My last bottle of sundawg ridge that James Macphail made (as off 2015 the Hess winemaker took over). It went beautifully with brined and grilled pork loin with peach/burata/mint salad! Love this. Feels like saying goodbye to an era and very much enjoyed it.

We loved MacPhail both enjoying their wines & visiting. This was our last bottle & it was also the best. Everything we love about about fine Pinots from single vineyards that MacPhail excelled at. Fruity, spicy, mouthfeel & long finish all there. Hope they make a comeback as they will be missed.

Big red fruited RRV pinot. Exactly what I expect from this bottle. Reasonable ABV and not hot. I will miss this winery when my remaining bottles are drank. And the folks in the tasting room in Sebastopol were just great.

Unfortunately last bottle. At its prime - great balance without being overly fruit forward.
