Cold Creek Ranch Pinot Grigio 2023

No bitterness or any minerality. Just crisp, clean, and flavors of white grape, lemon and lychee hint. Long lasting finish. Longer than I’d expect. — 2 months ago

Suscol Ranch Syrah 2018

2018 vintage. Banging Napa vintage and it translated well here. Heavy/full body. Gobs of smoke, baby fat and meatiness. Small mineral components on the finish but hard to discern when you're dodging all the fireworks. Super smooth and without scary tannins currently. A good entry Syrah for those scurred by those nasty, dirty Syrah playthings. 14.8% and 260 cases made. *Full disclosure-have had approx 100 Laird wines over the last 20 years and this is only the third one I've actually liked for the price. 4.3.24. — 9 months ago

Phantom Ranch Pinot Noir 2016

Overpowering and overwhelming cherry flavor. This wine got better after breathing but is too strong at this time. Perhaps it will improve in another three years. The nose is classic Pinot Noir and lovely. — 5 months ago

Red Hen Ranch Chardonnay 2018

Ming L
9.0

This underwent 100% malolactic and spent 10 months in 30% new French oak, so it has a creamy palate ripe with stone fruits. Yet it does not feel heavy or cloying. Oak is well managed and acidity manages to be fresh. Quite enjoyable.

The Laird family holds about 2000 acres of vineyards in Napa Valley, including Suscol and Linda Vista. Red Hen is the home estate.
