2021 Cobb Vineyards Pinot Noir Coastlands Vineyard Sonoma Coast

To get a sense of Ross Cobb’s status on the Sonoma Coast, just look at the wineries that have recruited him: Burt Williams and Bob Cabral of Williams-Selyem nabbed him in 1998. Flowers hired him away in 2000, eventually making him head winemaker. Then David Hirsch called, asking to do the same, in 2009. Ross’s 2021 Coastlands Pinot Noir—from a site that Ross planted himself—makes it easy to see why his wines currently have SEVEN slots on the list at the MICHELIN three-star SingleThread. It earned 96+ points from Wine Advocate, who declared it “powerful and nuanced.” A blue-chip bottle that stands with the best of the region. 

2021 Baker & Hamilton Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville Napa Valley

Grown entirely at Vine Hill Ranch, farmed by Michael Wolf of Scarecrow fame, made by the 2019 San Francisco Chronicle Winemaker of the Year Françoise Peschon, and boasting 95 points from The Wine Independent and James Suckling, this is one of the most remarkable Cabernets out there. Antonio Galloni of Vinous called it “absolutely gorgeous” and hailed Baker & Hamilton as “one of Napa Valley’s undiscovered jewels.” It’s a first-class Cabernet that all Napa lovers should have in their cellar.
