Chardonnay 'Overlook' Sonoma County |
A traditional, toasty, buttery expression gives this full-bodied wine drinker plenty to appreciate as hints of woodsmoke, vanilla, ginger and Bartlett pears flood the palate. Pair this white with roast chicken, poached salmon or pork tenderloin. |

Cotes du Crows' Monterey |
This is a smashing deal every vintage, and this year’s blend of 58% Grenache, 35% Syrah, 4% Mourvèdre and 3% Tempranillo doesn’t disappoint. Fresh but savory aromas of roasted red fruit and baking spice drop into a tightly wound palate of snappy red currant and light pepper that rides a zippy acidity through the finish. Editors’ Choice. |

In between, look for flavors of blackberry fruit jellies, thyme and dark chocolate. Editors’ Choice. |
