Wines rated by Wine Spectator

Wines rated by Wine Spectator – American expertise at the service of great wines

Welcome to our Wine Spectator-rated wines collection, dedicated to wines that have received high marks from the renowned American magazine. Founded in 1976, Wine Spectator is now one of the most influential publications in the wine world, followed by millions of readers and collectors worldwide.

Wine Spectator: an international reference

The magazine publishes thousands of wine reviews each year, featuring wines from around the world, written by a team of experienced tasters. Tastings are conducted blind or in the cellar, following a rigorous methodology. Wines are rated out of 100 points, with those scoring 90/100 or higher considered "outstanding," and those scoring over 95/100 considered "classic."

The evaluation criteria include:

• Organoleptic quality (aromas, structure, length on the palate)
• The wine's unique characteristics depend on the grape variety and the terroir.
• Storage potential and overall balance
