Roadhouse Winery 2009 Black Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $55
Some Pinots are light and simple. This one’s light and wonderfully complex. It’s so translucent, the minerals of the earth seem to be speaking through the fruit. Silky and delicate in the mouth, it conveys rich flavors of raspberries, cherries, cinnamon and smoky sandalwood. Drink over the next few years.

Roadhouse Winery 2010 Black Label Pinot Noir (Sonoma Coast)
- Online Exclusive
- $55
The cool 2010 vintage has allowed Roadhouse to express its focused and elegant approach to Pinot Noir with great success. Black Label is a small-production barrel selection. Silky and delicate in the mouth, it features dramatically layered flavors: cola, exotic spice, sweet red cherry and ripe raspberry. It’s a little hot on the finish, which limits its score.

Roadhouse Winery 2010 Purple Label Pinot Noir (Sonoma Mountain)
- Online Exclusive
- $48
The western slopes of Sonoma Mountain, hit by cool maritime breezes, are ideal for Pinot Noir, although little is grown there. This excellent example is dry and in structure and enormously dense in flavor, offering masses of cherry pie filling, plum sauce, sandalwood and spice that are a touch hot in alcohol.

Roadhouse Winery 2008 Pinot Noir (Santa Lucia Highlands)
- Online Exclusive
- $47
A very dry Pinot Noir, notable more for its clean elegance than opulence. Feels really sleek and crisp in the mouth, almost like a white wine. The flavors suggest tart cherries with the skins, peppery spices and a touch of cedar. Drink now.

Roadhouse Winery 2008 Pinot Noir (Sonoma Coast)
- Online Exclusive
- $44
A solid coastal Pinot. Shows lots of typicity in the dryness, crisp acidity and earthy, mushroomy flavors of cherries, and the way the tannins scour the palate. Drinks a bit hard now. Give it a year or two in the cellar.
