Esterlina 2007 Riesling (Cole Ranch)
- $19
This is Esterlina’s off-dry Riesling, and it’s as good in its semi-sweet way as a dry bottling. Shows the same brilliant acidity and delicious citrus, peach, wildflower and vanilla flavors, with a complex, honeyed richness.

Esterlina 2007 Dry Riesling (Cole Ranch)
- Editors' Choice
- $19
If more Rieslings tasted like this, more consumers would buy them. As the label says, the wine is dry, but it’s so rich in citrus, peach, green apple, wildflower and vanilla flavors, it tastes sweetly honeyed. Crisp, bright acidity provides a zesty clean feeling.

Esterlina 2010 Rose of Pinot Noir Rosé (Cole Ranch)
- Online Exclusive
- $18
Esterlina has made a lovely, dry and refreshing Rose here, using Pinot Noir grapes from their tiny appellation just outside of the Anderson Valley. With strawberry and watermelon and even a splash of pink lemonade going on, it’s not only beautiful in color, but has enough body to hold up to a range of foods, with spot-on acidity.

Esterlina 2009 Reserva Pinot Noir (Cole Ranch)
- Online Exclusive
- $55
Esterlina’s Pinot is very perfumey, light in body and soul at first, as it gathers steam with a tasty backbone of lush red fruit, spice and plenty of staying power over a meal.

Esterlina 2010 Riesling (Cole Ranch)
- Online Exclusive
- $22
Light in color and subtle in aromatics, Esterlina’s Riesling is just slightly sweet in a tropical kind of way, but lightly and delicately so. Overall, very balanced, crisp and perfumed, this is an elegant wisp of a wine.

Esterlina 2008 Cole Ranch Riesling (Cole Ranch)
- Online Exclusive
- $19
From a producer with a generally good track record for off-dry Riesling comes this delightfully crisp, fruity wine. With a touch of white sugar in the background, it shows brisk flavors of limes, peaches, green apples and vanilla.

Esterlina 2010 Dry Riesling (Cole Ranch)
- Online Exclusive

Esterlina’s Dry offering is smooth, crisp and yes, dry, with a lot of light lemon scents and flavors. Would pair well with seafood or lemony chicken.

Esterlina 2004 Riesling (Cole Ranch)
- Online Exclusive
- $16
Frankly off-dry to semi-sweet, but with pronounced acidity to balance, this is a Spätlese-style Riesling. It’s rich in garden fruit and flower flavors, with a savory spiciness and a long, clean aftertaste.
