2011	Le Cadeau	Blanc de Noir 2011	One of a crop of new Oregon sparklers, this was barrel fermented with native yeast and aged for 56 months prior to disgorging. Fine tiny bubbles and a fresh, yeasty aroma introduce the wine, which has excellent concentration. Green apple and green banana, a touch of cucumber and a nice toasty frame all combine gracefully. The odds are that this will continue to improve in bottle for another five years at least. —P.G.	Wine Enthusiast	91		2017-04-17
2015	Jolete	Pinot Noir	Winemaker Tom Mortimer also produces the outstanding Aubichon wines; this is his own label, and it offers exceptional value. It’s stylish,modern and elegant, with precisely-defined raspberry fruit accented with sweet ripe tomato. The wine has a crisp sculpted mouthfeel, and just the slightest suggestion of barrel toast framing the finish.—P.G	Wine Enthusiast	90		2017-04-17

2015	Lafond	Chardonnay Santa Rita Hills	Honeyed aromas of walnut oil, baked yellow apples and sea salt show on the nose of this bottling by Bruce McGuire and crew. Juicy applecinnamon and pound cake flavors show on the sip, but it’s the salty edge that keep it buoyant and savory, like a perfectly roasted chicken. —M.K.	Wine Enthusiast	90		2017-04-17
2015	Sojourn	Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast	This larger-production wine is sourced from several single-vineyard sites, including Rodgers Creek, Sangiacomo and Gap’s Crown. Together they find unity in fruit-forward flavors of blueberry, cherry and pomegranate, the oak persistent and powerful amidst a backdrop of tight-grained tannin. The concentration is pronounced. —V.B.	Wine Enthusiast	90		2017-04-17
2015	Sojourn	Rodgers Creek Pinot Noir	Lush and full-bodied layers of velvety texture support firm flavors of baked cherry, pomegranate, pine forest and earth, a vibrant current of acidity bursting beneath. Layers of tannin provide a hearty mouthfeel and sense of density, signaling a robust vintage. —V.B.	Wine Enthusiast	91		2017-04-17

2015	Sojourn	Sangiacomo Chardonnay	Salty on the palate, this medium-bodied wine is focused in tension and nervy freshness, with a generosity of complex fruit. Lime, pear and fig ride a cool-climate wave of orange peel that lifts the underlying density and concentration at work in this vintage. —V.B.	Wine Enthusiast	92		2017-04-17
