Big, dry and tannic wine, this is a dense and structured wine. Black chocolate and coffee flavors suggest extraction shows strongly in the tough texture. The wine will be filled out as the black frui…
This is a deliciously fruity wine with tropical fruit tones, a light mineral texture and fine, crisp acidity. From vines planted at 1500 feet above the river, it is fresh, cool and ready to drink.
Rich and forward in jammy black cherry, raspberry and spice flavors, this Zinfandel drinks well now. It's a tannic wine, as you'd expect off Howell Mountain, but those tannins are refined and sweet.…

An ambitious wine that explores new blending territory. Shows fine structure, with brisk acidity and smooth tannins framing ripe cherry fruit, bacon and sandalwood flavors. Lacks a certain finesse, b…
Dark skinned berry, exotic spice, French oak and crushed blue flower aromas unfold on this. The firm palate displays dried red cherry, coffee, mint and toasted oak but it doesn't have quite enough fr…
This wine offers very ripe and vivid fruit in the aromas and the flavors, like blackberries and dark plums picked when they're just beginning to shrivel. The texture is broad and the body full, but t…
The alcohol doesn't weigh heavily on this rich wine. The wood aging does, at least for now, giving spice and burnt wood aromas. Underneath there are black fruits that are developing into a rich, perf…
Graceful acidity balances the big flavor and salty oak of this wine, awash in bite-worthy green apple, tart quince and lemon. The body is medium but expertly textured, providing intense length and we…
At the age of nearly six years, this Cabernet Sauvignon-based blend remains deliciously fresh, offering ripe blackberry, cherry, currant, chocolate and oak flavors. It's soft in tannins, which limits…
Made in the modern style, with fairly high alcohol, lots of sweet oak, and massively extracted cherry, berry and mocha flavors. It's smooth in tannins and complex, and is showing its best now and ove…
A good example of how well the Central Coast can make Chardonnays that satisfy even without oak barrel aging. The wine is clean and brisk in acidity, with ripe flavors of limes, kiwis and green melon…
Nussbaumer is a fresh and beautifully intense expression of Gewürztraminer from northern Italy that lavishes on bright aromas of honeysuckle, citrus blossom and jasmine. The wine is almost too perfum…

The maturity of this wine gives it velvetine richness, spice and leather texture. The fruit on this smooth, ripe wine is mellow and offers acidity and red cherries. It's a delight to drink now.
This is a fascinating expression of Pinot Grigio from Rive Alte that opens new windows onto the popular wine. The bouquet is sophisticated and bright with peach, crushed white pepper, exotic fruit an…
This large-production Zin has lots to like, beginning with the smooth, dry tannins and continuing through the classic flavors of black currants, briary forest berries and exotic spices. It contains s…

Available for almost half the price as this estate's Nussbaumer expression of Gewürztraminer (with its bright floral intensity), this base rendition of the same grape opens with candied fruit and hon…
Gigantic, huge, enormously extracted Zinfandel. So strong, it's practically a food group. Offers tiers of raspberries, cherries, blackberries, black currants, raisins, dark chocolate and spices. The…
Shows the earthiness that often marks young Calera Pinot, which makes it less flashy but more elegant and food-friendly than many more expensive wines. The herb-infused cherry, raspberry and cola fla…
Fruit stars in this dry, young Petite Sirah. It explodes with jammy flavors of blackberries, cassis, cherries, licorice and plums, with a generous dusting of cinnamon and cocoa. It's distinguished, w…
