Silver Mountain 2001 Estate Chardonnay (Santa Cruz Mountains)

Price $20

Made from organic grapes, this Chard has tremendously forward fruit flavors, ranging from ripe white peaches to tropical mangoes and guava. It’s also well-oaked and juicy in acids. It’s a powerhouse that, despite its age, tastes fresh and lively. — S.H. (3/1/2006)

Silver Mountain 2002 Pinot Noir (Monterey)

Price $28

This is a very dry, high-acid Pinot that comes across as a bit lean and angular right now, with coffee and cola flavors that just hint at cherries. But the fruit is there. Give it a year or two to settle down and express its complexity. — S.H. (3/1/2006)

points

Silver Mountain 1997 Chardonnay (Santa Cruz Mountains)

Price $18

With this one you never get totally past the sulfuric, heavily buttered-up start. From there it improves a little, showing apples, spice and light pear fruit in the mouth. In the end, however, it is an overdone wine that is heavily oaked and getting old as we speak. — W.E. (6/1/2000)

points

Silver Mountain 2007 Estate Bottled Pinot Noir (Santa Cruz Mountains)

Online Exclusive

Price $38

Too overtly sweet. Some wines like this are super-fruity in cherries and raspberries but finish dry. This one doesn’t, despite a scour of acidity. Feels unbalanced. Drink now. — S.H. (8/1/2010)
