Wine Enthusiast, 2022 Stephen Ross Pinot Noir, Stone Corral Vineyard — Estate, 94 Points • August 2025
“Wild and exciting if slightly untethered aromas of pomegranate, raspberry, damp sagebrush and a light funk draw the nose into this wine. The palate lands with more bold fruit and flower flavors, as raspberry, currant and lavender are dusted in a white pepper spice. —M.K.”

“The 2022 Pinot Noir Stone Corral Vineyard is a dense, powerful wine. Black cherry, lavender, rose petal, dried herbs and blood orange are some of the many notes that inform this brooding Pinot. There's plenty of energy, but most of it is directed inward.” — Antonio Galloni

Wine Enthusiast Editor's Choice, 2023 Pinot Noir, San Luis Obispo Coast, 93 Points.
This is a fantastic example of the SLO Coast, pairing fresh fruit with ample spice and aromatic herbs. The nose’s blend of cranberry, cherry, marjoram, and ajwain lead into the palate of tart red fruit, snappy sumac, and light game, as grapefruit peel gives extra kick. Editor’s Choice. —M.K.

“The 2022 Pinot Noir Greengate Vineyard is an elegant, sophisticated wine. Silky tannins and lifted floral aromatics very much add to that impression. Crushed red berry fruit, orange peel, cinnamon, cedar and rose petal all grace this mid-weight, sensual Pinot from Stephen Ross”

“Lovely and exuberant aromas of black raspberry jam and spicy plum are intensely fruity, but an underlying and elegant line of scarlet-red rose petals lifts the nose. The palate is suave with layers of cherry, purple flower and a delicious streak of licorice.” —M.K.
