Hearst Ranch 2009 Three Sisters Cuvée White (Paso Robles)
- Editors' Choice
- $18
A wine for those who want something drier and crisper than the typically overoaked white Rhône blend. It’s smooth, silky and earthy, with just a touch of orange and sandalwood. A very nice, elegant and versatile wine.

Hearst Ranch 2007 Lone Tree Cabernet Franc (Paso Robles)
- $35
Dry, smooth and tannic, this is a polished wine for drinking now with a salted and peppered steak. Its cherry, tobacco and sandalwood flavors will complement the meat’s grilled sweetness.

Hearst Ranch 2009 Bunkhouse Cabernet Sauvignon (Paso Robles)
- $30
Give this pretty Cabernet a brief decant to let it breathe so the tannins can soften a little. It’s too soft to age, but offers nice flavors now of blackberries, cherries, mocha, sage, cedar and spices.

Hearst Ranch 2010 Chileano Tempranillo (Paso Robles)
- Online Exclusive
- $30
Light-bodied and silky, like a Pinot Noir, with deep flavors of herbs, cherries, currants, anise and sandalwood. A few drops of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Petite Sirah give it needed depth. Drink up.

Hearst Ranch 2009 Glacier Ridge Chardonnay (Santa Lucia Highlands)
- Online Exclusive
- $25
This is a useful if not particularly complex Chardonnay. It shows good coastal acidity and fine, long hangtime tropical fruit flavors, accented with oak. Will appeal to those who like a slightly sweet Chard made in the popular style.

Hearst Ranch 2007 The Point Red (Paso Robles)
- $70
This offbeat blend of Bordeaux varieties with Petite Sirah and Syrah is made in a rustic Paso style. It’s soft in the mouth, with dusty tannins and high alcohol that gives the cherries and blackberries a Porty, liqueur-type heat.

Hearst Ranch 2010 Bunkhouse Cabernet Sauvignon (Paso Robles)
- $30
Here’s a good, easy drinking Cabernet for drinking now with Cab-friendly fare, like a barbecued flank steak. It’s dry and full-bodied, with ripe blackberry, currant and spice flavors.
