  • 2012 - Wine Spectator, Tim Fish: Dry Creek Valley
    Ben Papapietro and Bruce Perry were amateur winemakers before they took a stab at the big leagues with their 1998 release. Today they produce a consistently notable lineup of more than a dozen Pinot Noirs, plus Zinfandel and Chardonnay. The winery and tasting room are located on an old ranch where more than a dozen producers have set up business. Papapietro Perry's tasting room is a cozy space, with a copper-topped bar crafted from old barrel staves.
  • 2011 - Wine Spectator - Named one of the Top 20 Pinot Noir producers in Sonoma County by James Laube with over 40 wines scored 90 or higher from Wine Spectator magazine.
