(82% cabernet sauvignon, 9% merlot, 7% cabernet franc and 2% petit verdot) Good full medium ruby. Claret-like aromas and flavors of nutty red fruits, licorice, herbs and graphite, with a light floral element. Round, lush and sweet, in a pliant, forward style. But nicely juicy owing to a firm edge of minerally acidity. The broad finish features substantial dusty tannins that reach the teeth. This offers considerable early appeal.

Good bright, pale yellow. Bright, tight aromas of lemon, pear and brown spices. A bit aggressive on entry, then bigger and broader but less precise in the mid-palate than the Broken Road bottling. This more masculine, saline, tactile chardonnay will need some time to reveal itself.

Good medium ruby. Distinct medicinal cast to the aromas of black cherry, violet, licorice and menthol. Juicier, tighter and more imploded than the Keyes Vineyard example, with an element of fruity peppercorn giving lift to the middle palate. The substantial dusty tannins arrive late, allowing this very primary young wine to unwind a bit.

Good full ruby. More brooding, medicinal aromas of cassis, black cherry and mint. Then surprisingly sweet and fat in the mouth, with rather chunky flavors of black cherry, dark chocolate, tobacco and cigar box. Here the tannins are a bit more rustic. I'd give this one three or four years in the bottle.

Good full ruby. Highly aromatic nose of blackberry, black cherry, leather and spices, with complicating mineral, herbal and earth notes. At once creamy and juicy on the palate, with black fruit, mint and earth flavors. Still a bit youthfully brutal on the end, finishing with building tannins.

(100% cabernet sauvignon) Good deep ruby. Cassis, violet and licorice aromas are complicated by oaky torrefaction and lifted by a peppery element; darker and more brooding than the basic bottling. A step up in depth and sweetness but this is still a baby today. This, too, has the stuffing to support its tannins. Finishes with very good energy and length.

Bright ruby. Aromas of blackberry, violet and licorice pastille, with a subtle meaty nuance. Juicy, minerally and penetrating but tightly coiled and on the youthful side, with medicinal red and dark fruit flavors showing a slightly bitter edge. Finishes on a note of licorice, with excellent clarity and serious grip.

Bright ruby. Seductive aromas of red and dark berry preserves, cola and smoky herbs. Sweet, sappy black raspberry and cherry-cola flavors are framed by velvety tannins and gain weight, spiciness and a licorice pastille quality with air. The spice and cola notes carry through a long, alluringly sweet, youthfully gripping finish. I'll bet this will be better with a few more years of aging.

Bright red. Cherry-cola, raspberry and vanilla bean on the nose. Smoky dark berry flavors are enlivened by zesty minerals and pick up a candied floral quality with air. This packs a lot of flavor, but needs time to stretch out. Becomes deeper and chewier with air and finishes with solid grip and powerful thrust.

Deep red with a bright rim. Intensely aromatic bouquet shows red berries, cherry jam, Indian spices and smoky minerals. Deep and juicy, with pliant, medium-bodied red berry flavors, silky texture and a strong jolt of red licorice on the close. Tannins slowly build on the long, sappy finish, but don't detract from the pure, sweet red fruit. The spiciness of this wine is compelling.

Dark red. Deep cherry and dark berry aromas show rooty, cola and herbal qualities reminiscent of a wine from Morey-Saint-Denis. Suave bitter cherry and blackcurrant flavors are framed and enlivened by juicy acidity. Fleshes out on the finish, with the cherry and cola qualities repeating. This is the most backward of this impressive set of pinots.

Enticing aromas of orange zest and minerals. Juicy, tightly wound and sharply delineated, with flavors of lemon drop and minerals firmed by ripe acids. Finishes vibrant and quite long. This should age nicely for five to seven years.

The 2022 Siduri Pinot Noir from Santa Barbara County reflects a coastal sensibility with a lifted, savory edge. Matured for 10 months in 25% new French oak, it shows subtle aromas of raspberry leaf, red cherry, and sea breeze.

Subtle savory accents and refined acidity bring a finishing edge to its rounded frame. 3000 cases produced.

The 2022 Siduri Chardonnay from the Willamette Valley is a bright and engaging expression of the varietal clarity. Aged for 10 months in 20% new French oak, it shows a lean, polished frame with a light lemon hue at the core and a delicate, watery meniscus .On the nose and palate, it layers golden apple, preserved lemon, and white nectarine, bringing a restrained orchard-fruit vibrancy. Subtle threads of dried thyme and chamomile introduce a savory edge, while a fine saline undertow lends it coastal freshness. The oak influence is present but not overpowering, giving just enough texture and creaminess without masking its lift or precision. 276 cases made.

White peach and chamomile flowers are inviting on the nose of this structured and elegant white. Coming from vineyards located 12 miles from the Pacific Ocean in the Itata Valley, the wine's creamy palate is rich in tangerine and orange flavors. Hints of honey and wood spice accompanied the fruit. - JR

Another really light wine in the glass. Subtle on the nose with some fruit coming through eventually, mostly peach. Lovely, yet subtle on the palate, too, with good balance, but still on the shy side, for sure. Quite Provençal in both appearance and style.

Aromas of roasted pear, crème brûlée, spiced apple and white flowers jump from the glass on the nose of this round and giving Chardonnay. The palate displays soft, lacy texture and flavors of pear tart, marzipan and caramel.

Notable aromas of orange blossom and cinnamon mingle with fresh Anjou pear on the nose of this wine. The palate carries weight and spice from the barrel aging and flavors of nectarine and a ribbon of lemony acid and minerality that runs the length of the finish.

An expressive red, with notes of linzer torte and mulberry preserves flecked with hints of anise, fruitcake and hibiscus, giving this a flattering and forward appeal. Drink now through 2028. 658 cases made.

The 2023 Shiraz King's Wood is a more gently framed expression under this label, with cola, dried meat and clove aromas with a subtle dusting of celery salt. Young and tightly bound, the oak is a little heavy-handed for the underlying fruit ripeness, which tightens up on the finish.

There's a pleasing juiciness to the Gala apple, tangerine and guava flavors, which are svelte and refreshing on the palate. Light- to medium-bodied and lightly spiced, with hints of talc, white blossoms and pink grapefruit pith on the finish. Drink now through 2030.
