Maggy Hawk
2021 Unforgettable Pinot Noir
93 Points Clive Pursehouse, Decanter

Sourced from five blocks of the Maggy Hawk vineyard, this Pinot offers a bold and rustic take on Anderson Valley. It opens with a mix of peppery and savoury aromas, dried herbs and an earthy, soily, grounded character. On the palate, ripe fruit pairs with the brightness of crunchy berries, creating a lovely contrast of freshness and richness. A good level of acidity keeps things interesting with well-integrated tannins.

Siduri
2022 Gran Moraine Vineyard Pinot Noir
93 Points Owen Bargreen, OwenBargreen.com

The 2022 ‘Grand Moraine’ comes from this outstanding site in the Yamhill-Carlton AVA. This underwent just a touch of whole cluster fermentation. Stored in 30% new French oak for 14 months before bottling, this offers red currants and tobacco on the nose alongside stony minerals. Loaded with crunchy red fruit this shows beautiful body and texture. Enjoy now and over the next ten plus years. Drink 2024-2035

Siduri
2022 Pinot Noir Santa Lucia Highlands
93 Points Owen Bargreen, OwenBargreen.com

The 2022 Siduri ‘Santa Lucia Highlands’ Pinot Noir offers orange rind and beautiful red florals on the nose with red raspberry notes. Filled with class and texture, this is a rich wine filled with weight and overall tension. Drink 2024-2030

Château Lassègue
2021 Lassègue
93 Points Georgina Hindle, Decanter

Smells strong and concentrated with lots of oak and dark fruit nuances. Cool blue fruit with vanilla and tobacco, still needs time to harmonise and for the wood to integrate and as such isn't giving total balance and connectivity right now. The texture is sleek, and there is weight and acidity, but the flavours need to meld a little. Confident and structured, shows lots of promise.

Château Lassègue
2015 Lassègue
93 Points Christopher Keiller, Decanter

Blackcurrant and vegetal notes with evident oak. Subtly enticing flavors of bruised plum and damson. The fresh palate is rich and exuberant, with lively fruit and a hint of salinity. Drink 2024-2036.

Penner-Ash
2022 Willamette Valley Pinot Noir
93 Points Jeffrey Kralik, The Drunken Cyclist Outstanding

Red and black cherry on the nose, with a touch of earth. The palate is juicy, even really juicy with a hint of anise on the backend, but it works and this is tasty.

Gran Moraine
2021 Pinot Noir Yamhill-Carlton
93 Points Clive Pursehouse, Decanter

They take the top 20% of their site for this wine, about 15 blocks, with a fantastic melange of fruits, blue and red brambles, sweet cherries, hints of herbs, and mint. It's a nice balance of fruit and spice; the tension is lovely in the 21s, says winemaker Shane Moore. Released early with the lack of a 2020 vintage for the brand.

Diatom
2023 Chardonnay
93 Points James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com

An unoaked chardonnay that's full-bodied but balanced and amazingly rich in ripe fruit. Flavors of lemons, green apples, pineapple. mangoes, minerals and chalk. Harvested late in the year, fermented in steel tanks, then bottled and sold early while it's fresh and racy in texture. Despite not aging in barrels, it offers good butter and spices considering how crisp and tangy it is. Drink now.

Cambria
2023 Katherine's Vineyard
93 Points James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com

Achieves excellent balance between a tangy feel and generous flavors. Quite toasty, flinty and nervy in aromas before a ripe, buttery palate delivers good richness and length. Minerals and sea salt on the nose, then bright pineapple, baked apple, butter and lemon zest on the palate. Drink now or hold.

Giant Steps
2022 Primavera Vineyard Pinot Noir
93 Points MaryAnn Worobiec, Wine Spectator

Impressive for its purity and fleshy black cherry flavors, with details of pomegranate, strawberry and fresh herb details of thyme, sage and rosemary on a crisp, juicy frame. Accents of cherry cola and red licorice, as well as polished tannins. leave a lasting impression on the finish. Drink now through 2035.

Tenuta di Arceno
2021 Il Fauno Toscana IGT
93 Points Don Winkler, International Wine Review

Mt. Brave
2019 Merlot
93 Points Tim Fish, Wine Spectator

Dark and brooding but retains a sense of finesse, with blackberry and red currant flavors that take on mocha, dusty herbs and spices.

Captûre
2021 Merlot
93 Points Tom Capo, Wine Enthusiast Magazine Cellar Selection

This deeply extracted and spice driven Merlot farmed at just under 3,000 feet of elevation displays aromas of dark-chocolate-covered cherry, cinnamon and pepper. The palate gives flavors of ripe black plum, tobacco and rich minerality in a powerful tannic framework. Although the wine needs time to evolve, it will be excellent with hearty meat courses in time.

Zena Crown
2021 Conifer Vineyard Pinot Noir
93 Points Tim Fish, Wine Spectator

Spirited and handsomely built, with expressive flavors of cherry and blueberry accented by anise and juniper berry as this builds tension toward fine-grained tannins. Drink now through 2032. 639 cases made.

2022 Hailey's Block Pinot Noir
93 Points Tom Capo, Wine Enthusiast Magazine

The nose of this Pinot gives punchy aromas of dusty cherry, spiced raspberry compote and sassafras. The silky palate brings rich dark-cherry fruit with a wide streak of raspberry lime acid and clove. Cinnamon lingers across the finish.

Hartford Court
2022 Far Coast Vineyard Pinot Noir
93 Points Tom Capo, Wine Enthusiast Magazine

Lively aromas of fresh tangerine, pear and lime peel dominate the nose of this wine. The palate gives waves of fresh citrus, spice, honeysuckle and apple, with bright and focused acidity dancing along the palate. Best from 2027–2035.

WindRacer
2021 Tidal Break Vineyard Chardonnay
93 Points Tom Capo, Wine Enthusiast Magazine Editors' Choice

Aromas of fresh apple, river rock, white flowers and lemon peel dance on the nose of this wine. The palate brings a lively pear-tangerine vibe with an electric finish, just zipping with acidity, salinity and minerality. Editors’ Choice.

Siduri
2022 Garys' Vineyard Pinot Noir
93 Points Matt Kettmann, Wine Enthusiast Magazine

Attractively dense aromas of baked strawberry and stewed cherry meet with nutmeg and star anise on the nose of this bottling from an iconic vineyard. The bold, very ripe palate pairs cherry-cola soda flavors with tons of powerful spices

Copain
2021 Maggy Hawk Pinot Noir
93 Points Tonya Pitts, Wine Enthusiast Magazine

This lively wine has aromas of strawberry coulis, black plum, dried oregano and vanilla cream on the nose. Flavors on the palate are cranberry-pomegranate compote, pink grapefruit peel and hibiscus tea, with a long, mouthwatering finish. Pair with grilled lamb lollipops.

Brewer-Clifton
2022 Perilune Chardonnay
93 Points Matthew Luczy, Robert Parker Wine Advocate

From vines planted in 2017, the 2022 Chardonnay Perilune is the midpoint of rich creaminess and zesty focus in the BrewerClifton Chardonnay roster. While initially slightly reticent and less intense on the nose, it delivers lifted, floral, orchard fruit aromas in the glass with time. The palate is tensile and refreshing, leading to a finish that fills in this raciness with a subtle but pleasing creamy texture. An impressive showing from such young vines, this is a wine to follow for fans of BrewerClifton's more chiseled side.

Brewer-Clifton
2022 Hapgood Pinot Noir
93 Points Matthew Luczy, Robert Parker Wine Advocate

Hailing from a 2010 planting of a Merry Edwards selection, the 2022 Pinot Noir Hapgood offers up pretty aromas of dried flowers, citrus peels, cinnamon and anise. The palate is voluminous yet silky and precise, leading to a clean, structured finish with delicious saline accents. I found this a highlight of the Brewer-Clifton Pinot Noirs for its balance between power, verve and grace.
