Parker West Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir 2021

Ming L
9.1

A good representation of Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir, this bursts with a juicy core of ripe red cherry, wild strawberry, and a hint of pomegranate with distinct savory undertone of fried herbs and forest floor. Plush and approachable now, but should age well for the next 5-8 years. — 2 days ago

This has evolved nicely since I tasted it couple years ago. Tannins have mellow and it starts to show integration and elegance, though aromatic profile remains pretty much the same. A keeper. — 3 months ago

Best one that I’ve had in my really limited experience so far. And at a decent price point.

Rodney's Vineyard Viognier 2024

9.1

I think this 2024 vintage is the most aromatic yet for this bottling. Intensely perfumed aromas of peach, nectarine, orange blossom, hint of pineapple and ginger. Lush and soft on the palate yet clean and refreshing. Lovely. — 2 months ago

Ashley's Vineyard Chardonnay 2022

Ming L
9.0

I’ve tasted couple excellent bottles of well aged Pinot from Ashley’s vineyard. This Chardonnay is young but very good too.

The 2022 combines the AVA’s coastal freshness with the vintage’s generous ripeness. Aromas of lemon zest, yellow apple, and grilled pineapple mingle with vanilla, brioche, and a saline breeze. The palate is sleek yet plush, balancing citrus-driven acidity with creamy mid-palate weight. Subtle spice frame a long juicy finish.

8 months in French oak barrel, 30% new.

Domaine de la Janasse

Vieilles Vignes Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2022

Reddish in color with a wide reddish rim.

Fruity nose and medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity.

Showing raspberries, fresh cherries, light oak, spices, chocolates, coffee and black pepper.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

This is a delicious Grenache from Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel.

Still young, but already drinking beautifully. Easy drinking right out of the bottle, and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 to 15 years.

Robert Parker 93 points.

I've had a few vintages of this wine, and this vintage is absolutely fantastic. The high alcohol is well integrated already.

Good by itself as a sipping wine or with food.

A blend of 85% Grenache, 5% Syrah, 5% Mourvèdre and 5% local varieties.

92 points.

$90.
