2022 MacRostie Nightwing Vineyard 828 Clone Pinot Noir Petaluma Gap – 94 Points
”A totally dazzling bottling, the 2022 MacRostie ‘Nightwing Vineyard Dijon Clone 828’ Pinot Noir comes from this higher elevation site in the Petaluma Gap. This is rich, velvety and well-structured stuff, offering loamy soil character alongside rich dark fruits, cola and shades of sassafras on the palate. Gorgeous now, enjoy over the next ten years. Drink 2025-2035”
2022 MacRostie Sonoma Coast Chardonnay – 93 Points
”The 2023 ‘Sonoma Coast’ Chardonnay delivers salted peaches and diatomaceous earth on the nose alongside Japanese pear. The palate is filled with texture and underlying minerality with a gorgeous salty edge. Drink 2025-2032”
2024 MacRostie Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir – 92 Points
”The really good 2023 ‘Sonoma Coast’ Pinot Noir delivers juicy strawberry and guava fruits alongside salty soils and cranberry on the palate. Medium to full-bodied enjoy now and over the next few years. Drink 2025-2031”
