Van Ruiten 2004 Old Vine Zinfandel (Lodi)
- $18
Rich in the flavors of blackberry, cherry, raspberry and blueberry, this dry wine has a rustic texture. Even though the official alcohol is 14.5%, it tastes a little prickly.

Van Ruiten 2007 Estate Grown Pinot Grigio (Lodi)
- Online Exclusive
- $14
A useful white wine. It’s made in a dry, tart style, with pleasing tastes of bitter lemon and lime, herbs, tobacco and peppery spices, brightened with zesty acidity.

Tart in acidity and very fruity, this Chardonnay has the sweet-and-sour flavor of Mandarin orange duck sauce, with a note of buttered popcorn.

Van Ruiten 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon (Lodi)
- $15
Soft, dry and earthy, with diluted fruit flavors that have an off-putting medicinal note. This wine is just barely acceptable.

Van Ruiten 2003 Late Harvest Zinfandel (Lodi)
- $26
Soft, simple and not even very sweet, with cherry and mocha flavors that have a harsh, bitter tinge to the finish.
