This is the third vintage at Siduri for Matt Revelette, who joined as winemaker in 2019. And it is the first vintage in which Siduri’s pinots have shown at this level. From a vineyard on the Santa Rosa Plain, this wine’s scents work back from beeswax and wildflower honey to the wildflowers themselves. The flavors have a long, graceful beauty, a bee buzz and a sting of nettles resolving into fresh summer blueberries. The black tannins have youthful intensity, the wine on track to become increasingly elegant in the years ahead. —J.G. 

This vintage of Ironheart is particularly open and fruit-forward. Luscious blueberry and blackberry preserve aromas are in the fore, underpinned by cedar, spice and licorice. The rich palate is equally voluptuous with plush, silky fruit framed by powerful yet fine tannins and lovely acidity. There’s a raw spiciness that seems to come more from variety and site than the well-tucked oak. Drink now with decanter and a rich protein like roast beef, or cellar another 7-10 years. Jackson Family Wines. Cellar Selection. —C.P.

This far-coast wine has a scent of Crème de Violette introducing the fruit, then it hits a tannic wall and melts away into gentle richness. Long and lovely, polished and powerful, this will benefit from bottle age.- J.G.

This smells savory, with a leesiness up front and mild grape-skin flavor that follows along a crisp coastal line. It feels shady and cool, while the orange-citrus fruit holds lasting acidity. —J.G. (270 cases)

Sumptuous but with clean lines, Hartford Court’s interpretation of the cool Radian site leads with scents of nutmeg and cinnamon, apple and pear, a kind of horchata savor and richness. Its golden-pear flavors are fresh and lively, brought to a close with rippling acidity.

From a Green Valley hillside on Goldridge soil, this pinot noir has an enticing scent of pomegranate and a briny, kelpy seaside note. The tannins deliver on the promise of the scent, completely wrapping the dark, foresty cherry fruit in their cool, stony abrasion.

Giving off scents of crushed strawberries in a bowl, this is mildly smoky on the edges. It's a suave red, the fruit deepening to red cherry, right, tense and light with a sense of energy and a wild-strawberry snap of acidity.- P.J.C.

This is a flashy style, its ripeness revealed in some heat and butter, but overall it’s finely integrated within an oak frame. There’s gingery spice, mineral notes from the lees, as well as a green chamomile character that keeps it refreshing in the end. —J.G. (269 cases)

The 2021 Pinot Noir Rosella's Vineyard is laced with crushed flowers, sweet red-toned fruit, cedar, pipe tobacco, mint and rose petals. This is a pretty nervy, taut expression of Rosella's, but it works.

Hartford Court has been making pinot noir from these blocks for nearly a decade, but this is their first vintage of chardonnay from the site. It’s crisp and tart, with scents of orange oil and salty lees. Firm if a bit shy in the middle palate, its lean finish to go up against blue crab. —P.J.C. (100 cases)

The 2021 Pinot Noir Garys’ Vineyard is supple, fruity and easy to like. Sweet dark plum, chocolate, new leather, licorice and a kiss of French oak are pushed forward in this silky, open-knit Pinot. The 2021 is quiet and understated but also nicely balanced.

The 2021 Pinot Noir Sierra Mar Vineyard comes across as quite clenched in this tasting. It has plenty of energy and vibrancy, but the style is a bit forced. Sierra Mar seems better suited to richer, deeper wines. Dark plum, graphite, lavender and mocha linger.

Simple but well-made and nicely integrated, this Chardonnay shows nicely ripened fruit with no distracting evidence of manipulation in the winemaking process. Baked apple and faintly tropical fruit notes finish with nice clarity, and this is well priced in relation to its quality.

With bitterness on top and florals underneath, this is a softball of a chardonnay, wrapping its alcohol with scents of buttery puff pastry, white plum and nectarine. Leafy and simple. —J.G. (313 cases)

This chardonnay has cool coastal power, even as its clean, sweet pear and lime flavors give it taste of a margarita—salty, candied, lasting on sweetness. —J.G. (60 cases)

The 2021 Pinot Noir Soberanes Vineyard is a dark, brooding wine. Black cherry, leather, licorice and chocolate struggle to emerge. The 2021 offers good initial depth, but the tannins are searing and astringent.

The 2021 Pinot Noir (Santa Lucia Highlands) is a very pretty wine. Crushed flowers, spice, mint, red cherry fruit and orange peel are nicely lifted. There's good energy here, even if the 2021 feels a bit light, especially in the mid-palate.

Baked lemon, glazed brioche, nectarine cream and marzipan aromas make for a rich nose on this bottling. The palate is also generous and buttery, with more marzipan as well as popcorn and marshmallow flavors. —M.K.

A plus-size chardonnay with plenty of flashy oak to contain its buttery lemon fruit and circus peanut flavors. —J.G. (389 cases)

Frankly ripe, with expressive mulberry and steeped plum notes backed by violet and hibiscus hints. Flattering, but shows latent length, with bramble and tea echoes amid the fruit on the finish. Drink now through 2027. 353 cases made.

This has black and red cherry preserves pumping through, flanked by singed vanilla and bramble hints and a late flash of anise. For fans of the flattering, toasty style. Drink now through 2026. 446 cases made.

Pretty, with high-pitched damson plum and cherry notes infused with rose petal and iris hints. The fresh finish is lined with red tea and sanguine hints. Drink now through 2027. 6,836 cases made.

Juicy and direct, with tasty plum compote and black cherry preserves mixed with light bramble and sweet spices on the flattering finish. Drink now through 2025. 353 cases made.

Offers a nice mix of ebullient ripe raspberry and red cherry fruit, along with a wave of sparkly savory and spice notes. Shows good energy through the breezy, open finish. Drink now through 2025. 12,100 cases made.

Shows succulent dark cherry and boysenberry fruit, maintaining a light-bodied feel as this lingers on the spice-tinged finish.
