Top Winery

California Rhône expressions rated by Wine Advocate.

Top Winery produces wines from California that have drawn the attention of Wine Advocate. The winery's portfolio centers on two distinctive expressions: Inertia GSM, a Rhône-style blend of Shiraz, Mourvèdre, and Grenache, and Poise, a white wine built on Roussanne. Both wines reflect the winery's engagement with varietals and blending traditions rooted in the southern Rhône. The GSM format—pairing the dark fruit and spice of Syrah with the earthiness of Mourvèdre and the bright red-fruit character of Grenache—yields a wine of complexity and structure. Poise, made from the white Rhône variety Roussanne, offers the textural richness and subtle stone-fruit character the grape is known to express. Together, these wines signal a winery oriented toward classic Mediterranean blending in a California context.
