2018 Chardonnay Platt Vineyard | 95
Brought up in a mix of 40% concrete eggs and barrel, 15% being new, the medium gold-hued 2018 Chardonnay Platt Vineyard has lots of buttered citrus, exotic flowers, Meyer lemon, toasted almonds, and a hint of brioche to go with a medium to full-bodied, beautifully balanced, seamless Chardonnay that has loads of character. Itโs beautifully done, has plenty of richness, a clean, bright spine of acidity, and a great finish. – Jeb Dunnuck (7/29/2020)
2018 Pinot Noir Platt Vineyard | 95
Slightly more expensive, the single vineyard 2018 Pinot Noir Platt Vineyard spent 17 months in 20% new barrels. Itโs a bigger wine, with a touch more mid-palate density and depth, yet it still has plenty of underlying structure and tannic gip, offering up lots of redcurrent and darker cherry fruit as well as curing spices, smoke, and forestry, earthy notes. Give this rocking effort 2-4 years of bottle age and enjoy over the following decade or more. This beauty strikes a good balance between Old World and New World. – Jeb Dunnuck (7/29/2020)
2018 Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir | 94
Moving to the Pinot Noirs, the base appellation 2018 Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast was 60% destemmed and spent 11 months in 20% new French oak. This gorgeous Pinot Noir displays lots of red and black raspberry fruits, notes of forest floor, smoked earth, and a touch of graphite. With medium-bodied richness, a solid spine of acidity, building tannins, and straight-up beautiful balance, itโs going to benefit from another year or two of bottle age and keep for a decade. Itโs beautifully done. – Jeb Dunnuck (7/29/2020)
2018 Sonoma Coast Chardonnay | 91
The 2018 Chardonnay Sonoma Coast is a classic Sonoma Coast Chardonnay from the Martinelli and Qual Hill Vineyard. It spent 11 months in 25% new French oak, with 20% of the blend brought up in concrete eggs. Lots of orchard fruits, pear, honeysuckle, and brioche emerge from the glass of this soft, more approachable, delicious Chardonnay, which has a kiss of background oak, medium body, and outstanding length.ย – Jeb Dunnuck (7/29/2020)
