100 Wines 2015 This year, Wine Enthusiast’s tasting panel reviewed more than 19,800 wines from around the globe, spanning Old World and New World wine regions alike. In the last two issues, we celebrated wine with excellent quality-to-price ratios (Top 100 Best Buys) as well as those cellar-worthy options that need a bit of rest before they’re best enjoyed (Top 100 Cellar Selections). So now comes the show stopper: The Enthusiast 100. This yearly roundup of the best-of-the-best showcases the incredible diversity of high-scoring wines on the market. Each was chosen for a myriad of reasons, including high quality-to-price ratios, good market availability and “buzz,” an x-factor that can’t be precisely defined. The wines span 16 countries, hitting every wine style imaginable—from dry whites and reds to sparklers, rosés and sweet wines.

With an average rating of 93.84 and an average price of $38.55, this collection is sure to be your go-to list the next time you hit thewine shop. Stock up on what you can find now, since these winners will be snapped up fast. Here’s to another fabulous year of savoring the best in the glass. UPDATE: Nov. 14, 2016 at 5:11 p.m. ESTThe award-winning bottle we've all been waiting to hit stores is now available in more than 500 Walmart locations across the U.S. The bottle, retailing for $6.96, beat out 16,000 other entries in blind taste tests and scored a 95 out of 100, making it the only wine you should be serving this Thanksgiving.Heck, you might as well stock up and give it to coworkers, Secret Santas, and holiday part hosts. ORIGINAL POST: June 14, 2016 at 5:38 p.m. ESTWhen I shop for a bottle of wine, I typically have one thing in mind: price. (Bonus points if the bottle has a cool label.) Which is why so many of us flock to Wal-Mart for booze. But, let's face it, when you spend a few bucks on a bottle, you're not expecting fireworks on your palate.

(Which is exactly what all of these summer rosés could do.)Turns out, one of the budget-friendly reds that Wal-Mart's UK grocery chain, Asda, sells just earned a crazy-prestigious Platinum Best in Show at the Decanter World Wine Awards. Tested by a panel of 240 global wine experts, La Moneda Reserva Malbec was reported to be "an absolute crowd-pleaser" with a strong "succulent juicy berry" flavor.

I would rather pay more for good food than settle for something cheaper, even if it’s edible. The same applies to wine. Made on a giant scale, wine for the most part is a commodity, sound but uninteresting. Made on a smaller scale, with an eye toward quality, wine becomes a labor of love, with more personality and character than what’s rolled out in the millions of bottles.
best wine descriptions everIs this equation always true?
best wine for fishMore than a million bottles of the Juvé y Camps cava on my list are produced annually. But it is true more often than not.The sorts of wines I’ve selected, which speak of a place and express a culture, generally cost more. They require more sweat to produce and more investment financially and emotionally. Their value is in the soul they radiate. If you love wine, it’s a price worth paying.

Finding these wines requires looking on the margins. You won’t find bottles from the most prestigious regions on this list. But it’s worth departing from the main highways of wine. In wine and in life, the best discoveries are often on the back roads. Eminence Road Farm Winery Seneca Lake Riesling 2012 $20The Finger Lakes region of New York has become the great American source for fine rieslings. The wines of Eminence Road Farm Winery are practically handmade, unfiltered with as few additions as possible. The 2012 riesling is a bit cloudy and will leave some sediment at the bottom of the glass, but it’s an earthy, gravelly delight, gentle and balanced. Jochen Beurer Württemberg Riesling Trocken 2013 $19Outside of the Rhine and Mosel areas, Americans are largely unfamiliar with other German wine regions, like Württemberg in the southwest, near Stuttgart. In Germany, it’s better known for red wine, but this riesling, grown on limestone soils, is simply beautiful: stony, chalky and floral.

(Selection Massale, San Leandro, Calif.) Peter Lauer Saar Riesling ‘Barrel X’ 2013 $18“Barrel X” is the entry-level riesling of Peter Lauer, which has become something of a cult producer. Its wines are precise and jewel-like, and this one is no different, rocky on the palate with an almost razor-like focus and just the most tender touch of residual sugar. (Vom Boden/T. Elenteny Imports, New York) Geil Rheinhessen Muskateller Trocken 2013 $17Muskateller is German for muscat blanc à petits grains, the classic muscat grape, one of the oldest, most aromatic and least appreciated varieties. This is a perfect little touch of springtime in a glass, lively and floral, well balanced and refreshing. (A Terry Theise Selection/Skurnik Wines, New York)Domaine de la Pépière Muscadet Sèvre et Maine sur Lie Clos des Briords Cuvée Vieilles Vignes 2013 $20 The dense minerality of this wine is extraordinary. It’s a brilliant Muscadet, full of energy, delicious now but a wine that will age for years.

Producers like Pépière are changing minds about Muscadet. If you still think it’s simply a light quaffing wine, try this and reconsider. (Louis/Dressner Selections, New York) Pheasant’s Tears Kakheti Rkatsiteli 2011 $19 This unusual wine, made from the ancient rkatsiteli grape, comes from the republic of Georgia, a cradle of winemaking history. It is fermented and aged in a qvevri, a traditional clay vessel lined with beeswax and buried in the earth. The result is a deep amber wine with a raspy texture, steely and full-bodied, with aromas and flavors of apples, herbs and nuts. (Terrell Wines, San Francisco)Shinn Estate North Fork of Long Island Sauvignon Blanc ‘First Fruit’ 2013 $18Shinn Estate is one of my favorite Long Island producers. Its wines always seem alive in the glass, energetic and full of pleasure, and this sauvignon blanc is no different. It’s light and tangy, almost succulent, with fresh fruit flavors. It’s called “First Fruit” because its sauvignon blanc grapes are the first to be harvested each year.

Birichino Monterey Malvasia Bianca 2012 $18You don’t see much malvasia from California, even though the grape was introduced to the state by Italian immigrants in the 19th century. Malvasia Bianca is actually one of many grapes, not necessarily related, that go by the malvasia name. This one is focused and bold, with bright, bracing, fresh fruit flavors that linger. Angiolino Maule Rosso del Veneto I.G.T. Masieri 2013 $17Angiolino Maule makes wines almost as naturally as possible. Aside from a minimal amount of sulfur dioxide as a preservative, ingredients include grapes only, mostly merlot with some cabernet sauvignon. It’s the Bordeaux formula, but this wine, from the Veneto, is very different, lively and precise with earthy flavors of red fruit. Pierre-Marie Chermette Domaine du Vissoux Beaujolais Cuvée Traditionnelle Vieilles Vignes 2013 $17In the old days, before Beaujolais Nouveau became a phenomenon, good Beaujolais was like this: fresh with aromas and flavors of red and black fruits, slightly bitter and entirely refreshing.

In a word: joyous. Nowadays, when we have great cru Beaujolais to choose from, I’m glad we also have simply delicious bottles like this. Perfect to drink in a tumbler. Domaine de la Chevalerie Bourgueil ‘Diptyque Dernier Cri’ 2012 $16Wine writers perennially seem to urge consumers to seek great values among the red wines of the Loire Valley, generally to little effect. Let’s try this: Everybody should avoid this beautifully balanced, energetic wine, full of the aromas and flavors of minerals and dark fruits. Why would anybody want to drink a wine like this? (Fruit of the Vines, New York)Musar Jeune Bekaa Valley of Lebanon 2010 $18 This is not the great, idiosyncratic, long-lived red of Chateau Musar. It’s a less expensive wine made to be drunk young. Even so, it’s really good, spicy and earthy, with a flavor that seems to combine dark fruits and soy. It’s made primarily of cinsault, with some syrah and cabernet sauvignon blended in. Better a taste of Musar that stands well on its own than no Musar at all.

(Broadbent Selections, San Francisco) Juvé y Camps Cava Brut Nature Reserva de la Familia 2010 $18 No matter what the season, we must have sparkling wine. Cava, mostly from the Penedès region of northeastern Spain, is made in the same manner as Champagne, but with different grapes. Good versions, like this one from Juvé y Camps, can be great values. It’s crisp, bone dry, almost cloudlike, with aromas of herbs and anise. Pont de Gassac Pays d’Hérault Selection Guibert 2012 $16This entry-level bottle from Mas de Daumas Gassac, one of the leading producers of the Languedoc, is a superb value. It’s juicy and agile, with a welcome tannic bite and a bit of bitterness that refreshes. The blend is half cabernet sauvignon, 30 percent merlot and 20 percent syrah. (Polaner Selections, Mount Kisco, N.Y.)Bedrock California Shebang Eighth Cuvée $15This modern facsimile of an old-time California field blend, made from multiple vineyards and multiple vintages, is spicy and savory and just plain delicious.

Unlike many inexpensive California wines, it’s not sweet, oak-flavored or simple. You could call it an inexpensive adult wine, not especially complex but great for burgers, sausages and pizza. Frontón de Oro Gran Canaria Tinto 2012 $16This red, from Gran Canaria in the Canary Islands, is not without tannins. Though its flavors of red fruits and herbs are somewhat restrained, it is robust enough to stand up to a steak. Made from the listán negro grape. (David Bowler Wine, New York) Cavallotto Langhe Freisa 2011 $20Freisa is a relative of the nebbiolo grape, and it has marked similarities. In fact, you could easily mistake the mouth-coating tannins and aromas and flavors of licorice and flowers for nebbiolo, though it doesn’t have the same depth or complexity. Still, this wine, made by a superb Langhe producer, is a graceful, delicious gem. (Skurnik Wines, New York)Rainoldi Valtellina Superiore Grumello 2010 $18 Valtellina, in the north of Italy near the border of Lombardy and Switzerland, offers an alternative expression of nebbiolo, from the mountains.
