Robert Parker Wine Advocate Reviewers' Choice: The 50 Best New Releases from 2015
1/5/2016
Dear Readers,
Happy New Year! Kicking-off 2016, the review team at Robert Parker Wine Advocate thought it would be fun to create a round-up list of our top wine picks from last year. Selected from the 30,000+ tasting notes published by our reviewers during the year, these were the most exciting new wine releases from 2015, based on absolute Quality, Singularity and Hedonistic / Intellectual appeal. In no particular order, these wines all represent the pinnacles of greatness while spanning a broad range of countries, regions, grapes and styles. Happy hunting!
Best wishes,
Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Editor-in-Chief
