Godwin 2004 Floral Clone Chardonnay (Russian River Valley)
- $28
If you’re a fan of big, oaky Chards, you’ll like this one. It’s rich and unctuous in ripe tropical fruit custard flavors, with the buttered toast, crème brûlée and smoky char that comes from new French barrels. But it has a perky acidity that lends it an appley, minerally note.

Godwin 2001 Merlot (Alexander Valley)
- $35
Released at four-plus years, unusual for a Merlot, but the tannins are beginning to melt, although they’re still formidable. The underlying flavors are of cherries and oak, and the wine is dry and balanced. This wine is complex enough to drink with your best fare.

Godwin 2005 Floral Clone Chardonnay (Russian River Valley)
- $28
Enormous in jammy apricot, peach, pineapple, Asian spice and sweet charred oak vanillins, this Burgundy-inspired Chard is a little sweet. But it provides enough acidity for balanced structure.

Godwin 2000 Moss Oak Vineyard Merlot (Alexander Valley)
- $35
A Merlot-based blend that’s extraordinarily soft and charming. It has lush flavors of chocolate, blackberry pie, coffee and spicy oak, and smooth, gentle tannins. As sweetly fruity as it is, it could use more structure.

Godwin 2003 Merlot (Sonoma Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $35
At the age of five years-plus, this Merlot still has the fresh jamminess of a young wine. It’s soft and silky, with pie-filling cherry, black raspberry, cola and spice flavors that are a little sweet. Drink now.

Godwin 2004 Merlot (Sonoma Valley)
- $35
So ultraripe and fruity in blackberry and cherry jam, it’s almost sweet, an impression aided by caramelized oak. Beyond the flavor, the wine is fairly simple and direct.

Godwin 1999 Moss Oak Vineyard Merlot (Alexander Valley)
- $35
This Cabernet blend serves ripe plum and blackberry flavors up front, with a hint of subtle herb essence. The tannins are a bit dry, however, and the finish is on the bright side.
