Claudia Springs 2008 Klindt Vineyard Estate Grown Pinot Gris (Anderson Valley)

Online Exclusive

Price $17

Shows a nice, Alsatian-style balance between off-dry and dry, with crisp acidity framing citrus, pear, vanilla and candied ginger flavors. Clean and zesty, it’s a fine cocktail sipper. — S.H. (7/1/2010)

points

Horse & Plow 2009 Filigreen Farm Pinot Gris (Anderson Valley)

Price $20

Good, dry and crisp, if a little simple, with apricot, citrus and vanilla flavors. There’s a touch of green unripeness that detracts, but it’s a pretty nice wine. — S.H. (3/1/2011)

points

Ici/La-Bas 2007 Elke Vineyard Chardonnay (Anderson Valley)

Online Exclusive

Price $27

Eccentric, with sweet and sour tangerine, banana and buttered toast flavors. Crisp acidity provides balance, but the wine is nearing the end of its useful period. — S.H. (10/1/2011)

points

Handley 2010 Pinot Gris (Anderson Valley)

Online Exclusive

Price $18

This comes down on the sweet side, with orange, apricot and peach jam flavors. But the acidity is bright and clean. If you don’t like sweet California wines, this isn’t for you. — S.H. (7/1/2012)

points

V. Sattui 2011 Riesling (Anderson Valley)

Online Exclusive

Price $25

There’s lots of sweetness in this polished wine, with pretty orange, peach, vanilla and honeysuckle flavors. It would benefit from greater acidity, though, as it’s a bit soft. — S.H. (11/1/2012)

points

Handley 1998 Brut Rose Pinot Noir (Anderson Valley)

Price $29

A dry wine with a pretty copper color and delicate aromas of rasberries and cherries. Tartly elegant, this is a crisp wine that's a little rough, yet flatters with it's clean, yeasty finish. — S.H. (12/1/2001)

points

J.J. Mchale 2000 Pinot Noir (Anderson Valley)

Price $33

— W.E. (10/1/2002)

Siduri 2000 Cerise Pinot Noir (Anderson Valley)

Price $50

This intensely extracted wine came off more like Port than Pinot to our tasters. Which isn’t to say that it lacks appeal. It opens with smoked meat, spice cake and grilled nut aromas. Fat blackberry-plum flavors, a plush, low-acid mouthfeel and a full tannic finish complete the Port profile. It’s tasty if overblown, and not what most people expect. Probably best… — W.E. (10/1/2002)
