Crinella 2006 Sauvignon Blanc (Russian River Valley)

Editors' Choice

Price $22

What’s so interesting about this wine is the savory minerality, racy acidity and extreme dryness that make it completely different from 99% of the Sauvignon Blancs in California. It’s not without fruit. You’ll find mouthwatering Meyer lemons, sweet Kaffir limes and spicy figs. Just beautiful, and a real sommelier’s wine. — S.H. (12/15/2008)

Online Exclusive

Price $22

Has dryness and structure, with excellent acidity marking citrus and fig flavors. Spicy finish. There’s a little dip in concentration in the middle palate, but it’s really a wine to watch. — S.H. (7/1/2007)

Crinella 2006 Estate Vineyard Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley)

Price $40

This is a really drinkable Pinot Noir. It’s dry and silky and crisp, and the flavors are enormously rich, suggesting ripe cherries, raspberries and blackberries baked into a pie. Drink now. — S.H. (12/15/2008)

Crinella 2004 Marino Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc (Russian River Valley)

Price $22

Clean, dry and crisp in acidity, this wine has citrus and fig flavors, with an edge of tangy gooseberry. It’s nice and elegant, but finishes a little thin. — S.H. (10/1/2006)
