2024 Domaine de Fondrèche Blanc AOP Ventoux The 2024 Ventoux Blanc from Domaine de Fondreche, a blend of unknown proportions of Grenache Blanc, Clairette, Roussanne and Rolle, is bright and precise, opening with aromas of citrus blossom, white peach and crushed stones. Medium-bodied and incisive, it’s built around a core of ripe fruit and brisk acids, with a saline, chalky finish that lends tension and length. This is a vibrant, finely crafted white that will drink well young but hold for several years. Wine Advocate 90 2025-10-21
2022 Lava Cap Zinfandel 'Reserve' El Dorado The El Dorado AVA has always been known for high-elevation Zinfandel. The highest peaks are at 2700ft, so the fruit is rich and concentrated but with full flavors that are not saturated. The fruit is ripe in this selection, with bramble raspberry, blackberry, clove, and floral notes on the nose. The flavors on the palate are boysenberry, dark plum, grilled orange zest, chicory, and dusty tannins to finish. Aerate and Drink. Wine Enthusiast 93 2025-10-20
2022 Frey Zinfandel Mendocino Zinfandel has been grown in Mendocino since the 1800s. This wine offers concentrated aromas of sweet dark berries and baking spice that waft from the glass. Sweet dark fruits repeat on the palate of this wine, with cinnamon and subtle salted caramel on the finish. Wine Enthusiast 90 2025-10-17
2022 Pacific Redwood Merlot North Coast Please don’t call it a comeback. Merlot has never left many wine drinkers’ glasses.

Pair with sautéed liver, onions, and seasonal vegetables. Best Buy. Wine Enthusiast 91 2025-10-17
2023 Frey Malbec Mendocino Robust, lavish aromas of Damson plum, dark cherry, and cocoa are whipped with sweet vanilla on the nose of this wine.

2024 Dunham Chardonnay 'Shirley Mays' Pear and pineapple slices sprinkled with sea salt and lime juice are a fine way to make an aromatic introduction. The Shirley Mays then invites you in with its flavors of lemon gelato and mineral water served with ice and a lime wedge. This is lighter-bodied fare, with a slippery mouthfeel and bright acidity. Wine Enthusiast 90 2025-10-17
2024 Candoni Pinot Grigio Organic Delle Venezie The nose presents the savory smokiness of preserved lemon, wild herbs, and crushed seashells. The palate is cohesive, with the density of more preserved citrus and tree fruit, and the refreshing feel of those salty shells and more wild herbs. A bolt of energy pops from the acid. Best Buy.

2022 Dunham Red Blend 'Trutina' Columbia Valley Trutina is a Latin word meaning balance. It is an apt name for this wine, with its fruit, alcohol, invigorating acidity, and velvety tannins all working in elegant harmony. Aromas of dark-chocolate-covered blueberries mingle with touches of balsa and mint. Bing cherries rule on the palate, joined by a smidgen of Concord jelly and wood spices. Trutina is nimble and satisfying. Wine Enthusiast 92 2025-10-17
2020 Domaine Vauroux Chablis 'Vieilles Vignes' Brioche and golden apple tart aromas entice the nose along with hints of baking spice and quince puree. The palate luxuriates in bread dough, dried lemon peel, and honeysuckle while cuddling dried-grass fronds on the finish. This wine has matured gracefully with age in bottle. Drink now–2040.

2023 Foris Pinot Noir Rogue Valley If you’re a fan of lighter-bodied Pinot Noirs that show restraint in alcohol and no such restraint with acidity, this perky number should be on your “buy lots” list. The wine’s aromas are a perfect combination of fruit and savory, with Bing cherries, black-pepper, leather, and pulled pork flavors holding court. With flavors like cranberries, raspberries, Honeycrisp apples and paprika, you will be pleasantly occupied by trying to sort it all out. You get a lot for your money with this crisp wine.
