Carlotta 2008 Alder Springs Vineyard Marsanne (Mendocino)
- Online Exclusive
- $32
Quite dark in color, with a weird gold-orange hue, but tastes clean and zesty. French oak barrel aging gives a vanilla, buttered-toast edge to the apricot, papaya, orange and honeysuckle flavors. Ready now as an exotic alternative to a barrel-fermented Chardonnay.

Carlotta 2008 Aran & David's Red
- Online Exclusive
- $20
This is a firmly tannic, full-bodied wine whose dark berry and stone fruit flavors are sprinkled with lots of black pepper. A blend of Sangiovese, Syrah and Petite Sirah, it’s completely dry, with complex blackberry, black currant and leather flavors, and a hint of superripe raisins. Drink now.

Carlotta 2009 AD Red
- Online Exclusive
- $28
This is a spaghetti with tomato sauce wine, high in acidity, with very ripe, sweet cherry and cured tobacco flavors and firm tannins. It’s kind of like an old fashioned Chianti.

Carlotta 2010 Charlene White
- Online Exclusive
- $40
The blend is Viognier, Roussanne and Marsanne, with a few other minor varieties. The orange and apricot flavors are strong and fruity-sweet. It’s a country-style wine to drink with rustic poultry and pork dishes.

Carlotta 2009 Betty Syrah
- $50
Here’s a sweetly fruity, simple young Syrah, brimming with berry and cherry jam, sweet oak and spice flavors. It’s soft and smooth in the mouth.

Carlotta 2009 Eagle Point Ranch Rosé (Mendocino)
- Online Exclusive
- $20
This Grenache blush wine is nicely dry and crisp in acidity, and intensely clean. However, it’s just too thin in raspberry flavor, especially at this price.
