Only 476 cases produced of this stunning Chardonnay from a small, rather remarkable parcel in the Durell Vineyard...

Jeb Dunnuck
(6/5/2018) "From blocks in the Durrell vineyard (the parcel is rolled river rocks soils), the 2015 Chardonnay Stone Cote Vineyard offers a medium gold color as well as a sensational bouquet of ripe, caramelized citrus, crushed rocks, tangerine, and marine/seashell-like aromas and flavors. Aged 16 months in 37% new French oak, it's deep, rich, and thrillingly textured, with bright, juicy acidity keeping it vibrant and focused. It's a stunning Chardonnay to drink over the coming decade."

Hartford Court "Far Coast" Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir 2013
93
Wine Advocate
(10/29/2015) "The 2013 Pinot Noir Far Coast Vineyard, which comes from a mountain ridge north of Fort Ross on the Sonoma Coast (408 cases), shows lots of herbaceousness, Japanese green tea notes intermixed with cocoa, black cherries, pomegranate and a hint of earth. This is a spicy, distinctively herbal style of Pinot Noir that readers will either love or not. I did like it, because it offers such a contrast in style to the other Pinot Noirs from Don Hartford's winery. Drink it over the next 7-8 years."

Sojourn "Campbell Ranch" Sonoma Coast Chardonnay 2013
94
Wine Enthusiast
(9/1/2015) "From a high-elevation site near the outpost of Annapolis, close to the Mendocino border, this is a briny, salty and soft wine, complex and bristling in acidity, yet possessed of subtle power and finesse. Enjoy now or over time, cellaring through 2018."

Peay Vineyards Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir 2015

Vinous, Antonio Galloni
(1/2017) "The 2015 Pinot Noir (Sonoma Coast) is a terrific appellation level wine from Peay. Bright red stone fruit, blood orange, tobacco, mint and orange peel give the wine its distinctive upper register. Finessed and light on its feet, the 2015 exudes class. This is a fabulous showing and an overachiever for the year. Drinking window: 2018 - 2025."

Vinous, Antonio Galloni
(3/2017) "The 2016 Gamay (Sonoma Coast) is superb. Bright, deep and fleshy, the 2016 makes a strong first impression with its super-expressive bright red-toned flavors. The 100% whole clusters add striking nuance throughout. The Pax Gamay is made from vines in Castelli-Knight Ranch, the first Gamay planted on the Sonoma Coast. It will be interesting to see how this wine develops in future vintages. The 2016 is hugely promising."

Vinous, Antonio Galloni
(3/2017) "The 2015 Syrah (Sonoma Coast) is another of the many highlights in this range from Arnot-Roberts. Inky and intense, and yet light on its feet, the 2015 has it all. Violet, lavender and black pepper add aromatic nuance. The 2015 was done with 100% whole clusters, but the stems aren't especially noticeable. This is a fabulous wine from Duncan Arnot and Nathan Roberts. Even better, it is a stunning value. Don't miss it!"

Hartford Court "Land's Edge Vineyards" Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir 2014

Wine Advocate
(10/29/2015) "The only 2014 tasted was the early-bottled 2014 Pinot Noir Land's Edge Vineyards, which come from a vineyard four miles from the Pacific Ocean. Aged in 32% new French oak, the wine displays raspberry and blueberry fruit, damp earth, fresh porcini mushrooms and plenty of minerality. This is a juicy, tightly knit, but concentrated and promising Pinot Noir that has that forward fruit of this vintage well displayed. Drink Date: 2015 - 2023."

(10/1/2014) "This gorgeous rendering comes from the owners of Reuling Vineyard itself, made famous years ago by the likes of Mark Aubert. Here, in winemaker Matt Taylor's hands, the wine recalls orange blossom and steely wet stone. Layers of mid-weight pear and almond paste deliver aching complexity on through the fig-infused finish. This is one to cellar 2019-2024."
