Esser 2008 Pinot Noir
- Online Exclusive
- $16
Pinots at this price are usually pretty awful, but this bucks the trend and offers real value. It shows the silky texture, dryness and rich cherry-cola flavors you want in the variety, with an added touch of barrel age. The result is welcome. Production was 4,000 cases.

Esser 2009 Pinot Noir (Monterey)
- Online Exclusive
- $12
Too sharp, with a bite of acidity and green tannins, but otherwise a decent introductory wine for learning about Pinot Noir’s charms. It’s dry and silky, with red cherry flavors.

Esser 2009 Merlot (Monterey)
- Online Exclusive
- $12
Okay for everyday use, like at a big party where nobody cares what’s in the glass as long as it’s red. It’s a dry, full-bodied Merlot, with some decent fruit.

Esser 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon
- Online Exclusive
- $10
Too heavy and soft, like a melted mocha-raspberry sundae. Lacks structure, which makes it taste too sweet.

Esser 2009 Chardonnay (Monterey)
- Online Exclusive

Chardonnay in name only. It’s a simple, watery wine, with sweet apricot, tangerine and faux oak flavors.
