Mendelson 2002 Muscat Canelli (Napa Valley)
- $33
Smells and tastes like a Madeira, with that baked fruit, caramelized, brandied quality. It’s very sweet, but good crisp acidity brightens and balances the orange pastry and chocolate macaroon flavors. Delicious on its own, or with fruit and chocolate-based desserts.

Mendelson 2001 Pinot Noir (Santa Lucia Highlands)
- $38
Redolent of black cherries and cola in the nose. On the palate, it fans out to reveal spice, more cherry, strawberries, bacon, cedar, tea and spice flavors. Tannins are powdery but ripe, while the finish is bright.

Mendelson 1999 Muscat Canelli (Mendocino County)
- $35
Spice and mineral notes frame a honey-like core in this zingy dessert wine. The finish has a menthol kick.

Mendelson 2000 Pinot Gris (Napa Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $33
Very sweet and rich in honeyed citrus and vanilla flavors, this dessert wine suggests white cookies and cakes as partners. It’s not particularly complex, but it is deliciously easy to drink.

Mendelson 2007 Pinot Noir (Santa Lucia Highlands)
- $35
Too jammy to earn a higher score, although it’s a pleasant enough Pinot. Shows silky flavors of raspberries, cherries, blueberries and blackberries that taste like pie filling, dusted with cinnamon and cocoa. There’s a fine bite of acidity.

Mendelson 1999 Dessert Wine Pinot Gris (Napa Valley)
- $35
A pleasant, sweet wine, with moderate body and nutty, spicy, melon and peach notes. A bit more acidity would provide needed focus.
