Wine Spectator's Top 100 Wines of 2009
Each year, Wine Spectator editors survey the wines they've reviewed over the past 12 months and select the most exciting for the Wine Spectator Top 100. In 2009, they reviewed more than 17,000 new releases from around the world in blind tastings. More than 3,800 of these wines earned outstanding ratings (90 points or higher). The list is narrowed based on four criteria: quality (represented by score); value (reflected by release price); availability (measured by case produced or imported); and an X-factor they call excitement. But no equation determines the final selections: These choices reflect the editors' judgment and passion about the wines they tasted.
Wine Enthusiast Top 100 Wines of 2009
Each year, the editors of Wine Enthusiast compile the list of their favorite wines of the year. While most featured have received high scores from our critics, many go far beyond the numbers assigned to them, either for their extraordinary quality-to-price value, their immediate drinkability, or their uniqueness. All are diverse and offer a window into the terroir from which they were made. And perhaps most importantly, all are available in the U.S. market.
We also strive to consider newsworthiness or excitement factor, and whether a wine represents notable trends in the wine market. This year’s Number One wine is a prime example: Pinot Noir being the buzz wine of the past few years, Cambria combines high quality with a reasonable price and is made in sufficient quantities as to be generally available.
Within the limits of what we tasted over the past year, we’ve tried to include wines that not only represent many different regions and grape varieties, but also vary in style. You’ll find wines from all the major wine-producing countries across the full spectrum of grape varieties in sparkling and still, table, dessert and fortified wines. One of the things we value most in the wine world is diversity, and this is one way of applauding it.
Note: Wines listed are in limited quantities and may sell out at any time. Please contact us directly if you are looking for an item that is not listed for it’s availability and price.
