From Napa’s famed Inglenook vineyards in Rutherford and a truly great Napa Cabernet vintage, this is drinking beautifully now and still has plenty of potential to develop in cellar. It's 95% Cabernet Sauvignon plus Cabernet... Read More
The Model M tractor was the first tractor purchased by the Dusi family in the early 1900s, and now that they've moved from selling fruit to folks like Turley to making their own wine, this red blend is now the backbone of... Read More
A review of a previous vintage started off, “This is a boomer of a wine,” and that gets right to the heart of Petit Sirah in general. This is a wine that “booms” with intense blackberry, boysenberry and... Read More
100% Cabernet Sauvignon from sites across Paso Robles with 10 months in French oak delivers a wine of excellent plushness and flesh. Dark cherry and blackcurrant fruit get a nice pop from the juicy texture and dollops of dark... Read More

As Vinous says in their 92 point review, Jonata's entry-level Todos remains the hidden jewel in this range, as it offers tons of character at a very accessible price. Blending 45% Syrah, 21% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Petit Verdot,... Read More
A chance to sample the work of one of the world's great Chardonnay estates (getting harder and harder to do without getting on the mailing list or paying restaurant prices). Like all Kistler Chardonnays, this is at once creamy... Read More
Under $30 Napa Cabernet has gotten to be a tough place to find good wine, which is why we're glad Master Sommelier Fran Kysela was able to pull this one together! Rich, concentrated, aromas of red and black currant, black... Read More
Another great release of this, our all-time best-selling premium California Chardonnay. As always, it blends fruit from across the Sonoma Coast AVA including Carneros, the southern Russian River and cooler sites to the west. Serves... Read More

Really well done California Chardonnay at a heck of a bargain price. The bone dry 2022 vintage gives this Monterrey Chardonnay unusual concentration and time in light-toast French oak accentuates the creamy mouthfeel and adds... Read More
Ripe fruit, around 40% whole clusters, and careful use of oak give a wine that almost feels better on the palate than it tastes - and it tastes GREAT! This is a terrific value.
Morgan was a pioneer in all stainless steel California Chardonnay and they still do one of the most delicious versions. Santa Lucia Highlands fruit gives plenty of ripe fruit – think pear, apple and papaya – that still... Read More
The Omen strategy is to go to overlooked California regions and then find hidden-gem vineyards full of terrific fruit at a great price. Here we’re in the Fair Play AVA of the Sierra Foothills where California’s interior... Read More
Jayson started in 1993, as winemakers Helen Turley, Bob Levy and Randy Dunn were tasting with winery founder Jayson Pahlmeyer and wondering what to do with some extra barrels of red that didn't quite fit in the Pahlmeyer blend.... Read More
An old-school label and old hand at Zinfandel (former Ridge asst. winemaker) and very old-school blend of 81% Zinfandel, 9% Petite Sirah, 7% Carignane and 3% Grenache from hot and sunny Dry Creek Valley all give away the story... Read More
One of America's most popular premium Chardonnays is, as usual, a perfect blend of satisfying richness and food-friendly verve. It's a blend of fruit from cool Carneros and warmer St Helena fermented and aged in steel... Read More

Lower ABV Presqu'ile's style runs to the more elegant and pure side of California Pinot although hardly lacking in texture and richness of fruit. Dark red raspberry and a touch of wild strawberry mingle nicely with earthy... Read More
This wine is stupid good. The blend of ripeness, finesse, purity and flavor intensity would be expected in a great $50 Pinot Noir. For less than half that, the value here is nuts. The 94 point rave from WE for the 2020 applies:... Read More
