Old World 2006 Sterling Family Vineyard Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $32
An easy to drink Pinot for its dryness, exceptionally low alcohol, and cleansing acidity. It has cherry, red plum, cola and herb flavors, framed with sweet, smoky sandalwood. Decant for a while.  — S.H.  (3/1/2011)

Old World 2005 Laughlin Vineyard Zinfandel (Russian River Valley)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $28
Starting to lose its fruit and show a rich, dried berry and chocolate note. But the high alcohol is coming through. Feels soft and generous, with Porty flavors of black currants that finish a little sweet. Good with short ribs, beef stews and barbecue.  — S.H.  (3/1/2011)

Old World 2005 Dei Du Rocchi Ranch Fog Line Red (Sonoma Coast)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $25
This Cabernet-Syrah blend is made in a lighter, more acidic and earthier style than most red wines these days. With only 13.9% alcohol, it shows crisp flavors of dried cherries, tobacco, black pepper and sandalwood. Needs a good decant.  — S.H.  (3/1/2011)

Old World 2008 Tweek Block Chardonnay (Sonoma Coast)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $20
An exotic, dry and crisp Chardonnay, with plenty of toasty oak. Shows a mélange of dried orange, pineapple and pear fruit, with a minerally note. There’s a feral quality that may be the result of native yeasts. Drink now.  — S.H.  (2/1/2011)
