Charred oak characterizes the nose of this wine from an estate just 12 miles from the Pacific Ocean, but chopped dill takes the place of overpowering butter aromas. The herbs show up on the palate, h…
Crème brûlée informs the creamy backbone of an otherwise high-toned Chardonnay, the acidity brisk on the palate without veering over the edge. Layers of apple and pear give additional lift in between…
This selection is from the winery's first planted vineyard, now nearing 20 years of age. It's all Pommard clone, offering a burst of pretty cherry fruit backed with stiff tannins and a streak of iron…
Minty, this restrained Syrah is from a sought-after vineyard, a pioneer in Sonoma County Rhône-style wines. Here, the producer keeps things interesting in swathes of white pepper, mint and cranberry,…
The nose is still emerging on this bottling by the historic estate, but nectarine, white and yellow flowers and a touch of cantaloupe are starting to peek out. The flavors dance between acidity and r…
Pretty scents of rosewater, raspberries and cherries introduce this light and pleasing wine. It carries some of the charm of a good strawberry soda, with forward fruit and a delicate frame. That said…
Delicate notes of bramble and char accent sultry black-cherry flavor in this bold, elegantly structured wine. Fresh cranberry acidity dazzles the midpalate, leading a long, mineral-tinged finish.
Another wildly complicated Pinot Noir from Bradley Brown, this smells of crimini mushrooms, smoldering chemise and sweet cherry tomato reduction sauce, with a pinch of cinnamon. It's lush with soft r…

With a rich, caramel-teased nose, this is a full-bodied and voluptuous Chardonnay that evolves in the glass to display much greater sophistication and concentration. It finishes light and lemony, rou…
Forward and nicely rounded off, this brings spicy cherry and cranberry fruit front and center. There are well-integrated streaks of herb, a dash of stem, and a dusting of white pepper. Give it an hou…
Longboard shies away from overt fruit in favor of earthier tobacco flavors in this dry, complex and tannic young Pinot Noir. That doesn't mean you won't find plenty of raspberries and cherries. The w…
This Bordeaux-blend red is as structured as you would expect. It has fine tannins, blackberry fruits and a firm, dry core. With its dense character and powerful acidity it needs to age still. Drink f…
From the home vineyards of the Saget family, this a warm and generous wine. While endowed with many green Sauvignon Blanc characteristics, the tropical fruit style makes it feel rich. As it ages, it…
Rich and delicious, this single-vineyard Chardonnay features ripe flavors of pears, mangoes, oranges, pineapples and new oak. The acidity is spot on. Flashy and opulent, it's an impressive Chardonnay…

Some Pinot Noirs are soft and lush. Others are lean and tart. This Pinot is a little of both. A blend of the winery's three single-vineyard 2011s, it shows the qualities of them all. The result is dr…
