#8 TOP 100 WINES OF 2025
Offers beautifully rendered notes of hibiscus, rose petal, damson plum and mulberry that stretch out lengthily thanks to the fine-beaded acidity and taut, precise tannins. The sapid finish lets in tea and incense hints amid the glistening fruit. Best from 2026 through 2036.

Wayfarer Estate Wayfarer Vineyard Fort Ross-Seaview Pinot Noir 2023 750ml

Elegant. Expressive. A coastal Pinot of precision and power.
The 2023 Wayfarer Estate Pinot Noir is the flagship wine from the rugged, wind-swept slopes of the Wayfarer Vineyard in the Fort Ross-Seaview AVA. Crafted by winemaker Todd Kohn, this vintage is a masterful blend of ten Pinot Noir clones planted across 21 acres of Goldridge soils. The result is a site-driven wine of remarkable depth, tension, and aromatic complexity - capturing the wild beauty of the Sonoma Coast.
