Rank 1
91/100
Standout
A Cabernet with a clear varietal line: cassis and cedar stay identifiable from the aroma through a long finish. The flavor is still easy to recall, and the glass is one to pour again.
Rank 2
91/100
Standout
A powerful, expressive Pinot Noir with dark red fruit, pronounced tannin, and an unusually persistent finish. The frame is still thin, but the wine has aroma, depth, and enough structure to make the compromise feel worthwhile.
Rank 3
89/100
Standout
A distinctive, composed red whose appeal lies in finesse and balance. The fruit feels complete, and it persists.
Rank 4
89/100
Standout
An expressive nonalcoholic Pinot Noir with convincing wine character. Thin texture limits its fullness, but the lasting flavor makes it a strong example of the category.
Rank 5
Rank 6
89/100
Standout
A shortlist sparkling rosé. The fruit stays named and tart through a medium-long close. A pretty pink aroma would not be enough, and this is more than that.
Rank 7
88/100
Standout
The vinous bouquet carries it. Soft acidity leaves the off-dry fruit easy rather than taut, the close stays clean, and it is worth pouring again.
Rank 8
88/100
Standout
Rose petal is the point, not a red-berry stand-in. Off-dry orchard fruit and lemon sit on bright acid and a fine mousse. Light, composed, and the finish is where it earns.
Rank 9
88/100
Standout
A well-balanced nonalcoholic red with convincing weight, dark-berry character and lasting fruit. Its combination of substance, fresh acidity and gentle tannin makes it a strong example of the category.
Rank 10
88/100
Standout
Refined and well balanced: lively citrus and acidity meet a rounded, buttery character. The supple texture and progression from tart fruit to a softer finish give this Chardonnay definition.
Rank 11
Rank 12
88/100
Standout
The most complete Oddbird still white in this tasting: floral citrus and tropical fruit with honey–cardamom lift, then a long dry-leaning, lightly spicy close. Complexity without the sugar trap.

Oddbird GSM
89/100
0.0% ABV
One of the more convincing dealcoholized reds in the cellar: dark berries and savory spice, real tannin, and a dry earthy close. Not heavy — but it drinks like a southern French blend, not juice.

Luminara Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon
91/100
<0.5% ABV
A Cabernet with a clear varietal line: cassis and cedar stay identifiable from the aroma through a long finish. The flavor is still easy to recall, and the glass is one to pour again.

How these lists are chosen
What was evaluated
Ranked from 234 tasted wines, highest score first. Research-only products are excluded. Updated November 2026.
Who qualifies
The same score follows the more recent tasting. A shortcut uses that order for one narrower question.
What the score is rewarding
Acid, a recognizable style, and a finish that is not only sweetness. The score is how the glass tasted.
What tends to go wrong
Sweetness standing in for the body alcohol used to give. A nonalcoholic label whose residual is only a ceiling. A wine-shaped bottle that was never wine.
