2022 Rosé of Pinot Noir
Light, barely pink with a hint of orange. Quite expressive on the nose with plenty of peach and melon. Fruity and lovely on the palate with all that fruit plus plenty of acidity to balance it out. Quite juicy and expressive, this is a lovely wine. Fantastic. Outstanding. 94 Points

2019 Pinot Noir, Stone Corral Vineyard
The 2019 Pinot Noir Stone Corral Vineyard was also destemmed and was raised in 40% new French oak. It has a great nose of ripe raspberries, spring flowers, sage, and toasted spices. These all carry to a medium-bodied Pinot Noir with a great texture, silky tannins, and a terrific finish. It's beautifully done and one of the standouts in the lineup.

2020 Chardonnay, Bee Sweet Vineyard
The 2020 Chardonnay Bee Sweet Vineyard is also solid, with plenty of ripe citrus and melon notes, some background oak, medium body, and a balanced, layered, nicely textured style on the palate.

2020 Albariño, Spanish Springs Vineyard
Retail $28. Under screw top. As I continue along this wine writing path, I count more and more producers as “friends.” I realize that is perhaps dangerous or at least suggests bias. Perhaps. But when it comes to Stephen and Paula Dooley, owners of Stephen Ross? Our friendship predates my blog, so there is no bias. Perfect logic. So when I say this is one of the best Albariños I have tried–regardless of continent–I am not jaded at all by the affinity I have for the couple. Bright fruit, zingy acidity, and just a level of chutzpah that, as I said, I can’t remember experiencing in an Albariño. Bravo. Outstanding. 94 Points.
