Very pretty and pure, sleek in raspberries and red and black cherries that integrate well with light oak spices. Moderate tannins, a good acid tension and a medium body support the focused and tangy fruit for a vibrant expression. Drink or hold.

Combines warm strawberries and cherries in the aroma with light pine and mint tones that multiply on the palate, while bracing acidity and full tannins hold them tightly for now. Intense black cherries, sour cherries and cranberries create a tight, concentrated core that needs time to fully develop. Best from 2027.

The 2021 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, with 5% Petit Verdot and 1% Merlot in the blend, is deep garnet-purple in color. Notes of black cherries, warm cassis, and baked blackberries jump from the glass, followed by hints of clove oil, menthol, and tapenade with a touch of cumin seed. The full-bodied palate is packed with juicy black fruit layers and a firm, grainy frame, invigorated by just enough freshness, finishing long and savory. Just over 11,000 cases were made.

The 2022 Napa Valley Chardonnay comes 40% from Coombsville and 60% from Carneros, with 40% new oak and partial malolactic. It bursts with bold notes of ripe honeydew melons and juicy pears followed by hints of cedar, lightly buttered toast, and allspice with a touch of fresh ginger. The medium-bodied palate has a decadent oiliness to the texture, with well-knit freshness and bags of melon and pear flavors, finishing with a spicy lift.

Medium ruby-purple in color, the 2022 Land's Edge Vineyard Pinot Noir scoots out of the glass with ready-to-go scents of wild strawberries, kirsch, and redcurrant jelly plus wafts of dried herbs, damp soil, and wet slate. The medium to full-bodied palate is refreshing and crunchy, with energetic red berry flavors and fine-grained tannins, finishing with a mineral lift. Native strains were used for alcoholic and malolactic fermentation and the wine is unfined and unfiltered. Land's Edge Vineyard is sourced from Hartford Court's two Sonoma Coast vineyards, Far Coast and Seascape, both within 4 miles of the Pacific Ocean.

One of the few brands proudly proclaiming ingredients on the bottle, this bottling reflects the stony, rocky nature of Chalone, starting with aromas of crushed rocks, Meyer lemon curd and Asian pear. It’s tightly woven and restrained in that regional style, as lemon rind, almond and light honey take a backseat to the impressively rocky mineral flavors.

Rounded and bold aromas of strawberry, tobacco, black tea and clove kick off the nose to this bottling. The palate showcases a rounded red cherry core with incense, cola, thyme and eucalyptus leaf flavors adding nuance. Firm with tension, and protected by a screwcap. So drink now–2041.

The generously proportioned 2022 Chardonnay Wombat Creek Vineyard delivers rich veins of nicely, focused aromas, with a strong core of hazelnut supported by nectarine and spicy, well integreated oak. Full- bodied and flavorsome, it possesses an underlying firm, drying acidity, topped by gentle stony nuances and subtle smoky tones. A finely tuned and embryonic finish with icing on this cake.

The 2022 Chardonnay Applejack Vineyard is well controlled and elegant as it offers up pristine, focused aromas of grapefruit, pear and gentle florals, backed by just-ripe nectarine and a smoky/flinty edge. Then very tight and fresh, ribbons of chalky acidity provide a vibrant start before building texture and weight. Flavors of citrus and creamed cashew add complexity over a lengthy finish. This is young and built to last.

Light straw-yellow hue. Ripe pear, almond meal and north African spices all show on the nose and palate. A savoury and delightful wine that glides and flows through all the corners of the mouth. Finely structured, both acid and tannins working their magic to ensure great length and focus. It's very intriguing and evolves in the glass. A wine that is built for matching with food.

This is a delicious wine with a lot of character. Dark and red fruit with hints of crushed stone and toffee on the nose. Fresh and crisp fruit with a tangy character. Smooth tannins with a crisp finish. Vines are on sandy soils at 400 to 500 feet altitude. Drink or hold.

A smooth and refreshingly long finish. This is certainly drinkable now but give it a little time. Drink or hold.

The Saralee’s Vineyard became La Crema’s home base in 2013, after the Jackson family purchased the property from Richard and Saralee Kunde. The vineyard’s pedigree shows in this supple blend, with mellow spice and the flavor of cantaloupe just coming into ripeness. The wine’s tannins give it the feel of a cotton terry-cloth robe, then it lasts on scents of orchard blossoms and those mouthwatering tannins. For a veal chop. (184 cases)

An exuberantly floral, full-bodied shiraz, with the inherent elegance of Blewitt Springs, a grand cru in local parlance. Iodine, saddle leather, dried lavender and lilacs, with notes of boysenberry and cream. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

A beautiful opening act from a splendid source of quality McLaren Vale grenache. Notes of dried rose petals, spruce and kirsch. A little hard, rustic and ferrous at the end, although nothing a stiff decant or a short stint in the cellar can’t remedy. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drinkable now, but best from 2026. Screw cap.

A late-released single-block bottling. Exciting aromas of porcini mushrooms, dashi, wood, mulch and a mocha oak element. This is delicious now, but I'd drink it up relatively soon, evidenced by the dryness across the finish. Drink now. Screw cap.

A late-released, full-bodied, bottle-aged wine from a single prized block. Old-school Aussie shiraz, boasting maritime accents of kelpy iodine amid darker notes of mocha, camphor, star anise and mulled red plums. The tannins are a bit drying. I'd drink this soon. Drink now.

Plenty of class here. Crushed currants, paprika, spiced Damson plums and a touch of pimento. More medium-bodied and savory than previous vintages. The oak is a perfect framework. This is not as spectacular as this bottling has proven in the past. And yet the poise and drinkability cannot be disputed. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

The 2021 ‘Estate Cuvee’ opens with bright red fruits with a smooth texture and citrus rind accents on the palate. Soft and refined, with a smooth texture and plenty of salty soil accents, this is drinking marvelously now. Drink 2024-2032.
