Awesome! Dark fruits, baking spices, black pepper, cherry, bitter chocolate, and overall tartness that brings you back. Definitely has some years ahead but wow is this good. — 8 months ago

2018 vintage. Possibly the best old-world styled pinot I've ever had from the New World. Definite surprise it's from Santa Rita Hills. Beautiful, classical and exquisite. Pronounced “Donna-Kah.” — 2 years ago

2021 vintage. Last tasted 2.1.24 (9.4) and 11.3.23 (9.3) starting to knit together a little better every visit. Medium body. Popping spice pieces in play. Excellent length of finish. 5.23.24. — a month ago

Bright cherries and char. Decent amount of minerality. Getting a rubbery quality at the tail end. Chewy and delicious. — 7 months ago

Sta. Rita Hills Chardonnay 2019

Brandon Boesch
9.4

Great Chardonnay. Needed 3+ hours of being open to come together. More bread and hay on nose, tropical fruits, honeysuckle, a hint of citrus. Palate is lively with acidity. Some lemon, honey, brioche, pineapple, tart peach, and a lingering perfume after swallowing. Lovely. — 2 years ago

Needed to decant. Black tea, cherries, baking spices, some apple, long finish that coats the palate. Ongoing cherry, spiced cider, good acidity. Just lovely. This has a very long life ahead of it. — 5 months ago

Swan Clone Donnachadh Vineyard Block 8 Pinot Noir 2020

Scott@Mister A’s-San Diego
9.3

2020 vintage. A tad earthier than the vast majority of Santa Rita Hills stuff I’ve ripped through. 13.5% ABV. Medium body. The expected SRH prettiness is front-loaded fruit with the dirtiness following on the finish. Excellent concentration and a whopping 75 cases made. — 2 years ago

@Shay A Definitely. I’ll try to taste this again in 6 months. Thinking it’ll be slightly more settled down and could be a 9.4.
