In terms of quality in the Russian River Valley, Gary Farrell’s winery has been at the very top of the totem pole for over 30 years. Their work with Burgundian varietals is simply unparalleled.
Even though the wine pioneer is long out of the picture now, the winery was put into the hands of rising superstar– Theresa Heredia (formerly with Joseph Phelps) in 2012. All she’s done since taking over is rack up just about every award and accolade in the book– taking a great legacy and turning it into a winemaking dynasty.
Since taking the helm, the winery has been named Winery of the Year by Pinot Report in 2015, Winery of the Year in 2016 by Pinot File, top 50 producers in Sonoma by Wine Spectator and has been named Top 100 Wineries in the World back-to-back years by Wine & Spirits Magazine.
Theresa earned a winemaker of the year nod last year from Wine Enthusiast– not a surprising feat when you consider she made their #1 Wine of the Year in 2017’s Top 100 list (the same Russian River Valley Selection Chard offered today from the 2015 vintage).
In fact, the Russian River Valley Selection Chardonnay may very well be the best wine Theresa makes. Not only was it the #1 wine of the year, it has also earned at least 94-points and an Editors’ Choice designation in four out of the last five years. And all of that at a very reasonable price point.

This outstanding wine offers a full-range of complex flavors, texture and depth, the grapes sourced from a who’s who of sites, including Bacigalupi, West side Farms and Rochioli. Gravenstein apple, Meyer lemon, tangerine and quenching acidity meld with a butterscotch accent and a balanced, rich texture.

We’re nearing the end of what was a flawlessly crafted, high energy coastal Chardonnay release from one of California’s hottest spots. It’s still every bit as bright and refreshing as you could want and it hits with clean, pristine green apple fruits, pears and citrus notes with a hint of that limestone-influenced minerality. It’s a fantastic wine for all seasons, the perfect pair with mixed seafood, summer tomatoes, corn and freshly caught fish.
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.

“Soaring lemon cream aromatics accented by notes of sea spray, lemongrass and beeswax mark this coastal Chardonnay from Flowers on the Sonoma Coast. The palate is fresh and linear. Oyster shell salinity, bee pollen and grilled lemon make for a savoury balance with delicate crushed chalk minerality.”
The newly released 2022 Domaine Laroche Chablis Saint Martin has some big shoes to fill as the last four vintages have earned 92-points or higher, but the early indications are that this is line with previous vintages if not even a little bit ahead at this stage. The problem is – there’s almost none to go around with much smaller yields. Still this is beautiful and crisp, with good focus, energy and depth. I get the signature green fruits on the nose, with some Asian pear, and a hint of jasmine blossom. There’s a beautiful mineral streak that highlights this one. It’s a fantastic White Burg for the price.
