These new and upcoming releases from Wayfarer confirm all the promise I sensed last year. Simply put, the wines are stunning. Cleo Pahlmeyer and winemaker Bibiana Gonzalez-Rave are doing magnificent work here. Wayfarer makes five different Pinots; the Wayfarer is meant to be a representation of the entire property, while the other bottlings explore the unique attributes of a number of single parcels on the estate. At the moment, there is only one Chardonnay, but I would not be surprised to see more bottlings here as well, as this location on the Sonoma Coast can produce dazzling whites. Stylistically, the wines are racy and textured, but not as ripe as the Pahlmeyer Russian River wines. The Pinots are typically made with some percentage of whole clusters. These are some of the most striking wines being made on the Sonoma Coast and California today.
