Bellingham 2011 The Bernard Series Limited Release Old Vine Chenin Blanc (Coastal Region)
- $50
Made with grapes sourced from 40-year-old bush vines, this Chenin boasts savory herb notes alongside the creamy peach, fig and sweet lime fruit. The medium-weight palate shows well-integrated oak notes that complement the earthy, herbal character. The texture is somewhat nervy now, but this should really start to shine from 2014 on.

Bellingham 2004 Our Founder's Shiraz (Coastal Region)
- $15
This wine starts with an extremely pretty nose—heady, dense and spicy aromas mingle with fruit in a poised dance. On the palate, the touch is soft, with smoke and berry unfolding in the mouth nicely. There’s a touch of angularity to the wine—it’s not terribly complex—but it’s very approachable.
