Kay Brothers's top wine, made from over 120-year-old vines on this historic estate, is a dense thicket of ripe bramble berries still on the bush. There's also a strong exotic savory element: soy sauce, raw beef and Chinese 5 spice. Earthy eastern spices carry through to the palate which is supported by chewy, tight-grained tannins. Everything is in place for this to age with grace for many years to come. Drink now with a rare salt-encrusted steak or cellar for the next 20 years. Christina Pickard

What Is Blind Tasting?

All tastings reported in the Buying Guide are performed blind. Typically, products are tasted in peer-group flights of from 5-8 samples. Reviewers may know general information about a flight to provide context—vintage, variety or appellation—but never the producer or retail price of any given selection. When possible, products considered flawed or uncustomary are retasted.
