The Top 100 brings together our annual picks for the most exciting wines blind-tasted over the past year, culminating in our Wine of the Year. In 2024, we honor Viña Don Melchor Cabernet Sauvignon Puente Alto Puente Alto Vineyard 2021—an exemplary Chilean bottle with a powerful story to tell.

Plus, our annual tasting report on the wines of Australia, a wine focus on sparkling wines from the United States and a retrospective tasting of premium South African dessert wines.
