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

Pristine, ripe black fruit, umami, high acid. No signs of age. #liveforever. Thank you @Garrett Pierce. — 10 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
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

Smells like a Pinot tastes like young Rioja — 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

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
