Just based on what I’m drinking, I’ll say Navarro. I think the 2012 Anderson Valley Pinot is the best value PN I’ve ever had, and their Rosé of Grenache is my favorite Rosé. My daughter digs the Gewurztraminer juice too.
Myriad/Quivet/Ancillary - From outrageous goodness to outrageous customer service and all around great guy status you can’t beat Mike Smith wines. Even with the spin he gets I think it is too little.
Eric Kent, fo’ shizz. One of the most consistently good Cali producers, IMO.

Bruno Clair has been mentioned - Wines are excellent, but prices are brutal.
Serafin - Gorgeous wines that somehow have become dismissed as “too oaky” or “extracted,” so no Burg fan on Berserkers will cop to liking them. Except Alan, who has serious street cred.
Navarro - the price they pay for tasting room/mailing list/restaurant only is that the wines aren’t widely exposed.
Calera, Daniel Rion and Spottswoode genuinely surprise me in their categories.
For me -
Burgundy - Fichet. Glantenay. T. Morey and the other side of the family V & S Morey. Voillot. Maybe Regis Fprey outside of Gaudichots discussions. Langoreau. T. Liger-Belair.
Evesham Wood in Oregon.
School House in Napa. Salvestrin and Seavey. Paradigm.
