Furthermore 2009 Gap’s Crown Vineyard Pinot Noir (Sonoma Coast)
- Online Exclusive
- $50
Showing lovely silkiness, dryness and transparency, this is a Pinot to drink now or age for a while. The flavors are rich but elusive, suggesting wild summer raspberries, cola, pine needles and sautéed mushrooms splashed with balsamic, with the sweet smokiness of oak barrel aging. It’s delicate and powerful, but only 47 cases were produced.

Furthermore 2007 La Encantada Vineyard Pinot Noir (Sta. Rita Hills)
- $40
A beautiful Pinot Noir, lush and immediately likeable, as Pinots from this fine vineyard tend to be. Shows forward flavors of cherries, red currants, rhubarbs, cola, anise, tangerine zest and smoky sandalwood, wrapped into very fine tannins and balanced with crisp acidity. Such is the balance that this wine should develop bottle complexity over the next six years.

Furthermore 2009 Rosella’s Vineyard Pinot Noir (Santa Lucia Highlands)
- Online Exclusive
- $50
A fine evocation of this esteemed vineyard, this shows the typical power and extracted fruit in the form of pure raspberry and cherry essence. It’s all packed into a firm texture of acids, tannins and stony minerality. Upscale and elegant, it’s fine now, and should develop bottle complexities over the next 6–8 years.

Furthermore 2009 La Encantada Vineyard Pinot Noir (Sta. Rita Hills)
- Online Exclusive
- $40
This is Furthermore’s fruitiest, most accessible ’09 Pinot Noir. If you love fruit, you’ll savor the endless flavors of raspberries, cherries and persimmons that are brightened with a squeeze of zesty, lime-like acidity and enriched with the smoky creaminess of oak.

Furthermore 2009 Amber Ridge Vineyard Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $40
Dry and exceptionally rich, this has a fleshiness that suggests it could use some time in the cellar. It’s strongly ripe in wild raspberries and cherries, with a spicy, minty pine note that’s attractive. Mouthwatering acidity suggests this can use 4–6 years of aging, but it can also be consumed now.

Furthermore 2007 Bohemian Vineyard Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley)
- $40
Shows lots of smoky oak in its youth, with a buttery, caramel corn sweetness dominating the cherries, currants and cola. That imbalance will probably fade away with a few years, and allow the wine to achieve proper balance. 2010–2012.

Furthermore 2007 Amber Ridge Vineyard Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley)
- $40
Tasted in mid-summer, this Pinot was a little awkward, with the different parts competing. Smoky oak over here, sweetly ripe cherries and currants over there, and crisp acidity in the middle. Seems like a fine wine that just needs some time. Drink 2010 and beyond.

Furthermore 2008 Amber Ridge Vineyard Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley)
- $40
Rich cola, pomegranate, rhubarb, cherry, currant, tomato and flashy oak flavors in this dry Pinot Noir, and it has a nice, silky texture. Feels a bit heavy and one-dimensional, though, and seems to be showing its best, so drink now.
