A vivid, fresh, almost chewy wine that's vibrant in crisp apple and tangy lime flavors on the signature creamy texture of Ramey. Flavors emerge on the palate, including minerals, chalk and touches of flint and lemon zest. The grapes come from the Charles Ranch from vines planted in 1982. Drinkable now, but best from 2029.

The 2023 Chardonnay Fort Ross-Seaview comes from Martinelli’s Charles Ranch Vineyard. Originally planted in 1981 to Clone 4 and Old Wente, it’s located just three miles from the Pacific Ocean at 1,115 feet in elevation, and vines are planted in Goldridge and Josephine soils. The grapes were harvested October 18-21, and the wine was barrel-fermented. It matured for 12 months in 10% new French oak barrels and was bottled in January of 2025. It’s surprisingly open on the nose, with aromas of red apple, apricot, panna cotta, graham cracker and citrus blossom perfume. The medium-bodied palate is silky and vibrant, with pure, concentrated, saline-laced flavors and a very long, taut finish.

There's impressive precision and focus to the flavors in this white, with pure Meyer lemon, pomelo, yuzu and fresh ginger accents, plus a crunchy sea salt detail. Honeycrisp apple, lemon verbena and lemon blossom notes emerge on the finish, where the vibrant acidity gives this a firm backbone. Drink now through 2037. 3,429 cases made.

The 2016 Suvereto Montecristo is a luxuriously thick, classic blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot and 10% Petit Verdot that just breathes Coastal Tuscany, conjuring images of Mediterranean shrub and straight, cypress-lined roads leading to the sea. The area's clay soils give the wine extra succulence and softness, although as it turns out, they are not particularly well suited to Petit Verdot, so that portion has been reduced in this vintage. This is a soft and ripe red that would work great with a Tuscan white bean stew.

The 2016 Montecristo, 60% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Petit Verdot, is a dense, potent wine. Inky black fruit, chocolate, new oak and licorice all come through in this heady, flamboyant wine. The 2016 is not at all subtle, but it will please fans of the style.

A very spicy nose with lots of roasted rosemary, blackberries, sandalwood, cedar, thyme, pine cones and oyster shells. Full-bodied and intense on the palate with the wood certainly seeping through, but it also shows finesse and density. Drink from 2025.

The 2024 Chardonnay (Sonoma Coast) is a terrific introduction to the range. Apricot, white flowers, mint, white pepper and tangerine oil are nicely pushed forward. The warmer season yielded an especially forward, open-knit Chardonnay. It's a style that works quite well at this level.

A crisp Prosecco, with a zesty bead and subtle notes of pear, spring blossoms and stone. Glera, Chardonnay, Pinot Bianco and Pinot Grigio. Drink now. 7,000 cases imported.

Aromas of ginger, coconut and vanilla are tempered by this Albariño's absolutely hunger-pang-inducing note of salt and vinegar potato chips. The wine's airy texture and tingly acidity nicely complement its flavors of lemon and rosemary. There is also a difficult-to-identify tangy note hanging out here. It might be bread pickles, it could be fresh dill.

"The 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon Signature blends dried sage and rosemary with crushed black cherries and cedar shavings to form its brooding bouquet. Its silken textures soothe as juicy red and blue fruits swirl over a crisp mineral core. The 2023 finishes classically dry and structured, with a subtle citrus tinge as nuances of licorice linger long. There's a level of refinement here that I find quite satisfying, as the Signature has beautiful integration of oak and fruit."

"Dried black cherries and crushed plums mix with cocoa, sage and dried orange peels as the 2020 Brunello di Montalcino emerges from the glass. This displays incredible vibrancy within. It’s juicy and spry, with ripe red and black fruits elevated by brilliant acidity as nuances of sour citrus add further tension toward the close. The 2020 leaves the palate stained in primary concentration and a coating of fine tannins, tapering off spicy and long yet still lively as hints of tart raspberry keep the mouth watering for more. Recent vintages from Pian delle Vigne have delightful new energy and verve."

"Nicely balanced, with aromas of lemon confit, crushed stones, pastry, grapefruit and flint. The palate is mid-weighted with bright acidity and a zesty, vibrant finish. A well-balanced chardonnay to drink now." - Ryan Montgomery

Perfumed aromas of red currants, lavender, fresh thyme and graphite. The palate is medium-bodied with plush tannins and balanced acidity, giving flavors of raspberry coulis, red licorice and baking spices. Very soft and delicate, with a nicely constructed backbone. Drink or hold.
