Arrowood 2005 Special Select Late Harvest White Riesling (Alexander Valley)
- Editors' Choice
- $45
This wine is so loaded with glycerine, it actually pours slow from the bottle, like honey. With 17.4 grams of residual sugar, it’s decadently, deliriously sweet, but sugar is not its only charm. There’s a fabulous flood of apricots, pineapples, peaches and limes, concentrated to their essence and geléed, enriched with pure vanilla and clover honey and dusted with…

Arrowood 2009 Saralee’s Vineyard Viognier (Russian River Valley)
- Editors' Choice
- Online Exclusive
- $30
A brilliant, completely satisfying Viognier that shows its sunny California terroir in the ripe lemon, peach and mango flavors. It finishes dry, with a steely minerality, like stones and cold metal. Just gorgeous, one of the finest California Viogniers ever.

Arrowood 2005 Reserve Speciale Chardonnay (Sonoma County)
- Editors' Choice
- $35
Rich and satisfying, this opulent Chardonnay dazzles with sheer deliciousness. Master winemaker Richard Arrowood has pulled out all the stops on this Burgundian-style wine. The flavors, of pineapple custard, lemon meringue, green apple butter, crème brûlée and gingersnap cookie, are balanced by perfect acidity. This is by far Arrowood’s greatest Chardonnay in…

Arrowood 2008 Special Select Late Harvest Saralee's Vineyards 375 ml White Riesling (Russian River Valley)
- Editors' Choice
- $35
A great success for this bottling. With extraordinarily high residual sugar, the wine is very sweet in wild honey, infused with the essence of oranges and apricots, folded into rich, buttery custard, and sprinkled with vanilla sugar and cinnamon. It's all balanced with a squirt of lime acid. If that sounds good, it is. Only 95 cases were produced, but finding this…

Arrowood 2008 Reserve Speciale Cabernet Sauvignon (Sonoma County)
- Online Exclusive
- $90
One taste is all it takes to fall in love with this Cabernet. Made from Sonoma Valley and Knights Valley fruit, it’s wonderfully sweet and deep in blackberry and cherry-jam flavors, with near-perfect tannins and a judicious touch of oak. Great for drinking now and over the next six years.

Arrowood 2001 Special Select Late Harvest White Riesling Hoot Owl Creek Vineyards (Alexander Valley)
- $40
The real deal, an unctously sweet wine that tastes like it has some botrytis as well. The color of old gold, and oozing aromas of ripe apricots, nectarines, orange, tapioca and vanilla custard. Turns thick and glyceriney in the mouth, with fantastic density of flavor. It’s sweet but never cloying, thanks to the refreshing acids.

Arrowood 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon (Sonoma County)
- Editors' Choice
- $45
Master vintner Dick Arrowood has crafted a sensational wine from a sensational vintage. A blend from throughout the county, it shows his discernment in the overall balance, harmony and charm. Black currants, chocolate, green olives, sweet sage and vanilla-scented oak flavors come together in a lush, smooth, intricately structured wine that will probably hold for 10…

Arrowood 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon (Sonoma County)
- $50
They kept this Cab back all this time, presumably at some cost to the company, but consumers are the beneficiaries. Everything has mellowed. The wine, with 1% Petit Verdot, is like hands of cassis, dark chocolate and oak massaging the palate. The grapes were sourced from top vineyards in the Dry Creek, Sonoma and Alexander Valleys. Drink now–2010.
