Maggy Hawk
2022 Edmeades Vineyard Pinot Noir
94 Points Virginie Boone, JebDunnuck.com

Aged in 100% neutral puncheons, the 2022 Pinot Noir Edmeades Vineyard is made from heritage clones of Pinot Noir, most notably Calera, with 50% whole-cluster in 50% of the final blend. Edmeades has been an estate vineyard for Maggy Hawk since the beginning, bought by Jackson Family Wines in 1988. Fruit was brought in relatively early and winemaking kept minimalist in approach, allowing the soft, supple tannins to cradle a palate of crisp, crunchy cranberry and pomegranate fruit and lithe tannins. Cellar through 2032.

Maggy Hawk
2022 Afleet Pinot Noir
94 Points Virginie Boone, JebDunnuck.com

Winemaking behind the 2022 Pinot Noir Afleet consists of 60% whole-cluster fermentation in the final blend, resulting in a lovely lift of tropical fruit and rustic tannin that frames the edges of the wine's medium-bodied, juicy core. It builds cohesion and complexity as it opens, revealing layers of earthy forest, dried herb, and refined tannins. No new oak was used, so plenty of purity is on hand. Enjoy through 2032.

La Crema
2022 Sable Mountain Vineyard Pinot Noir
94 Points Virginie Boone, JebDunnuck.com

The first vintage of this estate vineyard-designate was 2020. The 2022 Pinot Noir Sable Mountain Vineyard buzzes in intense, chewy earthiness, layering notes of forest floor, dark brooding fruit, cardamom, and oak into a cohesive whole. The tannins are present yet soft, with supple appeal. Sanguine, savory elements give it a feral quality that works well against its medium-bodied ripeness and underlying power and plushness. Enjoy now through 2032.

Beautifully layered and slightly rich yet well balanced. A luxurious but fresh-tasting wine that leads with toasted almonds and brown butter, then crisp apples and Bosc pears.
