Stephen Ross partnered with the Talley and Kynsi wineries to plant this vineyard just four miles from the ocean. The vines, rounding 20 years old, produced a lively and bright pinot with tart cherry notes, a hint of leather to lend savor. Its flavors run deeper, while tense acidity and a lean texture keeps the wine on point for duck prosciutto.

2020 Stephen Ross Pinot Noir Stone Corral Vineyard, Edna Valley, CA: Retail $68. Dark in color and aromas with some earth and fruit. Dark on the palate as well but this works. Dark cherry and a touch of funky earthiness, very nice. Excellent. 91 Points.

Fresh cranberry, rose petal, lavender, brioche and French toast spices make for a rich nose on this wine. The palate lands with ample spice and sage seasonings, as rounded and ripe black-plum flavors dominate. —M.K.
