Landmark 2005 Grand Detour Pinot Noir (Sonoma Coast)
- Editors' Choice
- $30
I love this Pinot for its dry silkiness, fruit, and the way it’s so complex and ever-changing in the glass. Cherries, raspberries, cola, plum skin, mocha and dusty Asian spice are the elementary flavors, amplified by rich oak, but it’s not a fruit bomb. It’s elegant and complex, exemplifying cool-climate California in a great vintage.

Landmark 2006 Grand Detour Pinot Noir (Sonoma Coast)
- Editors' Choice
- $35
The vineyard sources of Landmark’s Grand Detour Pinot have varied, but the wine’s quality is as high as ever. Made from five well-regarded properties, the ’06 is intricately detailed, with complex flavors of dried cherries, red currants, mocha, licorice, sautéed mushrooms splashed with balsamic and smoky, vanilla-infused oak. The silky texture and spicy finish make…

Landmark 2007 Grand Detour Pinot Noir (Sonoma Coast)
- $40
This has been a consistent bottling for Landmark over the years. They took a price increase this vintage, but it’s a very fine Pinot Noir. Crisp and elegant, it brims with flavors of wild mountain cherries, raspberries, cola, orange zest, smoky oak and forest notes of pine and chamomile.

Landmark 2001 Lorenzo Chardonnay (Russian River Valley)
- $45
Firm in its steely texture, with bright citrusy acids and a mélange of fruity flavors ranging from sweet apples through peaches and pears, with a tease of pineapple purée. This lush wine has a rich, creamy texture, and finishes with butterscotchy caramel.

Landmark 2001 Damaris Reserve Chardonnay
- Editors' Choice
- $30
Lush, creamy and soft, featuring bold flavors of mango, pineapple and ripe pear framed in plenty of oak. The finish is long and spicy. This opulent Chard is a real crowd-pleaser.

Landmark 2008 Kanzler Vineyard Pinot Noir (Sonoma Coast)
- Online Exclusive
- $65
With Pinot Noir, texture is everything, and this lovely wine is pure silk and satin. That makes it drinkable now, with its pretty flavors of raspberries, cherries, cola, cinnamon butter and sandalwood. But it’s also tannicly tough, with a sandpapery scour. Seems like it should mellow over the next 3–4 years, although not much beyond that.

Landmark 2000 Overlook Chardonnay (Sonoma County)
- $25
Polished green apple and peach flavors are joined with oriental spices to provide a rich, tasty drink. Oak adds vanilla, smoke and toast. Very dry, with biting acidity. Earns extra points for complexity and great structure. —S.H.

Landmark 1997 Grand Detour Van der Kamp Vine Pinot Noir (Sonoma Mountain)
- $34
Raspberries, plums, and loads of intense, pure fruit, with cinnamon and leathery accents. Rich, chewy and concentrated, with a velvety mouthfeel and a long, voluptuous finish. Very ripe, stylish and satisfying now.
