James Suckling Selects the United States’ Top 100 Wines What’s unusual about JamesSuckling.com’s 2024 Top 100 Wines of the US listing is that the number-one pick is neither a cabernet sauvignon nor a chardonnay, but a beautiful, affordable merlot.

Along with his colleague Aldo Fiordelli, James Suckling returns to Bolgheri, the Tuscan coastal region he first visited 38 years ago. There they tasted almost 200 wines, mostly from the 2021 and 2022 vintages. It’s been 38 years since I first travelled to Bolgheri to report on a new winery, Ornellaia, that’s now one of the leading names in this coastal region of Tuscany, and ever since I’ve had a soft spot for the area’s wines, especially the reds.

In fact, I’d need to go back to 2014 to remember something as middle-of-the road as this.
