Tariff threats dominate the wine world this week as Trump's 90-day delay creates confusion, Wine Searcher lists winners and losers, and Canada's ban on U.S. alcohol slams exports. We feature Joseph Phelps Vineyards, their flagship Insignia and standard Cabernet, and a spotlight on Don Melchor 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon from Chile—plus a review of fine dining at Le Cirque in Las Vegas.

It's a premium week all around, but don't miss our wine of the week pick: a critically acclaimed 2021 Cab that lives up to the Wine Spectator hype.
