2017 SENS3S Chardonnay Charles Heintz Vineyard Sonoma Coast
4/26/2024 - Alexander Smith wrote: 91 Points
This certainly was a full bodied, slightly reductive, honeyed style of chardonnay. This certainly won't be for everyone and on first taste it nearly tastes sweet, my guess is that they pick this vineyard super late since the fruit is golden in terms of texture along with the oak. Aromas of golden pear, apple tart, ginger, white florals, vanilla tart, honey and lemon balm. The palate was rich and succulent with juicy golden orchard fruit, very sweet spices, honey, nougat and gummy bears. The mid-palate is full finishing with notes of sweet spices.

2022 Three Sticks Pinot Noir Price Family Estates
4/25/2024 - Alexander Smith Likes this wine: 93 Points
2022 was not an easy vintage in Sonoma, saying that this is a very solid effort, there is a lack of brightness in nearly all Pinot Noirs I have tasted from this vintage, yet with this wine there is still wonderful layers and textured on the mid-palate, dark plum, bruised cherry, a little fig and crushed florals. The palate is slightly creamy with dark plush fruit, cayman spice and pepper, the finish is slightly warm yet alluring.

2021 Soter Pinot Noir Estates
4/21/2024 - Alexander Smith Likes this wine: 94 Points
Fantastic purity and elegance on this Pinot Noir from Soter. Blackcurrant, dark cherry, dark plum, dark crushed violets, black tea and gummy bears. The palate shows incredible depth and elegance, dark nearly black fruit fruit flood the palate , with incredibly silky tannins, black tea notes, a little crushed stone sparkly texture as well on the mid palate. So much persistence and layers yet underlining elegance to this wine, finishes long and with a little spice. 94-95
