Roth 2010 Chardonnay (Sonoma Coast)
- Editors' Choice
- $22
Could be a Sauvignon Blanc, with Meyer lemon, green apple and tropical fruit flavors, accented with crisp acidity. That’s no disrespect. It’s a compliment, in this age of clumsy, overoaked Chardonnays. Elegant and food-friendly, it’s brightened with the acidity of a fresh lime.

Roth Vodka
- $30
A full-blown spirits bouquet that emits lacy, garden-like perfumes of citrus rind, ripe grapes, cotton fabric and carnations. The palate entry is tight, integrated, semisweet and pleasingly ripe; by midpalate there’s a rush of acidity that cleanses the palate, leading to a firmly structured finish that’s bittersweet to semisweet, fruity and muscular.

Roth 2000 Heritage Red Wine (Alexander Valley)
- $30
A second label from Lancaster Estate, and a very good one. Starts with evocative aromas of cassis and blackcurrants, smoky oak, vanilla, and a hint of sweet green olive. Round and smooth in the mouth, with pronounced but fine tannins that cover blackberry and herb flavors.

Roth 2009 Merlot (Alexander Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $27
A very nice Merlot, polished and dry. It has a smooth, silky texture, and shows a complex array of cherry, olive, herb, sandalwood and spice flavors. Elevated enough for a white tablecloth restaurant, at a fair price.

Roth 2009 Pinot Noir (Sonoma Coast)
- $27
Some Sonoma Coast Pinots are dark, heavy and dense, and this is one of them. It’s so rich and full-bodied in black cherry, raspberry and currant fruit, it’s almost like a Rhône wine. Defines a certain style, and delicious at that, but not likely to age, so drink now.

Roth 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon (Alexander Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $28
Sweet and ripe in black cherries, currants, mocha and cedar, a rich, soft wine that succeeds in captivating the palate. Earns extra points for the fine acid-tannin structure.

Roth 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon (Alexander Valley)
- $40
A very nice and smooth Cab, with a texture like velvet and an elegant overall feeling. It shows cassis, green olive, smoke and cedar flavors and is bone dry.

Roth 2009 Chardonnay (Sonoma Coast)
- $20
Lots of crunchy acidity in this Chardonnay, and smoky oak too, with buttered toast and pineapple jam flavors. Tastes rich, clean, fine and opulent, in the California style. fine and opulent, in the California style.
