Ten months in French oak, 30% new, adds another layer to this estate-grown Pinot.

Expert Review - Vintage 2023

Wine Enthusiast · 91 Points: Bright cherry and strawberry aromas lead into an earthy rhubarb element on the nose of this bottling. The palate's candied cherry flavors are lifted by eucalyptus and menthol elements.

Winemaker Description

Pali Wine Co.: Huntington is our Santa Barbara County Pinot Noir, sourced entirely from organically farmed blocks at Pali Vineyard in the Sta. Rita Hills. A blend of seven clones, each harvested, fermented, and aged separately, it’s crafted to showcase bright fruit, savory nuance, and effortless drinkability. Ruby red in the glass, the wine opens with aromas of strawberry, raspberry, and cherry layered with black tea and baking spice. The palate is mouth-filling yet supple, offering flavors of dried strawberry, fresh Bing cherry, mushroom, and graphite. Soft, rounded tannins and a long, polished finish make ‘Huntington’ a versatile Pinot Noir built for both the table and everyday enjoyment.

Producer Notes · Style & Winemaking

Pali Wine Co.: Our entry-level Pinot Noir, and the most generous and fruit-forward of the range. All estate fruit from Pali Vineyard, built to be plush, ripe, and approachable, a Pinot you can open and enjoy tonight. A blend of seven clones fermented separately, then aged in French oak for polish. Soft, round, and easygoing.

Farming, Fermentation & Composition: 100% estate-grown Pinot Noir from Pali Vineyard, organically farmed. A blend of seven Pinot Noir clones, each fermented separately and hand harvested, pressed at dryness before blending. Aged ten months in French oak, 30% new. Made in a riper, rounder style than our other Pinots.

Tasting Notes: Bright ruby-red. Strawberry, raspberry, cherry, black tea, and baking spice on the nose. Dried strawberry, Bing cherry, mushroom, and graphite on the palate, with soft tannins and balanced acidity through a polished finish.

Our Take: This is our most approachable Pinot, the one to reach for if you just want a really tasty glass tonight. It's generous and fruit-forward, all strawberry and cherry, with soft tannins and a little baking spice from some new oak, so it's plush and easy rather than lean. It's all estate fruit off our Sta. Rita Hills vineyard, blended from seven different clones to give it depth. We've made this wine since 2008, it's kind of our signature Pinot. Nothing to overthink here, just open it and enjoy.

Hendry · Unoaked Chardonnay · Napa Valley · 2024

Hendry Unoaked Chardonnay 2024 highlights the purity of the estate's old-vine Chardonnay fruit. Pale straw in color, it brings green and pink apple aromas together with stone fruit, followed by a light-bodied palate of tangy apple and citrus. Freshness and balance carry through a surprisingly long, lemony finish.

The Hendry family ranch sits at the foot of Mt. Veeder in the rolling hills northwest of the town of Napa. Its 114 acres of vines experience substantial marine influence, and Hendry makes its wines exclusively from estate grapes. The family's connection to the ranch began in 1939, when George W. and Margaret Hendry made it their home.

Winemaker Description

Hendry: This unassuming, unadorned wine always highlights the beauty and purity of our old-vine Chardonnay fruit. Pale straw color. Aromas of green and pink apples, stone fruits.

Drink now through at least 2028.

Estate Philosophy

Hendry: We believe in good wine at a fair price. In growing good grapes, and keeping the winemaking simple. We’ve remained true to our roots, doing our best to honor the hard work of George W. and Margaret Hendry, who first made this ranch their home in 1939.

You'll find our family ranch tucked at the foot of Mt. Veeder, in the low, rolling hills just northwest of the town of Napa. It includes 114 acres of vines. We experience substantial marine influence, allowing us to grow many different types of wine grapes. All Hendry wines are made only from our estate grapes, and are crafted to highlight the unique soil and climate of this very special place.

Estate Recognition

Hendry's estate materials highlight inclusion in Wine Spectator's Ultimate Travel Guide to Napa Valley 2026 and San Francisco Chronicle Top Wineries recognition for six consecutive years, 2021–2026.

San Francisco Chronicle · Estate Commentary: This unassuming family-run estate is one of Napa’s best-kept secrets.

Sommelier Kelli White · Napa Valley Then and Now · Estate Commentary: Straightforward, delicious, and priced with an eye toward value, the Hendry wines offer an unpretentious counterpoint to an increasingly precious Napa Valley. The operation remains firmly in family hands, and the already impressive quality seems to improve with each passing year.

Winemaker Notes:  The 2020 Silver Oak Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon has captivating notes of cedar and concentrated red fruit character that dance gracefully on the palate. With its ruby hue and smooth, polished tannins, this wine offers a harmonious blend of depth and nuance. Balanced acidity adds a refined touch to the long finish, with vibrant layers of fresh raspberry, cherry and cola. This wine will continue to improve through 2042 given proper cellaring conditions.

Blend: 95.2% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2.1% Merlot, 1.4% Cabernet Franc, 0.7% Petit Verdot, 0.6% Malbec

Expert Ratings

94 Decanter: Silver Oak's 2020 releases of Napa and Alexander Valley Cabernets are downright impressive. Tasted four years after the fires, in September of 2024 at the Alexander Valley winery, neither wine showed any sign of the hardened tannic structure or overwrought fruit often associated with the vintage. Instead, these wines remain true to Silver Oak’s signature style, with blackcurrant, fig, and plum fruits layered with white pepper, sweet cedar, and coriander spice. Medium-bodied, with sculpted tannins that persist through the lengthy finish, the Alexander Valley Cabernet in particular retains all the hallmarks of a balanced, inviting, and vibrant Silver Oak red.

94 James Suckling: Truly gorgeous, fruity, velvety and enjoyable for a full-bodied cabernet. It is rich in blueberries, cherry cream, black cherries and raspberries on the palate, with very smooth, layered tannins and a soothing mouthfeel.

Gary Farrell Pinot Noir · Russian River Valley · 2023

Fragrant and balanced, this Russian River Valley Pinot Noir brings red cherry, rose petal and baking spice together with a subtle note of cedar. Juicy red fruit, blood orange and savory earth carry the medium-bodied palate, while bright acidity and fine tannins lead to a lingering, spice-accented finish.

The 2023 blend brings together vineyards across the valley, including Rochioli and Bacigalupi in the Middle Reach and Hallberg in cooler, fog-influenced Green Valley. A long, cool growing season allowed extended ripening while preserving freshness. Hand-harvested and sorted fruit, a small whole-cluster portion, cold soak and extended maceration built aromatic depth; nine months in French oak barrels, 35% new, added subtle spice.

Expert reviews · Vintage 2023

Wine Enthusiast, 92 Points — Focused aromas of black cherry, blackberry and cola waft on the nose of this Pinot. The palate brings bright fresh cherry, spice mélange and flowers with orange peel acidity and echoes of cedar, roses and plum through the finish.

Wine Spectator, 92 Points — A bright and friendly version, whose pomegranate and cherry fruit is engaging, with flashes of rose petal and iris skirting about. Offers a fresh, transparent finish.

Vibrant and silky, this Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir opens with cranberry, pomegranate and tart cherry, accented by mineral notes, clove and anise. Red and blue berries unfold across the palate, with brisk acidity and fine tannins carrying the wine into a lingering finish.

The winery's inaugural Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir draws fruit from Gap's Crown, Lancel Creek, Terra de Promissio and Durell. Cooling coastal winds and a long, cool 2023 season helped shape the fruit's concentration and freshness. Hand-harvested grapes were sorted and largely destemmed, with a small whole-cluster portion. After a five-day cold soak, the wine underwent extended maceration and aged ten months in French oak, 35% new.

Expert reviews

Wine Enthusiast, 91 Points · vintage not stated in existing review — Aromas of cranberry, raspberry and pine forest dominate the nose of this Pinot. The palate brings richly structured tannin and flavors of plum, orange peel, anise and black tea with a rich, opulent mouthfeel. This is great Pinot for burgers or ribs on the grill. - Tom R. Capo

Jeb Dunnuck, 91 Points · 2023 vintage — The 2023 Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast pours a bright ruby red color and is lifted and bright on the nose with aromas of blood orange zest, cranberries, cinnamon, and brambly herbs. The palate is medium-bodied, with a floating feel, even tannins, and a gently tapering finish. It’s a savory and elegant wine to drink over the coming 6-7 years.

Wine Spectator, 91 Points · vintage not stated in existing review — Punchy and fresh, with delicious morello cherry and raspberry notes followed by hibiscus and rose petal details that give this lift on the finish.

“Produced at the winery’s ridgeline, at approximately 900 feet. The bottom of the label represents the ridgeline. The vineyard is approximately 10 miles from the Pacific Ocean. High winds have caused the grapes to develop thicker skins, resulting in a pronounced savory character.”

Tasting Notes

The reviews below describe a Pinot Noir balancing cherry and cranberry fruit with tea, herbs, earth and citrus. Acidity and textured tannins give the wine definition, while savory notes add complexity at the table.

Wine Enthusiast, 94 Points — Vibrant aromas of black cherry, cranberry, black plum, chopped herbs, and tangerine zest swirl from the glass on the nose of this wine. The palate hits with gorgeous acidity and a satisfying crunch of tannin, revealing flavors of cran- berry compote, Darjeeling, sandalwood, and pithy orange through the finish.

Jeb Dunnuck, 91 Points — The 2023 Pinot Noir Hallberg Vineyard is a medium red color and starts somewhat muted before revealing notes of mushroomy forest earth, ripe cherries, clove, and toast.

Gary Farrell Rochioli-Allen Vineyard Chardonnay · 2022

Rich yet focused, this Russian River Valley Chardonnay opens with honeysuckle, ripe pear and sliced almond. Stone fruit and a generous texture meet crisp acidity for a finish that keeps its depth in balance with freshness.

The fruit comes from historic blocks near the Russian River, where gravelly soils contribute to the vineyards' character. Most of the blend draws from Rochioli's River Block, planted in 1989, alongside the Mid-40s Block, planted in 1993, and Allen Block 1, planted in 1995. Gary Farrell's relationship with Rochioli began more than four decades ago with a handshake, a partnership reflected in this vineyard-focused bottling.

Expert review · Vintage 2022

Wine Enthusiast, 93 Points — A whisper of flinty reduction dances at the margins along with grilled pineapple, fresh lemon, and Granny Smith apple on the nose of this Chardonnay. The palate features lightning rod acidity framing flavors of nectarine, pithy lemon, candied ginger, and white flowers lingering through a lengthy finish. Tom R. Capo

Gary Farrell Olivet Lane Vineyard Chardonnay · 2023

Expressive and balanced, this Russian River Valley Chardonnay pairs vibrant citrus and delicate stone fruit with a supple, creamy texture. Fresh apricot, tangerine and lemon zest mingle with peach, honeysuckle and a quiet pastry note. Bright citrus brings lift to the palate and keeps the richness in check.

Planted in 1975 to Wente-selection Chardonnay, Olivet Lane Vineyard sits on sloping benchland in the Santa Rosa Plain, between the warmer Westside Road area and cooler Green Valley. Warm days, chilly evenings, coastal breezes and fog help preserve acidity, while well-drained loam and clay soils give this site its concentration and finesse. The long, cool 2023 season allowed fruit time to develop flavor without losing freshness.

Expert review · vintage not specified in existing review text

Wine Enthusiast, 91 Points — The nose of this Chardonnay hits with aromas of tart citrus, green apple, white flowers, and a charge of flint.

Gary Farrell Chardonnay · Russian River Valley · 2023

Gary Farrell's Russian River Valley Chardonnay brings orchard fruit and citrus into balance with refreshing acidity and a gently creamy texture. Baked apple, golden pear, lemon and baking spice lead toward ginger, citrus zest and brioche, with a long, lively finish.

The 2023 blend draws from Rochioli, Allen and Olivet Lane vineyard sites. Rochioli and Allen contribute concentration and structure, while Olivet Lane's Wente-clone Chardonnay adds brightness. A cool, extended growing season supported flavor development while retaining acidity. The hand-sorted, gently pressed fruit was fermented and aged in French oak barrels and puncheons, with 30% new oak; ten months on primary lees brought texture and depth.

Winemaker Notes

This vintage of our most celebrated Merlot continues the story of a vineyard steeped in history and craftsmanship. It begins with the vibrant allure of Bing cherries interwoven with the delicate fragrance of rose petals. As it unfolds, layers of cocoa and slate emerge. On the palate, the richness of plum and fig take center stage; its lushness framed by Three Palms’ signature dusty tannins and earthy minerality resulting from warm days and rocky well-drained soils.

A Sonoma Chardonnay of quiet authority. Myrna opens with bright notes of white peach, toasted hazelnut, and Meyer lemon zest, before settling into a creamy mid-palate threaded with vanilla and fresh oak. The finish is focused and clean — a wine that earns its scores without announcing them.
