“Bob Gibson farms this estate vineyard in the hills north of Boonville, gaining organic certification in 2019. It grows a supple, rich chardonnay with quiet energy in an undercurrent of tart lemon, minerals and yellow mustard flowers. Integrated and round.”

“The 2018 Pinot Noir Estate is a very pretty wine that melds together the various signatures of the estate vineyards. Savory and deep, with terrific persistence, the Estate naturally does not offer the singularity of the vineyard designates, and yet it is a wonderfully complete wine. Dried herbs, tobacco, cedar, crushed autumn leaves, plum and dark spice fill out the layers effortlessly.”

“The 2017 Pinot Noir Estate is a barrel selection taken from all three estate vineyards, but built on a core from Dach, which resembles in its earthy, savory profile. Crushed flowers, mint, pine, iron, dried autumn leaves and mineral notes are laced throughout this finely-cut, slightly nervy Pinot. Sweet floral notes add the closing shades of nuance.”

“The presence of striking acidity within a depth of boysenberries and cola makes for one dynamic red. White pepper-sprinkled Luxardo cherries go earthbound with mushrooms and dried leaves before the remarkably savory finish leaves a fine trace of plum skin on the palate.”

“The lively lemon and Bosc pear in this concentrated, fruit-driven wine give it an almost electric texture, making the mouth water and refreshing the palate. Subtle vanilla and almond notes are wrapped pretty tightly by fruit acidity. Built to improve with age, this wine will be best from 2024.”
