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. — 3 months ago

Patz & Hall

Dutton Ranch Chardonnay 2020

Pale lemon color with aromas of ripe fruits, citrus, vanilla and nutty scents. On the palate complex flavors of apple, peach, pineapple and lemon citrus, well balanced with acidity on a nice mouthfeel. Long finish ending with oak, vanilla, mineral and citrus notes, will continue to age. A beautiful Chardonnay. — 3 months ago

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. — 2 months 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!

Edge Hill

Bacigalupi Vineyard Chardonnay 2013

Still delicious and has changed less with age than I expected. Not sure if I should have sat on it longer. It has gotten nuttier with hazelnut becoming more prominent. Still a lot of oak and lemon, with a touch of flint and brioche. It’s — 7 months ago
