Over the last few days, Wine Spectator magazine has done its annual slow reveal of the Top 10 wines from the Wine Spectator Top 100 list. And this year, when the No. 1 wine came up today, it wasn’t a Bordeaux, a California Cabernet, a Spanish Rioja or an Italian Barolo.

The shocker is that it’s a wine from Portugal — and a port.Wine Spectator’s No. 1 wine this year is Dow’s Vintage Port 2011. Here\'s what the magazine’s judges have to say about it: “In 2011, port surged to remarkable heights of quality, with some vintners declaring it the best vintage in 50 years. The Dow’s Vintage Port 2011 was the highest-scoring wine of the vintage at 99 points, or \'classic\' on Wine Spectator\'s 100-point scale. It is a fine value for its category at $82 a bottle, and 5,000 cases were made."
