Have you ever wondered what goes into California’s most iconic Pinot Noir? It all starts in the fields with ridiculously high-quality grapes sourced from some of California’s best vineyards, but it’s what happens next that makes them a model of quality and consistency every vintage. The winery follows a strict minimal interference approach to their winemaking with absolutely no pumping, no filtering or any other process that can potentially unsettle or compromise quality. From there, it’s about the smallest details, like the old-world method of foot treading the grapes (in clean waders) that leads to the naturally regal quality that you can taste in their wines. The winery excelled in 2017 with exceptional levels of seductive fruits, supreme complexity and stunning balance. Their Eastside Road Neighbors is one of my all time favorites, and at under $100, the level of quality leaves me at a loss for words…
Forged from iconic vineyards, the 2017 offers an equilibrium of intense red fruits, fine details and stunning balance. The winery made history when Wine Enthusiast awarded their Litton Estate Pinot a perfect 100 Point score, which was the first Pinot in North America to earn 100 points from any major wine publication. If you want to experience a prime example of domestically produced Pinot Noir, here’s a terrific opportunity.

Vieilles Vignes means old vines, and Guy Robin is one of my favorite producers of old vine Chablis. He began collecting old Chablis parcels back in the 60s, and few other Chablis estates have such a rich collection of older vines. As a result, few wineries can deliver Chablis wines of such character and complexity. At $36, his Chablis VV offers dynamic complexity, laser focus, and optimum balance.
Guy’s daughter Marie-Ange leads the Estate and shares her father’s passion for old vines. She creates their Vieilles Vignes Chablis from vines averaging four decades in age, and many of the neighboring plots are premier cru sites, sharing similar soils and climate.
Guy Robin hand-harvests their Chardonnay grapes at the pinnacle of ripeness. He immediately presses them at the winery, where they’re held in a tank for 24 hours to settle naturally. The winery ferments in temperature-controlled, stainless steel tanks, and they also age in tanks to preserve the fruit’s most natural expression.
