The Russian River today is almost synonymous with the best Pinot and Chardonnay in the country but it wasn’t always so. When David Bynum and wife Dorothy first purchased their 83-acre ranch in 1971 – the area was mostly overrun with high-producing varieties of cheap Merlot grown in prolific quantities.
But Bynum and team had a different vision. He wanted to create the best wines possible, not what would be easy to sell on the bulk market. So in 1973 he single-handedly set in motion a new standard in RRV single vineyard Pinot & Chardonnay to this day by bottling the first one ever. About that very first vintage – Davis was coy, it was “really good, surprisingly good” he said.
His pioneering spirit didn’t stop there and he eventually built a winemaking dream team to help support his vision. First he hired Gary Farrell to head up the continued improvement of his single-vineyard Pinot Program. Not only did Gary stop at nothing to bring Davis Bynum wines to the absolute forefront of quality, as you probably know by now, he did ok when he hung up his own shingle.
When Gary left, Davis and company filled his large footsteps with a winemaking icon in David Ramey whose hands are all over today’s single-vineyard Chardonnay stunner.

From just west of Sancerre, Vincent’s vines are tended organically in flint-laden, calcareous soil which lends a great brightness to the wine. The wine is crisp and aromatic Sauvignon, and is a superb choice for a “cocktail” wine, as an aperitif or to accompany just about anything from sea.
It’s an electric white Burgundy, with a limestone-laced aromatic profile of green apple, pear and hazelnut. Refined and high-toned, the pure, delicious fruit that is a hallmark of this terrific vintage, finishes long and fresh, with a mile-long mineral streak.
Elena Walch’s newly released 2022 Pinot Bianco continues to be the best example of Pinot Blanc anywhere. She’s the undisputed queen. There’s so much energy in this new release. Super light in color, with a busy nose that boasts ripe aromas of citrus, granny smith apple with a hint of freshly mowed grass. Made entirely in stainless steel, the wine is expressive, fresh and finishes as clean and tight as can be. Definitely will continue the run of 90+ scores once this one is reviewed.
The newly released Riesling Feinherb 2021 is a lively, juicy wine with an elegant bouquet of minerals, wet stone and ripe fruit. On the palate, the wine’s slight off-dry component is beautifully balanced by the steely acidity typical of the Mosel. Because this is freshly released, the fruit is vibrant and succulent and it comes in somewhere between off-dry and semi-sweet. It’s a great example of Riesling, especially at the price.
