2023 Chardonnay, Terraces, Sonoma Mountain - 94 points
The 2023 Chardonnay Sonoma Mountain Terraces is laced with dried pear, ginger, herbs, menthol and crushed flowers. This phenolic, savory Chardonnay is all about structure, while fruit lies more in the background. It is an incredibly distinctive wine that shows how magical Sonoma Mountain is for Chardonnay.

2023 GMS, Mendocino County - (92-94) points
The 2023 GMS is a total knockout. Aromatic, lifted and silky, the 2023 is all class. Cedar, sweet pipe tobacco and orange peel confer exotic beauty. This weightless, refined red is so alluring. The purity of fruit here is just dazzling. I can’t wait to taste it from bottle. Antonio Galloni, Vinous Jan 2025
2023 Syrah, Griffin’s Lair Vineyard, Sonoma Coast - 97 points
The 2023 Syrah Griffin’s Lair is packed with inky dark fruit, chocolate, new leather, cloves and menthol. Ample and enveloping, the Griffin’s Lair is a big potent wine. The 100% stems are totally buried in the wine’s luxurious fabric. All the intensity of a year marked by small berries comes through loud and clear. I loved the Griffin’s Lair last year in barrel, and I love it again today in finished form. Antonio Galloni, Vinous Jan 2026
