Where It's From

Region / California

View more wines from California

When it comes to US wine production, California is King. California wines account for almost 90% of all wines produced in the United States each year, and is home to the most celebrated vineyards and producers in the country. California is probably best known for its world-famous Cabernets and Chardonnays, many of which hail from its two most-acclaimed AVAs, Napa Valley and Sonoma County. Other prominent grapes used in California wines include Merlot, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc, Syrah, and Zinfandel (which California made popular).

Country / United States

View more wines from United States

The United States now ranks fourth in the world in wine production behind, France, Italy, and Spain. While about 90% of that wine is produced in California, other states like Oregon, New York, and Washington are establishing themselves as prime spots for wine production, as well. Just about any variety of wine can be found in production somewhere in the United States.

The 2021 Pinot Noir Russian River Valley was matured for 15 months in 34% new oak. It has a medium ruby color and generous aromatic layers of lavender, licorice, eucalyptus and forest floor with a core of dark fruit. The medium-bodied palate is powerful, its concentrated fruit complemented by well-integrated oak spice. It has abundant, grainy tannins, bursts of mouthwatering acidity and a very long, layered finish. Offer it another 2–3 years in bottle to unwind. (Erin Brooks)
JD9494 pts. - Jeb Dunnuck - 7/21/2023
Taking on more richness both visually and aromatically, the 2021 Pinot Noir Russian River Valley is generous with violets, black cherry, and cola spices. Medium to full-bodied, it has ripe, sweet tannins, with notes of black tea, expansive black raspberry fruit, and toasted cedar. It offers good richness and has a classic feel with a long finish. Drink 2024–2034. (Audrey Frick)
SP8989 pts. - Wine Spectator - Jun 26, 2023
Juicy and engaging, with a ball of kirsch wrapped in licorice and black tea notes, revealing a light wood spice echo on the toasty finish. Drink now through 2025. 8,175 cases made. (James Molesworth)

The 2021 Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast is floral with perfume and ripe red berries, as well as notes of framboise, rosemary, and incense. Offering fantastic balance, with fine tannins, fresh seamless acidity, and a good purity of fruit, this is a very attractive wine now and will continue to provide prime drinking over the next 12 or more years. (Audrey Frick)
RP9393 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 15th Jun 2023
The 2021 Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast was matured in 39% new oak for 15 months. The nose opens slowly from allspice and brown sugar to a core of red cherry and cranberry, tea leaves and lavender. The medium-bodied palate offers surprisingly concentrated fruit supported by grainy tannins and seamless freshness, and it has a long, spicy finish. (Erin Brooks)
SP8989 pts. - Wine Spectator - Jun 26, 2023
Ripe and friendly, with a tasty mix of gently mulled cherry and raspberry notes mixed with subtle red tea, singed sandalwood and a twinge of savory. Drink now through 2025. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. 7,775 cases made. (James Molesworth)

The 2021 Pinot Noir Soberanes Vineyard was matured for 10 months in 45% new French oak. It has intense aromas of cranberry, raspberry, orange peel, forest floor and conifer. The medium-bodied palate is lightly chalky and refreshing with a concentrated core of layered, spicy fruit and a long finish. It feels latent and will benefit from 2–3+ years in bottle. 399 cases were made. (Erin Brooks)
SP9191 pts. - Wine Spectator - Nov 30, 2023
Ripe and lush, with a curvy core of blackberry and black cherry preserves streaked with black licorice, ending with a solid dose of toast. A bit amped up in style, but will have its fans. Drink now through 2027. 399 cases made. (James Molesworth)

Lovely energy to this with lavender and rose petal with strawberries and raspberries. Slate and stone undertones. Minerality. Seaweed. Medium- to full-bodied with creamy tannins. Fine texture. Fresh at the end. Tension in the finish. Drink or hold. (James Suckling)
WE9393 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 7/1/2023
A rich mouthfeel and well-ripened fruit flavors give this full-bodied wine a friendly, generous expression, while modest tannins add a touch of grip to balance things out. Accented with an array of oak spices, the wine is easy to love. (Jim Gordon)
SP8888 pts. - Wine Spectator - Aug 7, 2023
Friendly and forward in feel, with a rounded core of raspberry and plum puree flavors guided by a light red licorice note through the sandalwood-tinged finish. Drink now through 2025. 7,999 cases made. (James Molesworth)

A wine with a lot of back end, with dark fruits of blackberry and cherry. Ripe strawberry. Hints of toasted oak and smoke. It’s full and layered with very firm and polished tannins. Very serious and real, and shows the structure of the vintage. Some chocolate. Strawberry pie, too. Drinkable but two to three years of age will help it. (James Suckling)

The 2021 Pinot Noir Wester Reach is fabulous. Bright and explosive, the Wester Reach is a fabulous introduction to the vintage at DuMOL. Red/purplish fruit, lavender, rose petal and kirsch are all pushed forward. This vibrant Russian River Pinot Noir is a total knock out. (Antonio Galloni)
SP9090 pts. - Wine Spectator - Sep 30, 2023
Plump and juicy, with a forthright mix of raspberry and boysenberry compote flavors fueled by light hibiscus, licorice and rose petal details through the finish. Drink now through 2026. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. 3,000 cases made. (James Molesworth)

I loved the 2021 Pinot Noir Estate, a rounded, medium-bodied, complex effort that has assorted sweet cherry and raspberry fruit, some spicy, herbal nuances, ripe tannins, and a lengthy finish. It’s not the most complex or layered Pinot Noir out there, but it sure is fun to drink. (Jeb Dunnuck)

Offers notes of plum preserves and cherry clafoutis that glide through, with sweet toast around the edges. The soft, easy finish lacks some form. Drink now. 9,356 cases made. (James Molesworth)
