The world of wine is too vast for any one person to know all its secrets, when it comes to especially tracking down the best bargains. So, we called in Wine Spectator's team of editors for the second year in a row to select the top values of the past 12 months. This is an extension of our regular coverage of values in the magazine and at WineSpectator.com, highlighting delicious, affordable bottlings that overdeliver on quality for the price.
Wines that are easy on your wallet offer an ideal entry point for a region or variety, giving you an opportunity for exploration without breaking the bank. The thrill of trying something new is one of the many pleasures of wine, and as quality has risen across the globe, it's easier than ever to find a wine you love. This means that well-priced wines from California to Italy to Argentina offer some of the special qualities that distinguish their pricier counterparts.
This list of the Top 10 Values of 2022 is capped by our choice for Wine Value of the Year. All of the wines on this list rated 90 points or higher on Wine Spectator's 100-point scale, cost $40 or less and were made in largeenough quantities to be widely available. We hope you'll find a new everyday favorite on this list or start along a new path of discovery
#1 WINE VALUE OF THE YEAR
BEAULIEU VINEYARD
Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2019
92 points | $33 | 44,700 cases made
It’s not uncommon for a winery to produce an expensive, blue-chip bottling as well as an affordable, accessible offering. Yet in some of the world’s most rarefied wine regions, where many prices start in the triple digits, these lower-priced tiers of wines are becoming scarcer from top producers. Such is the case in Napa Valley.
