The Federalist 2010 Chardonnay (Russian River Valley)
- $25
Here’s a racy, chiseled Chardonnay, with a pleasant veneer of smoky, buttered toast from new oak that enriches the lime and peach fruit. Elegant rather than powerful, it’s a food-friendly wine. Try with lobster risotto.

The Federalist 2007 Estate Grown Zinfandel (Dry Creek Valley)
- $25
A very fruity Zinfandel, rewarding in blackberry, blueberry tart and currant flavors, accented with dark chocolate, anise and pepper. Too soft, and would benefit from greater crispness, but it’s a nice Zin now.

The Federalist 2008 Visionary Zinfandel (Dry Creek Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $25
Shows lots of Dry Creek Zinfandel character in the spiciness and wild, briary, brambly berries. Nice and dry, if a bit direct and overripe.

The Federalist 2009 Dueling Pistons Red (Dry Creek Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $35
Smells a little vegetal, tastes soft, sweet and hot in alcohol. Once past all that, this blend of Zinfandel and Syrah is incredibly rich in raspberries, cherries and blackberries.
