Jim Gordon
2021 Klopp Ranch Pinot Noir Russian River Valley – 94 Points, Editors’ Choice
“Robust in texture and well concentrated in flavor, this surprisingly light-bodied wine wraps rather firm tannins around black cherries, sour cherries, rhubarb and cloves. Thanks to the tangy restraint in the mouthfeel, it will pair beautifully with roast poultry, venison and the like. Best 2025–2032.”
2021 The Key Chardonnay – 93 Points
“Green apple and lemon zest aromas lead to lightly buttered toast, baked apples and lemon meringue in this medium-bodied, well-balanced and appetizing wine. It’s something fresh and elegant to begin a dinner party.”
2021 Thale’s Vineyard Pinot Noir Russian River Valley – 92 Points
“Good, concentrated cherry flavors and a mouthwatering texture align this medium-bodied wine for myriad food pairings from mushrooms to salmon to roast chicken. Moderate tannins brace the red and black cherries, cranberries and cloves that open up as you sip. Best through 2028.”
2021 Walala Vineyard Pinot Noir – 91 Points
“This sturdy, straightforward wine gets the job done with good red and black cherry flavors, a tangy texture and moderate tannins for pairing with richer dishes. Its pleasures are subtle and its balance is perfect.”

2021 Day Ranch Pinot Noir Anderson Valley – 92 Points
“Charming, fresh and well balanced, this wine exudes crushed raspberries and cherries in the aroma, then candied cherries, red apples and cinnamon on the palate. Light in body and low in tannins, it has a texture that is smooth and easy.”
