Floral aromas. Crisp acidity. Limited production. Notable minerality. Lemon. Peaches. Apples. Pears. A beautiful choice! — 8 years ago
Off the hook @Lyle Fass This has a a type of thunder that would pierce the hardest steel around. Reminds of what nature and man is capable of if working together. Wow' — 8 years ago

We visited Stony Hill as the first winery in NAPA Valley last summer. Their wines still pierce your heart. This Chardonnay changed my mind about Chardonnay. Top of the line! You cannot go wrong with her wines. — 11 years ago

Bodega Pierce 2015 Malvasia Bianca, Rolling View Vineyard, Cochise County, Arizona. Purchased on my last trip to AZ. Served chilled with a cheese plate and friends on a sunny evening in my backyard. Aromas of pineapple, melon and fragrant honeysuckle with a hint of green herbs. Noticeable salinity. Viscous mouthfeel. A pretty wine for casual springtime sipping. — 8 years ago

A baby, but Coravin pierce from 2 weeks ago has slowly added oxygen. 2-3 more years and maybe the structure of this will mellow but it's young and fierce, but yet elegant at the same time. Raspberry, licorice, and forest floor. — 10 years ago

Everything I like about Grenache in one bottle - floral nose, berry fruit, spice, subtle tannins and some acidity for balance. A tiny bit dryer and it would be perfect. Winemaker's comments: 1/3 from old vines at McDowell Vineyard in Mendocino, 2/3 from younger vines at Pierce Ranch in SW Monterey. — 11 years ago
Raspberry, lavender, unruled marionberry, subtle spice. — 8 years ago
A cheery mix of coconut, unripe pineapple, and tannins. I love this Monterey wine. It reminds me of the old days, of a college party with music, booze, frat guys, and Malibu Rum. — 8 years ago
Agreed with Garrett Pierce one of the best if not the best NW Chardonnays I've ever had — 8 years ago
Holy hell. Top of the "KRIEK" charts. 2006 vintage. Quite a bit reminiscent of Flanders Red. Carbonation stays overnight. Pierce the cap carefully, else lose precious juice. — 9 years ago
Small batch 100 proof. Saved a sip to review. Evergreen (blue spruce) dough, caramel covered almonds, nutty as hell, baklava thing going with the pistachio and honey, maple and walnut coming in a close second. Banana bread, acorn squash, cinnamon and baked sugar, vanilla icing and a return to pine, in a crystalline sap way. Life is a box of bourbon candies. The palate starts hot, with a wooden paddle waiting for gluttonous candy fiends. Krampus whips your tongue with cinnamon oils and a cedar rush. Vanilla-oak spikes pierce your palate from all angles. Oatmeal, maple, raw wheat, brown sugar and sparks! Hot, holy moley! This one tells you to dance, and you durn well better! #knobcreek #caskstrength #bourbon — 9 years ago
