Dan beat me to it. Mount Eden is source to world-class Cabernet, Chardonnay, and Pinot Noir.

van der Kamp vineyard, but I am biased.

I would vote for Monte Rosso, Moon Mountain AVA Sonoma County. World class Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel, Semillon and other varieties. Unique soil make up and volcanic influence allow wines to retain high acidity.
A treasured vineyard for sure.

My second choice.
I can pick Eisele out blind and that’s rare.

You never forget your first love. For me that would be Lytton Springs.

That’s why I went with Rochioli West Block. I’ve double-blinded it a couple of times, and I waited years to get on that damn mailer.

From a Pinot lover:
Sanford & Benedict, back in the day.
Sandalwood and history …
Hirsch, now.
Pine needles and orange peel.
Kronos.
