Baxter 2007 Run Dog Vineyard Pinot Noir (Anderson Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $45
An exotic Pinot of a type usually limited to Anderson Valley. It’s marked as much by gamy, mushroom and forest floor notes as by raspberries, cherries and red currants, with notes of licorice and pepper. Drily crisp and elegantly constructed, this complex young wine should develop for 4–6 years.

Baxter 2007 Toulouse Vineyard Pinot Noir (Anderson Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $45
A very rich Pinot Noir, filled with delicious cherry, raspberry, cedar and spice flavors, as well as an umami bacon smokiness. Balanced with crisp acidity and very fine tannins. Beautiful now and through 2013.

Baxter 2009 Oppenlander Vineyard Pinot Noir (Mendocino)
- $45
Structured and fully developed, this showcases the strong 2009 vintage, the Oppenlander Vineyard and the brilliance that is Baxter. Marked by bright black-cherry fruit and a heady perfume of rose, this carries itself with elegance and a light touch. This is Pinot Noir purposely made to pair with food.

Baxter 2007 Oppenlander Vineyard Pinot Noir (Mendocino)
- Cellar Selection

- $60
A fresh, vibrant but tight young Pinot Noir. It’s rich in wild raspberry, cherry and cola flavors, enhanced with spicy oak, and firm in acidity and tannins. Should be cellared for a good 3–5 years.

Baxter 2006 Caballo Blanco Vineyard Carignan (Mendocino)
- Online Exclusive
- $32
With its rose-petaled, dark-red hue, this old-vine Carignan is not for the faint of heart, but delivers to anyone in search of the unusual, with intense tannins and rich red fruit nicely topped with impressive layers of acidity, making it a good wine choice with a range of spicy, multilayered foods. This wine’s got some serious bite, especially on the finish, and…

Baxter 2004 Toulouse Vineyard Pinot Noir (Anderson Valley)
- $45
The grapes are clones 777 and 115, and the wine shows those ultrapure, intense Dijon flavors of cherries, raspberries, cola, cinnamon and vanilla. With no new oak, the fruit really stars in this silky, delicious wine.

Baxter 2009 Langley Vineyard Pinot Noir (Anderson Valley)
- $45
With tangy acidity and complex flavors, this is easily the best of Baxter’s three 2009 releases. The raspberry and cherry flavors vie with an earthier note of mushroom, and there’s a savory edge of balsam and cola. The oak is evident, but has been adroitly applied. Dry and silky, this is capable of aging for several years in a cellar.

Baxter 2004 Oppenlander Vineyard Pinot Noir (Mendocino)
- $45
Northwest of the Anderson Valley, from an area that may someday be known as Mendocino Coast, comes this slightly rustic Pinot. The berry-cherry fruit has edges of tobacco, dill, tea, hay and spice, and the finish is fairly tannic.
