Penner-Ash
2022 Chardonnay Willamette Valley
92 Points Michael Cervin, IntoWine.com A

When Penner-Ash started in 1998, the goal was to focus on Pinot Noir. They added Chardonnay (and an excellent Viognier) and over the years the Chardonnay has hit its stride. This 2022 iteration offers light apricot, guava, green apple, Asian pear, mild honeysuckle, and a hint of fresh wildflowers. It holds in the palate nicely, lingering a while before the next sip. The bright acidity holds up to its ageing program of a scant 10 months in barrel with 41% of those being new French oak barrels. This allows for a foundation of tactile mouth feel and structure to the wine. The fruit was sourced from three vineyard sites across the Willamette Valley: Gran Moraine Vineyard in Yamhill-Carlton, Jory Hills Vineyard in Dundee, and Zena Crown Vineyard in the Eola-Amity Hills. Therefore this Chardonnay truly is an expression of some of the best vineyards Willamette has to offer. ORIGIN: Willamette Valley, Oregon. ALCOHOL: 13.5%.

Gran Moraine
NV NV Brut Rosé
Liz Thatch, Forbes

If you love rosé, this is an excellent sparkler to seek out. Brimming with notes of fresh strawberry and raspberry on the nose, it opens on the palate to bright cherry cordial with a touch of orange peel, and a dry tart cherry finish. Very refreshing, and with a medium-body, it can stand up to heartier food dishes. Made from pinot noir, chardonnay and pinot meunier, aged 3 years in bottle. $60, 0.5%RS (dry).

Lokoya
2022 Mount Veeder Cabernet Sauvignon
99 Points Jim Gordon, JamesSuckling.com

A magnificent wine that's built for long-term aging, with the intensity and tannin of a Pauillac. So dark and dense in black cherries, blackcurrants, dried blueberries, bittersweet chocolate, spearmint and creme de cassis. It's firm and layered from the first sip to the last, lingering long, with cocoa and mint in the finish. The firmest and most structured of the Lokoya lineup. Best from 2035.

Lokoya
2022 Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon
98 Points Jim Gordon, JamesSuckling.com

This is so luscious, ripe and gorgeous that you don't notice the massive, fine-grained tannins until the finish. A truly rich, fruity, opulent and delicious wine that also has a firm, sneaky texture from the powdery-fine tannins and some red fruit acidity. Black cherries, baked blackberries, creme de cassis, spearmint and cocoa. 100% of the grapes come from the W. S. Keyes Vineyard. Drinkable now, but best from 2035.

Lokoya
2022 Spring Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon
98 Points Jim Gordon, JamesSuckling.com

A beauty that's muscular but elegant. So pure and focused in blackcurrants, creme de cassis, red cherries and dark chocolate. It comes from two vineyards, Wurtele and Yverdon, that go up to 580 meters in elevation. The wine opens with opulent fruit and a smooth entry, then the tannins engage and grip the palate while the flavors expand through the finish. Drinkable now, but best from 2030.

La Jota
2022 W.S. Keyes Vineyard Merlot
98 Points Jim Gordon, JamesSuckling.com

A spicy, dark chocolaty wine that's well-structured and packed with black fruit and a melange of spices. Blended with 14% petit verdot, which adds tannin and savory black pepper accents. It's concentrated and well layered, with fine-grained tannins that are nicely balanced by acidity. Drink now or hold.

Cardinale
2022 Cabernet Sauvignon
98 Points Jim Gordon, JamesSuckling.com

So velvety, sleek, layered and composed, it's a treat to drink now or save for later. Enjoy the complexity of a wine blended from 25 to 30 lots of mountain and valley floor sites up and down the reach of Napa Valley. Red and black fruit notes give some of the delicious fruitiness of Rutherford, while mountain grapes from Atlas Peak and cooler-climate grapes from the Stags Leap district add their own subtleties. Drink or hold.

Yangarra Estate Vineyard
2023 Kings Wood Shiraz
97 Points Jim Gordon, JamesSuckling.com

The nose is incredibly complex and deeply scented, with aromas of blood plums, cured meat, mulberries, blueberry bush and dried herbs. The palate is full-bodied with seamless tannins and bright acidity, giving tightly wound notes of cherry confit, iodine, ferric earth, mocha and a slight metallic finish. Exceptionally well constructed, with years ahead of it to integrate. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

Yangarra Estate Vineyard
2023 Roux Beauté Roussanne

Wonderfully complex and enticing notes of Meyer lemons, honeysuckle, orange blossoms and talcum powder.

A very complex and finely integrated wine with a fresh backbone. Excellent. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

Mt. Brave
2022 Merlot Mt. Veeder
97 Points Jim Gordon, JamesSuckling.com

One of the most structured, focused and intense merlots in Napa Valley. So laced with super-fine-grained tannins, it’s pointed, precise, linear and concentrated.

Mt. Brave
2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Mt. Veeder
97 Points Jim Gordon, JamesSuckling.com

So massive and concentrated, pure and saturated, structured and long. A showcase of the Spring Mountain AVA's firmness, richness and depth.

Drinkable now, but best from 2030.

Caladan
2022 Cabernet Franc
97 Points Jim Gordon, JamesSuckling.com

A masterful blend of grapes from diverse parts of Napa Valley that winemaker Chris Carpenter conceived in the spirit of the Right Bank of Bordeaux. It is plush, mouth-filling and gorgeous in black fruit and intricate spices, chocolaty, yet with with a firm backbone of velvety tannins. Grapes come from four different mountains around Napa Valley, but it’s dominated by Spring Mountain fruit. Drinkable now, but best from 2030.
