Joseph Carr 2009 Dijon Clone Chardonnay (Sonoma Coast)
- Editors' Choice
- $18
Vintner Carr follows up on his great 2008 Reserve with this delicious bottling. In California, it’s usually a cinch to get fruit this ripe and tropical, and easy to plaster on lots of new oak. What’s hard is to fuse the elements seamlessly. This wine does, offering waves of Chardonnay opulence. It may have a touch of botrytis, but that’s in its favor.

Joseph Carr 2008 Reserve Chardonnay (Sonoma Coast)
- Editors' Choice
- Online Exclusive
- $23
Big and flamboyant, an impressive Chardonnay whose flavors are explosive. Tangerines, blood oranges and tropical fruits are massively enriched by sweet oak. Coastal acidity provides a fine, minerally backbone. A complex, delicious wine. Don’t drink it too cold.

Joseph Carr 2008 Sauvignon Blanc (Napa Valley)
- Editors' Choice
- $16
We need wines like this that are super-dry, ultra-crisp in acidity and sleakly lean. This one’s the anti-Chardonnay. It’s tightly wound in minerals and citrus fruits, a Sancerre-style wine born to drink with food. Crab salad in lettuce wraps or chicken satay skewers come to mind.

Big, rich and oaky, this is marked by buttered toast, orange cream and pineapple custard flavors.

Joseph Carr 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $20
A bit tough and sharp, but not a bad Cabernet. It has deep flavors of blackberries, currants, cola, anise and cedar, and is bone dry. You can bet there’s some declassified high-end wine in this blend.
