Amber Ridge Vyd. Syrah  |
$99 |

WS 90 (12/2007): Spicy cola, black cherry and cassis fruit is rich and supple yet almost syrupy, with a nice range of flavors and a hint of pencil lead and cedary oak on the finish. Drink now through 2011. 320 cases made.
VM 88+ (6/2006): Ruby-red. Musky aromas of black cherry, blackberry, tar, pepper and game. Sweet and dense if a bit youthfully reduced, with solid, chunky fruit lifted by spice and pepper notes. Finishes with rather powerful but slightly dry tannins. I suspect this will be more harmonious by the time it's released in the spring of 2007. |

Kanzler Vyd. Pinot Noir |

| WA 93 (10/2015): The last vineyard harvested, the 2013 Pinot Noir Kanzler Vineyard, wasn’t brought in until between the 8th and 11th of October. Mostly destemmed and aged 16 months in just under 40% new French oak, it has a cool, fresh, perfumed style to go with lots of rose garden, framboise, black cherry and spice. Lightly textured, elegant and vibrant, it should benefit from a year in bottle and drink well through 2023. |

WS 93 (8/2012): (WS #91 wine of 2012) Rich and expressive, with bold layers of ripe blueberry, plum and wild berry flavors that show touches of spice and espresso. At points open-knit, yet tightening on the finish. Best from 2013 through 2023. 4,742 cases made.
VM 91 (5/2012): Bright ruby. Pungent, highly aromatic red berry and cherry aromas show an array of floral, Asian spice and herb nuances. Ripe but energetic black raspberry, cherry-cola flavors show a subtle smoky earthiness and gain sweetness with air. Finishes sappy and long, with a strong whiplash of bitter cherry.
WA 90 (4/2013): The 2010 Pinot Noir Russian River Valley is juicier, richer and rounder than the Sonoma Coast bottling tasted alongside it. Here it's the immediacy of the fruit that speaks loudest. Cinnamon, cherries, plums and mint are some of the notes that flesh out on a juicy, exuberant finish that captures the essence of Russian River Pinot. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2016.
BH 87 (9/2012): This possesses the highest-toned nose of the range with a ripe cherry, raspberry and cranberry-infused aromatic profile. This is very round and suave with plenty of palate coating dry extract that imparts a seductive mouth feel though unfortunately, there is distinct warmth on the finish and the only antidote for this is to maintain a cooler than normal serving temperature. This is definitely pretty but the warmth will be enough to bother those who are sensitive to it. Drink 2013+. |

VM 92 (5/2013): (made from fruit grown in eleven different vineyards and picked between September 16 and October 20; 48% new oak): Deep ruby. Heady scents of raspberry, cherry-cola, floral oil, Asian spices and vanilla. Juicy and penetrating, with superb inner-mouth perfume to its sweet red fruit and candied rose flavors. Becomes spicier with air and finishes with excellent clarity, breadth and persistence.
WA 91 (8/2013): Offering up a supple, perfumed and delicate array of kirsch, crushed berries, spice and forest floor, the 2011 Pinot Noir (Santa Lucia Highlands) flows onto the palate with a light, deft texture, bright acidity and a clean, nicely focused finish. This isn’t a heavy weight and excels on its aromatics and balance more than power or richness. Enjoy it over the coming 4-6 years. Drink now-2019.
JS 90 (6/2012): A fruity and juicy red with dried strawberry and lemon rind character that follows through to a medium body, with fine tannins. Fresh finish. Drink now.
WS 87 (12/2013): The ripe plum and cherry flavors ease back and turn simple, but this remains complete, with touches of gravel and cedar on the finish. Drink now through 2019. 4,525 cases made. |

VM 92 (5/2015): The 2013 Pinot Noir Russian River Valley comes across as a bit restrained, with lovely energy to balance the expressive Russian River fruit. Dark cherry, plum, spice, cedar and cinnamon flesh out on a perfumed, sensual finish with attractive rose petal and lavender overtones.
WS 92 (8/2015): Combines a tight, firm framework and a complex mix of dark berry, anise, gravel, road tar and savory herb notes, finishing with a long, clean, layered aftertaste. Should reward short-term cellaring. Drink now through 2020. 5,709 cases made. |

WS 90 (9/2013): Gutsy, showing tannic muscle, this offers tidbits of dark berry, with grainy, gripping tannins and notes of cedar and crushed rock. Complete, but should improve with cellaring. Drink now through 2022. 1,693 cases made.
VM 89 (2/2014): Dark cherries, plums, smoke and menthol meld together in the 2011 Pinot Noir (Santa Lucia Highlands). This is one of the more immediate wines in the range and appears to be built for near term drinking. Most of the fruit is from Sierra Mar and Soberanes. |

JS 94 (5/2017): Lots of the blue fruits and dried flowers on the nose. Oyster shell too. Medium to full body, li
VM 92 (8/2017): The 2015 Pinot Noir (Sonoma Coast) is another terrific appellation-level Pinot. This is the first year in which the Sonoma Coast Pinot is more truly coastal, with more of an influence from sites in the Freestone area. Succulent black cherry, plum, hard candy and expressive floral notes are all supported by beams of firm tannin and lively acidity that add verve as well as freshness. Antonio Galloni.
WS 91 (9/2017): Notably elegant and rich, with a deceptively deep and persistent mix of raspberry and wild berry flavors, shaded by gravelly earth and savory notes that lose a bit of focus on the finish. Drink now through 2023. 5,550 cases made. |
