2020 Rosé of Pinot Noir
Retail $25. 100% Pinot Noir. Under screw cap. I would consider Paula and Stephen (Steve) Ross Dooley friends, so I was happy when they decided to send a couple of bottles of their Rosé of Pinot Noir for the tasting. I was even happier to find out that I and the rest of the panel really liked it, despite the fact that it was randomly selected as the first wine of 68 that we tasted. Pale pink with a lovely nose on cotton candy and strawberry/peach. The palate is absolutely singing with great fruit, lovely acidity and a fantastic finish. A really great start to the tasting. Outstanding 93 Points.

Meyer lemon and cantaloupe converge on the dynamic nose of this bottling along with white flowers, yellow pears and chalk. That white-rock minerality consumes the grippy palate, where Asian pear, light guava and jasmine flavors emerge. - MATT KETTMANN

2017 Pinot Gris, Spanish Springs Vineyard
2017 Grenache, Bee Sweet Vineyard
2017 Pinot Noir, Edna Valley - Estate Bottled
"This appellation blend offers a more affordable crack at what veteran winemaker Steve Dooley is up to. Focused aromas of boysenberry pie, vanilla, cinnamon and dried tarragon lead into a palate loaded with Bing cherry, cardamom and chai spice."
- Matt Kettmann
2017 Pinot Noir, Stone Corral Vineyard - Estate Bottled
"Elegant aromas of packed flowers, smashed raspberry, dried herbs, dark soil and rocky minerality show on the nose of this bottling from a vineyard in the heart of the appellation. The palate hints at game and earth while leading with tangy black-plum and purple-flower flavors."
- Matt Kettmann
2017 Pinot Noir, Escolle Vineyard
"Elegantly subdued aromas of dried plum, dusty earth and dried violet aromas show on the nose of this bottling from one of the northernmost vineyards in the appellation. The palate is loaded with floral tones, from lavender to lilac to violet, which decorate the underlying purple fruits."
- Matt Kettmann
2017 Pinot Noir, Santa Lucia Highlands
"Baked cherry, root-beer-candy and caramel aromas show on the nose of this appellation blend. The palate offers more cooked fruit flavors and cola spice, dusted with dried earth tones."
- Matt Kettmann
2017 Zinfandel, Dante Dusi Vineyard
"From a historic vineyard, this is Zin done in an old-school, lighter style. Aromas of red plum, wet stone, damp wood and red spice show on the nose. A lush strawberry-sorbet flavor underlies the palate, where wild mint and more soggy forest-floor touches also arise."
- Matt Kettmann
