Check out the best wines from previous years here! As 2025 comes to a close, we’re taking the opportunity to reflect on the most compelling, eye-opening, and exceptional wines we’ve tasted this year at VinePair HQ. And as is true each year, while tasting through hundreds of wines to compile this list, some themes inevitably start to emerge. It’s evident from this year’s rankings that wines from Oregon continue to make an impression. But not just the state’s famed silky Pinot Noirs (though the list does include its fair share of those).
