2024	Dunham	Sauvignon Blanc	Done in a combination of 85% stainless steel and 15% neutral French oak, this Sauvignon Blanc manages to match zippy acidity with a bit of midpalate weight. The wine’s apricot and guava aromas are flanked by wisps of sage and steamed white rice. The icy tonic water garnished with lemon and lime flavor is quite refreshing, with a bitter almond note arriving on the finish.	Wine Enthusiast	91		2025-10-17
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. This one has rich aromas of baked plum, black raspberry, chocolate, and cardamom. The palate has supple flavors of blackberry, star anise, and silky, grippy tannins on the finish. Pair with sautéed liver, onions, and seasonal vegetables. Best Buy.	Wine Enthusiast	91		2025-10-17
2024	Ocean Road	Sauvignon Blanc	Lemon and orange with fennel and summer herb notes open this wine, leading to a gently slippery palate that is, overall, a light and fruity, if slightly synthetic drop. Best Buy.	Wine Enthusiast	Best Buy		2025-10-17
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.

2023	Dunham	Three Legged Red	I have always had a soft spot for the story of Port, the stray mutt rescued from a dog attack. Port is the inspiration for this red, which leads with aromas of black cherries, cigar box, phlox, and wet stones that may have a bit of moss on them. The wine feels elegant and smooth in the mouth, with cranberry-raspberry flavors jitterbugging with jangly acidity and silky tannins. Best Buy.	Wine Enthusiast	91		2025-10-17
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.

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.

2020	Bhilar	Phincas Rioja Blanca 'Thousand Mils'	The amber colored 2020 Phincas Thousand Mils was produced with a blend of 65% Viura, 25% Garnacha Blanca, Malvasia Riojana, Palomino and Cayetana, plus 10% experimental varieties. The grapes were foot trodden to start the fermentation, which finished in barrel. It matured in 500-liter French oak barrels for three years. It has the classical skin-contact profile, with yellow fruit, pollen and quince and a slightly tannic palate with a bitter twist in the finish, dense and pungent. 2,388 bottles were filled in October 2023.

2021	Morgan	Cotes du Crows Monterey	This Grenache-based blend also includes 27% Syrah, 6% Mourvèdre, and 4% Tempranillo. It is incredibly bright, fresh, and inviting on the nose, featuring aromas of strawberry, cherry, hibiscus, and white pepper. The palate is vibrant and refreshing, with cherry-candy flavors and a firm texture. Editors’ Choice	Wine Enthusiast	94		2025-10-16
