Holman Ranch 2010 Estate Chardonnay (Carmel Valley)
- $28
Dry and acidic. If you’re looking for a rich, opulent Chardonnay, go elsewhere. This one’s citrusy and minerally, in the manner of an elegant Chablis. It offers a useful alternative to the modern, ultraripe, oaky style.

Holman Ranch 2010 Hunter’s Cuvée Pinot Noir (Carmel Valley)

Tart, citrusy acidity backs up cranberry, pomegranate and spice flavors in this dry, silky young Pinot Noir. It’s somewhat brusque right out of the bottle, so give it a brief decant before pouring.

Holman Ranch 2011 Estate Grown Sauvignon Blanc (Carmel Valley)
- $20
This wine never saw any oak. What you get is what the grapes contributed, which is pure, intense tangerine and lime fruit, brightened with brisk acidity. It’s a chiseled wine, but there’s a streak of honey that relieves it.
