Corvalle 2009 Baker Vineyard Syrah (Atlas Peak)
- Online Exclusive
- $38
A first-rate Syrah, exhibiting all the desirable aspects of the variety. It’s dry, full-bodied and tannic, with blackberry, pie spice, grilled bacon and sandalwood flavors, and enough black pepper to fill a shaker. Drink now–2015.

Corvalle 2010 Weka Ranch Vineyard Chardonnay (Oak Knoll)
- Online Exclusive
- $28
Quite an interesting Chardonnay, in an era when so many are too sweet and extracted. There’s plenty of orange and apricot fruit flavor, but also a brilliant streak of minerality, like a lick of cold steel, and the overall taste is dry. Really easy to like, with lots of complexity to warrant repeated sipping.

Corvalle 2010 Rutherford Runway Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc (Rutherford)
- Online Exclusive
- $28
There’s a grassiness to this Sauvignon Blanc that suggests the cool vintage that yielded it. At the same time, the lemon and lime flavors make it rich. With no oak, the fruit stars, brightened with crisp, clean acidity. The finish is a little too sweet, which detracts from the score.
