The 1896-planted vines at Nervo Ranch produced one of the most complete wines of the lovely 2024 vintage. Farmed organically using no-till practices on steep, decomposed shale slopes just south of Geyserville, the Nervo Heritage is a wine of both perfume and power. A complex field blend of over 17...

Monte Rosso is rightly considered one of the great vineyards in California. Located in the Moon Mountain District—the Sonoma Valley side of Mt. Veeder—and planted on bright red soils, the vineyard has produced elegant, ageworthy wines since the mid-1880s. With Gallo’s significant investment and recent transition to organic farming (no...

Leroux’s Bourgogne Rouge has long been one of the benchmarks for how good regional Burgundy can be, and the 2023 release is no exception. This year’s blend pulls fruit from some excellent sites – Maison Dieu in Pommard, Mon Poulain in Volnay, and Les Belles Côtes in Meursault – with...

For this cuvée, Ben uses some of his own fruit from Meursault along with grape purchases from the Côte d’Or (including Vosne-Romanée) and the Hautes-Côtes de Beaune. Given the warmth of the year, the Hautes-Côtes fruit brings some freshness to the blend. Some of the wine was aged in Wineglobe...

Bright red-toned fruits and dried wild herb notes are tethered to rich cedar spices. Well-endowed with impressive depth and concentration, particularly evident in the mid-palate which is weighted by crushed stones and earthen minerality. Elongated tannins are crisp while acids are firm and tangy. Those capable of looking past its...

Over time the chicken coop and its outdoor fermenters and tiny basket press...

2020 was the second in two very warm, very dry vintages in the Barossa, but despite the conditions, I have found many of the wines to show vitality and energy in their fruit spectrums. The fruit for this 2020 Shiraz Alice's is from Seppeltsfield in...

Each year at harvest, Occidental Station is our first vineyard to be picked. Since the fruit always goes into our fermenters first, it does not enjoy the benefit of large populations of yeast already circulating in the winery. Therefore, it is often the slowest to start and may take over...

In 2008, Occidental purchased our 250-acre Bodega Ridge property, which lies on the same ridge as the Bodega Headlands property and clearly overlooks the Pacific. In 2012, Occidental began planting 65 acres of pinot noir on this property. From the very beginning, we hoped to produce two single-vineyard bottlings from...

A big, solid red with blackcurrant, blackberry and hazelnut character. It’s structured and tightly wound with dense, creamy tannins that provide form and intensity. A little tight at the end. Give it two or three years to open a little more. Try in 2024.
