“It’s a stunner in the glass, with loads of layered depth and complexity, and it checks a ton of boxes. The nose opens to luxurious aromas of white peach, citrus blossoms, marzipan, wet stone minerality, and citrus oils. Full-bodied, the palate gains fantastic glycerol richness while staying light on its feet, with seamless acidity and a long finish. Its oak spice frames the wine with precision, giving it a refined, polished feel and offering a Grand Cru-esque sensibility.”

“Coming exclusively from the older plantings of the vineyard, the deep ruby/magenta 2021 Pinot Noir Kanzler Vineyard saw 20% whole cluster in fermentation. In the glass, it boasts a gorgeous perfume of lavender, black raspberries, graphite, and elegant high-toned spices that frame the wine beautifully. Medium-bodied, it has an expansive feel throughout the palate, with lovely balance, a seamless feel, even acidity, ripe tannins, and a long finish. It’s gorgeous all the way through.”

“It offers a fantastic aromatic profile on the nose with layered, rich notes of wild mixed berries, brambly herbs, pine, violets, and citrus oils. While it’s medium-bodied, it offers great depth and has a chiseled structure with ripe tannins, coiled tension, and lasting notes of brambly spice on the long finish.”

"Juicy, punchy and forthright, with a mix of loganberry, black cherry and boysenberry fruit flavors leading the way. Gently singed black tea and hibiscus notes fuel the finish as the fruit lingers."

"Punchy and still quite primal, displaying a burst of plum, black cherry and boysenberry fruit flavors supported by bright, almost perky acidity and laced with notes of singed apple wood and dried anise on the toasty finish. A youthful tumble right now, but some cellaring should ease this into full equilibrium."

"Appealing for its concentration and purity, there's a lot packed into a supple frame: lemon curd, crisp apple, lemongrass and verbena notes, plus a hint of grilled lemon. The acidity is fresh and vibrant, and the finish is long, mouthwatering and generous."

"Elegant and supple, showing salted, buttery shortbread notes, with hints of lemon blossoms, pear pastry and fresh Honeycrisp apple on a light and fresh frame."

"This perfectly harmonious version's lovely, seamless mix of buttery pastry, brown sugar and grilled pineapple flavors mingles with notes of quince, peach preserves and candied orange peel. Elegant acidity weaves in and out, giving the flavors focus and momentum on the long, lingering finish."

"The 2021 Pinot Noir Kanzler Vineyard is a classic Russian River Pinot. Succulent dark cherry, plum, licorice, clove, menthol and leather all build in the glass, filling out the layers effortlessly. Silky tannins wrap it all together in style."

"The 2021 Chardonnay Ritchie Vineyard is a very pretty, understated wine. Crushed rocks, flowers, mint and white pepper give the Ritchie gorgeous aromatic presence. This is the most ethereal, delicate Chardonnay in the range. I would prefer to see a bit more flesh in the mid-palate."

"The 2021 Pinot Noir U.V. - Lucky Well Vineyard is a rich, effusive wine. Lavender, mint, spice and cool, blue-toned fruits open with a bit of coaxing. Bright acids lend freshness and verve throughout, finishing with a note of sweet oak."

"The 2021 Chardonnay Banfield Vineyard is a classy, elegant wine. Floral aromatics meld into a core of silky fruit in a Chardonnay that is all finesse. Time in the glass brings out hints of lemon confit, white flowers, slate and white pepper, but it is the wine's sensual texture that is most alluring. This is a sublime Chardonnay from Arista."

"The 2021 Chardonnay U.V. - El Diablo Vineyard is one of the more potent Chardonnays in the range, although like all the wines here, it is a bit less overt than in the past. Lemon confit, marzipan, tangerine oil, coconut and a kiss of French oak build in the glass. The El Diablo is a Chardonnay of weight and textural richness."

"Ripe and succulent, showing a delicious set of raspberry and boysenberry fruit flavors dotted with dried anise, black tea and singed wood spice notes. This is rich yet defined and toasty yet fresh."

“Dark color. Lots of black cherry, umami, pine resin, oyster shell, wild berry and iodine aromas. Unique and full-bodied with powdery tannins that get firm. Tees this up nicely. Most likely heritage clones. Drinkable but will age nicely.”

“Extremely perfumed with violets, black cherries and hints of bark. Savory and full-bodied with firm and fine tannins that frame the wine seriously. Notes of orange peel.”

“Some blue fruit with iron and lavender character. Very perfumed. Medium-bodied with fine tannins and a bright finish. Linear and tight. Hibiscus at the end. A blend of declassified barrels from the single-vineyard wines.”
