Ten Northwest Wines Make Wine Spectator's 2016 Top 100 List



Ten Northwest wines appear on Wine Spectator's 2016 Top 100 List released today. Two Oregon wines placed in the top 10, including Domaine Serene's 2014 Evenstad Reserve Chardonnay at number two and Beaux Frères' 2014 Ribbon Ridge Pinot Noir at number three. Walla Walla Valley's Reyvaan 2013 The Rocks Syrah came in at number 13 and was among three wines that earned the lists' top score of 97 points.

Each year since 1988, Wine Spectator has released its Top 100 list, where their editors select the most exciting wines from the thousands they reviewed during the course of the year. These wines are a diverse group-ranging from emerging labels and regions to traditional estates exploring new directions-and all generate the excitement they call the "X-factor," according to Wine Spectator

In addition, their selection prioritizes quality (based on score), value (based on price) and availability (based on the number of cases either made or imported into the United States). These criteria are applied to the wines that rated outstanding (90 points or higher on Wine Spectator's 100-point scale) each year to determine their Top 100.
