Merry Edwards

Russian River Valley Sauvignon Blanc 2023

Pale yellow with pleasing aromas of citrus and tropical fruits, adding in spice and some biscuit notes. On the palate complex palate of flavors, fresh fruit, pineapple, lemon, grapefruit, peaches and Asian pears. Slight earthiness with a smooth and creamy well balanced finish ending with a gentle yeasty character. Very nice! Consistent quality! Will age well! — 4 days ago

Kosta Browne

Russian River Valley Pinot Noir 2021

2021 vintage. Pleasant throughout and hit plenty of notes without screeching. The KB style has changed in the last few years. Gone are the mega-extracted pinots altho those are still around and holding up in the cellars/secondary market. Those older wines were a 10 on the volume scale. The last few vintages are closer to a 5. That said, this should hold up and develop nicely for a decade+ without issues. Those that don't think you can drink CA pinot noir over 4-5 years old are in for quite the surprise with quality producers. 04.18.25. — a month ago

Williams Selyem

Bucher Vineyard Pinot Noir 2022

Ruby color, purple edges, with pronounced aromas of red fruits, floral, herbs and complex spice. On the palate concentrated flavors of raspberry, ripe plum and black cherry with orange rind, tea, herbs, cacao and oak, soft tannins on well balanced structure. Full body, rich long finish, ending with fruit, cacao, floral, spice and oaky tones. Very Nice! Will age a long time, actually very young now! — 10 days ago

Cirq

Treehouse Vineyard Pinot Noir 2013

Outstanding example of how a little age on the right wine can pay dividends. Seven years ago this wine was very good but hard to distinguish from other Kosta Brown vineyards. Today it has acquired charter comparable to a fine burgundy. Very pleased! — a month ago

Estate Bottled Goldridge Vineyard Pinot Noir 2021

2021 vintage. Medium/medium-heavy body. Smoky, plummy, spicy. Pretty crushable now but a decade+ aged bottle might unlock a secret, or two, of the universe. nicely done. 04.23.25. — a month ago

I love everything about these guys with the exception of the label. Not sure why it bugs me but I just wish it was a bit more modern.

Hanna

Russian River Valley Sauvignon Blanc 2023

This 100% Sauvignon Blanc comes from the Slusser Road Vineyard in the heart of the Russian River Valley, Sonoma known mostly for great Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs.
However; Hanna winery is fully committed to terroir and advocacy to the farm to table movement as a signature of the Sonoma lifestyle.
Beautiful crispy Sauv Blanc aged in stainless on lees, which opens your olfactory senses to perceive its citrusy, zesty lime, some wet-grassy notes and acacia flowers.
The palate welcomes a rather lighted-body with zero tension and touch of salinity by the mid-rage of the palate with short but refreshing finish. A patio companion in summer!
