Gauthier 2011 Los Chamizal Vineyard Zinfandel (Sonoma Valley)
- $42
Expensive, but aims for a Zinfandel touchdown and largely succeeds. With firm tannins and acids, it has explosive flavors of wild forest berries, currants, spices and oak that are complex enough to warrant a second, maybe even a third glass.

Gauthier 2010 Rockin H Ranch Vineyards Pinot Noir (Sonoma Coast)
- $35
Lots to like in this dry, smoothly tannic Pinot. It has complex berry, cola, pomegranate and spice flavors, and feels elegant and serious. Should offer good drinking over the next six years.

Gauthier 2011 Hillside Vineyard Riesling (Santa Lucia Highlands)
- $17
Indisputably Riesling, with its strong aroma of petrol. In the mouth, that oily taste persists, alongside apples, white peaches and honeysuckle, brightened with crisp acidity. It’s a honey-sweet wine, which puts it into the dessert category.

Gauthier 2011 Block House Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc (Yountville)
- $18
Lots of mouthwatering acidity on this clean, pure Sauvignon Blanc. It has pleasant tropical fruit and peach flavors, as well as a touch of gooseberry and bell pepper, the result of a cool vintage in a part of Napa Valley subject to the maritime influence. It’s a good wine, solid and balanced for drinking now

Gauthier 2009 Rockin H Ranch Vineyards Pinot Noir (Sonoma Coast)
- Online Exclusive
- $30
Big and full-bodied for a Pinot Noir, almost like a Grenache in its rich cherry and red currant power. It’s a good wine, delicious in its own way, but an outlier for a Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir.

Gauthier 2011 Richmond Vineyard Pinot Noir (Carneros)
- $35
This is an eccentric Pinot Noir that’s dry, strong and tart in acidity, with moderate alcohol and shows an interesting petrol, resinous note. The silky frames sour cherry candy, spice and sandalwood flavors. Drink now.
