Robert Sinskey 1997 Chardonnay (Carneros)
- $25
Bright, lemony aromas and flavors. Very forward, with lavish oak. Supple, rich and complex, this is a big wine that gives pleasure all the way through to the long, sweet, oaky-spicy finish. A real crowd-pleaser.

Robert Sinskey 2000 RSV Four Vineyards Pinot Noir (Carneros)
- $46
Lots of oak here, with a burst of vanilla and charry new barrel scents at first. Warm it up and a myriad of fantastic aromas wafts out: red cherries, cola, anise, sauteed mushrooms and rosehip tea. Firm and well-structured, this wine is full-bodied and sturdy, and fairly tannic. Drink now through 2010

Robert Sinskey 2001 Four Vineyards Pinot Noir (Carneros)
- $46
A fruit-driven Pinot Noir that still manages to evoke so many of the undergrowth, damp leaf aromas associated with this elusive grape variety. It has elegance, subtlety, mineral flavors and spicy, smoky, toasty wood. From vines that were first planted in 1982, this is a wine that should evolve well over five to 10 years.

Robert Sinskey 2001 Vandal Vineyard Pinot Noir (Carneros)
- $46
The first impression of this wine is that it is still very young. The fruit is full of primary tastes, raspberries and redcurrants. There are firm, smoky tannins, and very fresh acidity. But it is going to be a very fine, elegant wine when it comes together. Give it three years and it will have grown up.

Robert Sinskey 1995 Reserve Merlot (Carneros)
- $33
Dark color. The nose is dominated now by intense smoky oak—well-charred, with accompanying vanilla and anise notes. Tastes dense, concentrated and tannic now. A big, well-ripened wine obviously built for the cellar. Should age well.

Robert Sinskey 2001 Three Amigos Vineyard Chardonnay (Carneros)
- $30
A fine, elegant Chardonnay from Robert Sinskey’s Carneros vineyards, that shows some pure, crisp, cool climate flavors of pears and green plums to balance the subtle wood flavors. A finely-crafted wine, which is very food friendly.

Robert Sinskey 2001 Cabernet Franc (Carneros)
- $36
A perfumed style of Cabernet Franc, which benefits from its relatively cool climate location in Carneros. It has a rich, complex style, with bitter cherry flavors of firm, dry tannins. There is just a slight note of bell pepper and the final impression is of a restrained elegant style, never too powerful.

Robert Sinskey 2001 Three Amigos Vineyard Pinot Noir (Carneros)
- $46
A soft, seductive style of Pinot Noir, full of ripe, strawberry flavors and very pure fruit tastes. There are firm tannins, but they do not dominate the smoky fruit along with flavors of dark plums, and beautiful acidity. A lovely, understated wine.
