“A richer, more serious Edna Valley release, the 2024 Chardonnay Greengate Vineyard shows outstanding aromatics of ripe stone fruits, minty herbs, and nicely integrated oak. It's balanced and medium-bodied, with clean acidity and a good finish. Aged eight months in once- and twice-filled French oak, drink this solid effort
over the coming 5-7 years. Drink 2026-2033.” - J.D.

“This cohesively crafted wine will appease those who seek richness and thrill those needing zesty energy. Aromas of singed lemon peel, nectarine, and hazelnut drop into a grippy palate of lemon zest and lightly toasted macadamia nut. Generous while chalky.” —M.K.

This is a bold but balanced bottling, beginning with black cherry and mace on the concentrated nose. The palate is lush in texture, though a penetrating acidity steadily rises through the pepper, licorice, and rich fruit flavors. Drink now–2036. Cellar Selection. —M.K.

Potent yet fresh aromas cruise from black cherry to cola to vanilla on the classically layered nose of this single-vineyard expression. The palate pairs a lush mouthfeel with tense tannic depth, as flavors of rhubarb pie, star anise, and crushed river stone slide into the finish of the wine. —M.K.

A beautiful, semi-translucent Pinot Noir from a great site in the Edna Valley, the 2023 Pinot Noir Stone Corral Vineyard offers up red plums, darker cherries, dried herbs, and some smoky, earthy nuances on the nose. It's medium-bodied, with a pure, layered mouthfeel, beautiful tannins, and a good finish. It spent 16 months in
35% new French oak, and it has plenty to love. I suspect it will have a good decade of overall longevity. Drink 2026-2036.

Redcurrants, leather, peppery spice, spicy herbs, and violets all emerge from the 2023 Pinot Noir La Encantada Vineyard, which was vinified with 100% stems and aged 16 months in 33% new French oak. It's beautiful on the palate, medium to full-bodied, with a pure, layered mouthfeel and a great finish. Drink 2026-2033.
Wine Enthusiast, 2024 Stephen Ross Chardonnay, Edna Valley, 93 Points • February 2026
Tense aromas of Meyer lemon peel and pith are leveled by a hint of crème fraîche on the nose of this appellation cuvée. The palate is enveloping in texture, showing soft lemon curd and baked pear flavors that are cut with a clay-like minerality and some firm tannins. —M.K.

“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
