As October draws to a close and the season deepens, this week’s roundup celebrates the enduring icons of the wine world, bottles that command reverence and reward patience. From Burgundy’s rarest expressions to Napa’s most coveted single vineyards, these selections are benchmarks of excellence.

Featured highlights include the transcendent DRC La Tâche 2022, a masterpiece of precision and grace; the monumental Penfolds Grange (Bin 95) 2012, a powerhouse that continues to define Australian luxury; and the compelling Tor Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon 2021, a modern Napa classic drawn from one of California’s most hallowed vineyards.

And while we’re talking icons, what remains of the legendary Weiss Cellar is now available. First unveiled earlier this month, this remarkable collection from renowned collector Craig Weiss set a new standard for provenance and prestige. With much of the cellar already claimed by discerning buyers, a handful of extraordinary bottles still await their next chapter and are ready to ship.

Whether you’re refining a collection or seeking that defining bottle for the season ahead, these are the wines that stand above time.
