When you’re Jayson Woodbridge, you always have to keep it interesting. Especially when you already own every accolade under the sun.
His smashing success with his brand, Hundred Acre (40+ perfect 100-point scores and counting), propelled him to worldwide stardom. Then, he followed that up with a successful spinoff for a slightly more affordable look with ‘Fortunate Son.’
But not surprisingly, the man who has accomplished so much already in Cabernet Sauvignon looks to ‘earn his chops’ with the ultimate winemaker’s grape: Pinot Noir.
Of course, Hundred Acre is already firmly established as a cult brand—the crazy long waitlist, the wine prices! Life is good for Woodbridge.
But with his ‘Summer Dreams’ project, he sets out to compete with the likes of ‘Sea Smoke,’ Marcassin, and Arnot Roberts for the ultimate Sonoma Coast Pinot cult status and show that his skills have no bounds.
Utilizing micro-vineyard blocks, the ‘Stargazing’ Pinot is Woodbridge’s lone ‘affordable’ Pinot in the deep waters of Sonoma Coast collectibles. Call it his effort to make at least one wine that can be ‘had’ by at least some folks outside of the ‘anything Jayson Woodbridge’ allocation list.

95 Points, Jeb Dunnuck
Leading off the Pinot Noirs, the 2021 Pinot Noir Stargazing has bright cherry and darker raspberry notes supported by classy oak, peppery herbs, and spicy nuances. It’s medium-bodied, fresh, focused, has fine tannins, and a great finish. It picks up some complex sassafras and floral notes with time in the glass. There’s so much to love here.
95 Points, Lisa Perotti-Brown
The 2021 Stargazing Pinot Noir is medium ruby-purble in color. The nose opens with evocative notes of cranberry sauce, redcurrant jelly, and stewed rhubarb followed by nuances of lavendar and underbrush. The full-bodied palate is electric with energy, delivering bursts of red berries, earthy accents, and floral notes framed by firm, fine-grained tannins and a racy backbone, finishing long and tingly.

90 Points, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
Xavier Vignon’s brand spanking new CDR 100% is a thing of beauty. It’s already got a blessing from Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate who described this wine as, “Full-bodied, concentrated and supple”. This is a gorgeous and intricate blend that features all of the Southern Rhone appellations. This year, the blend was 40% Grenache, 25% Mourvedre, 15% Syrah, 7% Cinsault, 7% Marselan, 6% Terret Noir. Nobody can do it like the mad scientist, Xavier Vignon.

Domaine Jaume Vinsobres Altitude 420 is an old-vine Grenache-Syrah blend from vineyards planted in Les Collines at some of the highest points in the Rhône. The Jaumes have farmed these dizzying elevations at their estate in Vinsobres for 100+ years. The 2020 is one of his best yet, pristine and fresh, a bowl full of berried-up fruit yet with the tension and length that belies its humble price. Incredible bang for the buck, tailor-made for anyone’s house red, and a slam dunk for any kind of meat on the bone.
At J Vineyards, Nicole is nothing short of a magician, making 30 different skus or more each vintage between her Pinots, Chardonnays, and Sparkling wines. For the vineyard’s flagship Russian River Valley Pinot Noir, up to 100 individual small lots are combined to make this great wine. Somehow, the blend is effortless–a quintessential RRV Pinot that has those soaring aromatics, bright red fruits, clove, and nutmeg spice with perfect balance.
The newly released Fiancetto Howell Mt. Cabernet is a dream – a gorgeous, elegant dark-fruited Cabernet Sauvignon that is it picks up time in the glass, unfurls its full signature of cedar laced cassis nose and mid palate of chocolate-covered cherries and savory spices. Only four palates of this (224 cases) were made off a gorgeous, sprawling high elevation spot 1500 feet above sea level. It’s full and plush and finishes fresh and oh so long. The price is crazy for Howell Mountain Cabernet but that’s what Ry Richards and Fiancetto is all about.
