Taft Street 2007 Chardonnay (Russian River Valley)
- $30
Taft Street raised the price on their ’07 Chard significantly, and it is a better wine than the ’06. It’s textbook cool-climate, with crisp acidity girding oak-inspired flavors of pineapples, green apples and pears.

Taft Street 2010 Sauvignon Blanc (Russian River Valley)
- Editors' Choice
- $16
A clean, bone-dry Sauvignon Blanc with plenty of mouthwatering acidity to get those tastebuds whistling. It has polished flavors of lemons, limes, grapefruits, vanilla and white pepper. Good value.

Taft Street 1998 Chardonnay (Russian River Valley)
- $15
Anjou pear, tangerine and some anise are detectable on the otherwise neutral nose. There’s also some pear and orange flavors that are supported by proper oaking. This wine is steady down the middle, though it does lack a certain oomph and punch.

Taft Street 2004 Poplar Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc (Russian River Valley)
- $15
There’s a lot going on in this dry, tart wine, with its vivid flavors of gooseberry, lime, grapefruit and passion fruit. From a single vineyard, it possesses an intensity and focus that make it particularly enjoyable.

Taft Street 2004 Centennial Vines Zinfandel (Russian River Valley)
- $22
It’s so easy to get a big Zin wrong, especially in a hot vintage like 2004, but Taft Street does a good juggling act with this single-vineyard Zin, made from century-old vines. The wine flirts with excessive sweetness, but pulls back at the last second, so that the blackberry, cherry and mocha flavors are essentially dry. Rich, fine tannins and brisk acidity help…

Taft Street 1998 Chardonnay (Monterey County)
- $15
Melon and tangerine aromas. Citrusy, racy mouthfeel displaying good sweet apple and mandarin orange flavors. Very fruity from stem to stern, but one of the nicest “sweeties” we tasted. Pleasing and easy to like.

Taft Street 1998 Zinfandel (Dry Creek Valley)
Cherry-scented, clean and fruity. Good concentration mid-palate, with no discernable new oak, just a balanced, firm attack and a strong, chewy finish. Only 123 cases made.

Taft Street 2001 Chardonnay (Monterey County)
- Best Buy
- $7
Monterey grapes star in this juicy wine, with its bright flavors of tropical and citrus fruits, steely acidity, and spicy notes of toasty oak and vanilla. The yummy flavors float in a creamy-smooth texture. Taft Street has long been known as an overlooked find. Its Chardonnays have consistently scored well in our tastings.
