In this issue, Wine Spectator celebrates the legacy and future of Opus One, a groundbreaking estate that brought California Cabernet into the spotlight almost half a century ago and is still leading the way with winemaking innovations in the region. With the release of the 2022 vintage for California Cabernet, this issue explores the ups and downs that still affect even the most elite varietals as well as how both winemakers and consumers can navigate the market.
Read editor and publisher Marvin R. Shanken’s introduction to the Nov. 15, 2025, issue, which includes senior editor Bruce Sanderson’s most recent tasting report on the white wines of Burgundy and our annual global values report highlighting top choices for smart buys around the world.
