2021 Pine Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon
94 Points Tom Capo, Wine Enthusiast Magazine Cellar Selection

This plush and potent Cabernet offers aromas of black plum, coffee and mint leaves on the nose. The palate brings more black fruit, fresh-cut flowers and a wealth of gripping tannin. This wine is tailor-made for hearty fare like braised beef short ribs and will improve with age for at least a decade

2021 Skycrest Vineyard Chardonnay
94 Points Clive Pursehouse, Decanter

Gorgeous lemon cream and honeyed florals, this site Sky Crest Vineyard, from 1500-2000ft; the Chardonnay was planted in 2011 here on this windy site. The aromatics are right and bright, with lemon pasty cream and mint leaves soaring from the glass. The palate shows savoury intensity with white pepper and a glaring saline note of crushed oyster shells framing lean, linear citrus fruits.

94 Points Owen Bargreen, OwenBargreen.com

Planted back in 2016 the Perilune Vineyard planted on a steep hillside and set on rocky soils.

2022 Bloomfield Vineyard Pinot Noir

This is a very foggy site that is cool and is farmed at roughly one ton an area. This offers bergamot and damp earth on the nose alongside white truffle notes. The palate is refined and elegant with serious texture and a good sense of weight as well as verve. Finishing long, this largely tart black-fruit driven wine is already showing well. Drink 2024-2034

This is a rugged site set on sandstone with small berries and canopies. The 2022 Pinot Noir was stored in 20% new French oak for 14 months before bottling.

Siduri
2022 Edmeades Vineyard Pinot Noir
94 Points Owen Bargreen, OwenBargreen.com

Giant Steps
2023 Tarraford Vineyard Chardonnay
94 Points N/A, JamesSuckling.com

Aromas of lemon peel, orange blossoms and oyster shells. The palate is medium-bodied with energetic acidity, a creamy mouthfeel and notes of grapefruit, flint and almond meal. Very tightly wound and delicate. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

Château Lassègue
2018 Lassègue
94 Points Jane Anson, Decanter

A cluster of damson and black cherry notes dominate the nose. It takes a minute in the glass before peeling back the layers. It's clearly a complex, well constructed and enjoyable wine with lovely sweetness to the cherry and blackberry fruits, showing a touch of raspberry as things open up, with a fresh finish. There is excellent oak integration, as ever (from 20 different forests, one of the real specificities of this estate under winemaker Pierre Seillan). Malo took place in vat, then the wine was racked into barrels for ageing, with 60% new oak. 3.75pH. Harvested 24 September to 13 October, giving a good yield of 49hl/ha.

Château Lassègue
2019 Lassègue
94 Points Jane Anson, Decanter

Rich plum in colour, this grips right from the off, and moves slowly and carefully through the palate, revealing brambly blue and red fruits, and a lovely sense of energy and uplift. Extremely good quality, with sage and saffron edges alongside layers of fine tannins that close in towards the finish, slowing things down even more. This will age well, and is an elegant yet concentrated wine.

Maggy Hawk
2021 Unforgettable Pinot Noir
94 Points Jim Gordon, JamesSuckling.com

So bright, ripe and full-bodied, an exuberant wine that's big but balanced. Vibrant red and black cherries, red currants, spearmint and ample baking spices on moderate tannins. It ages 16 months in one-third new French oak barrels. Drink now or hold.

Siduri
2022 Rosella's Vineyard Pinot Noir
94 Points Jeffrey Kralik, The Drunken Cyclist Outstanding

Responsible Bottle. Fruity and floral on the nose with more cranberry than cherry. Fruity and full on the palate with crunchy fruit and a lovely zing. Another fantastic wine.

Gran Moraine
2021 Upland Pinot Noir
94 Points Clive Pursehouse, Decanter

Two ‘dead south facing blocks’ toward the back of the vineyard, on a conical-shaped hill, winemaker Shane Moore believes these are among Willamette Valley's grand cru sites. ‘They're the best on our 200-acre vineyard,’ Moore says. 667 and Pommard clones, this Pinot Noir has a dark and savoury character to it, with savoury notes of roast seaweed, soy and balsamic. This is a wine that shows depth and concentration—showing elegance, depth and a brilliant acidity to finish.

Cambria
2022 Julia's Vineyard Pinot Noir
94 Points James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com

A lush and ripe-tasting but also bright and balanced wine that's mouthwatering to sip. It offers sour cherry and red cherry aromas followed by good baked cherries, red currants and dried cranberries on the palate. Moderate tannins and tangy acidity give it life and energy through a lingering finish. Sustainable. Drink now or hold.

2022 Santa Rita Hills Chardonnay

Semi-opaque dark red.  This 100% Merlot (2018 is the first vintage to be all Merlot) is sourced from the Valadorna and Capraia vineyard blocks located in a cooler part of the estate with a stream running through it. It opens with scents of black plum, herbal spice, and a hint of blue fruit.
