2009 Laguna West Pinot Noir – “Double Gold” San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition

2009 Estate Pinot Noir – “Best of Class” San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition

2008 Estate Pinot Noir – 94 points – Wine Enthusiast – “A marvelous Pinot Noir to drink now and over the next 6-7 years. It feels so rich and elaborate, with waves of raspberries, cherries, cola and oak, yet is tightly controlled by firm tannins and a great burst of citrusy acidity. Grows better and better as it warms in the glass.” S.H. (March 2011)

2008 Estate Pinot Noir – 2011 San Francisco Wine Competition Gold Medal Winner

2008 Laguna West Pinot Noir – 93 points - Wine Enthusiast – “Here’s a beautiful Pinot Noir to drink now with upscale fare, like steak, lamb chop or grilled ahi tuna. It’s silky and dry and feels excellent in the mouth, with complex raspberry, cherry, cola and smoked meat flavors, sprinkled with cocoa powder and cinnamon. Delicious.”  S.H. (March 2011)

2008 Laguna West Pinot Noir – 2011 San Francisco Wine Competition Gold Medal Winner

2007 Estate Chardonnay – 2011 San Francisco Wine Competition Silver Medal Winner

2006 Chardonnay – 93 points - Wine Enthusiast - “This isn’t one of those rich, gooey Chardonnays that dazzle some people. But it’s a crisp, minerally wine that shows great elegance and Chablis-like sophistication. Dry and crisp, it shows complex flavors of tart green apples and pears, with subtle influences of smoky oak.”

2006 Chardonnay – 92 points - Wine Spectator – “Beautifully defined flavors of pure, rich pear, fig and honeydew melon are shaded by light spicy, toasty oak. Builds complexity and depth on the finish, which is long and detailed. Drink now through 2012.”

2005 Chardonnay – 90 points - Wine Enthusiast - “Acidity marks this Chardonnay. It gives a tart, mouth-cleansing citrusy scour to the lemon and lime and pineapple flavors that finish so dry. It’s a minimalist wine, with a minerally frame, and quite good with shellfish.
