Toad Hollow 2007 Francine's Selection Unoaked Chardonnay (Mendocino County)
- Best Buy
- $13
A terrific Chardonnay. You won’t miss the oak at all. Offers a wealth of pineapple pie, Meyer lemon sorbet, green apple jam and vanilla flavors, brightened by clean, crisp coastal acidity. Sommeliers, buy this one in quantity. Easy to find, with 45,000 cases produced.

Toad Hollow 2007 Toad's Pride Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley)
- Cellar Selection
- $35
This big, full-bodied Pinot leaves little to the imagination. It assaults the palate with massive fruit, spice and cedar flavors that sink down into the tongue and last long on the finish. It’s dry and balanced, but really seems too young. Try giving it four years in the cellar.

Toad Hollow 2010 Eye of the Toad Dry Rose of Pinot Noir Rosé (Sonoma County)
- Best Buy
- $13
Acid fans will find plenty to celebrate with this 100% Pinot Noir. It rocks in tartness and is fully dry, with a delicate, silky mouthfeel. The flavors are subtle but satisfying, suggesting strawberries, rose petals and Provençal herbs. Easily merits its high score for getting the rosé job done right.

Toad Hollow 2008 Askew Sauvignon Blanc (Paso Robles)
- Best Buy
- $12
A very nice Sauvignon Blanc at a great price. Fully dry, it shows classic flavors of limes, lemongrass, minerals, honeysuckle and vanilla, with a suggestion of peppery spice. Brisk acidity makes it feel clean and refreshing. Sommeliers, scoop this one up by the case.

Toad Hollow 2007 Cacophony Zinfandel (Paso Robles)
- $14
Juicy in tutti-frutti blackberries, cherries, plums, raspberries and milk chocolate, this soft, smooth Zin is also very peppery. It’s a somewhat rustic wine to wash down with barbecue.

Toad Hollow 2009 Richard McDowell Vineyard Merlot (Russian River Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $13
This is a little rustic in tannins, but it has plenty of charm. It offers pleasure with its cherry, berry, tobacco and spice flavors, plus a jacket of smoky oak. Nice as an everyday sipper.

Toad Hollow 2005 Rod's Pride Goldie's Vines Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley)
- $45
With a funky note suggesting sweaty leather, this Pinot might be called Burgundian. It’s dry and silky but complex, with a range of cherry pie filling, pomegranate, cola, tangerine zest, vanilla and smoky oak flavors. Best now.

Toad Hollow 2008 Francine's Selection Unoaked Chardonnay (Mendocino County)
- Editors' Choice
- $13
No oak to interfere with the ripe, opulent flavors of pineapples, lemons, limes and tangerines, which are brightened and heightened by crisp acidity. The price is right on this balanced, savory Chardonnay.
