The 2022 Chardonnay Olivet Lane Vineyard is pretty, open-knit and seductive. Baked apple, apricot, lemon confit, marzipan and a kiss of French oak all run through this expressive, inviting Chardonnay. All the elements are so well balanced.

The 2022 Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley) is a classic wine for the appellation and a terrific introduction to the vineyard-designates in this range. Succulent dark cherry/plum fruit, mocha, new leather, cedar, cola and a kiss of French oak are all dialed up. Soft, creamy tannins wrap it all together in style.

As much in the savory camp as fruity, this red reveals plum, black cherry, almond, leather, earth, eucalyptus and iron flavors. There are dense, dusty tannins—but, more importantly, bracing acidity that keeps this red energetic and pulsing on the long finish. Best from 2028 through 2045.

Dip a Golden Delicious apple slice in caramel to get an idea of how fabulous this wine smells. Additional aromas include peach, orange and ginger. Flavors like graham crackers slathered in guava icing, honeycomb and peach glide along a soft, thick palate. The acidity is on the soft side, but the “yum factor” is high.
