St. Francis 2007 Red Splash (Sonoma County)
- Online Exclusive

Hearty and rustic, this is a blend of several varieties—including Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah—it’s an all-purpose, slightly sweet red wine for drinking with spaghetti and meatballs, burgers and chili.

Gundlach Bundschu 2009 Mountain Cuvée Red (Sonoma County)
- Online Exclusive
- $24
This is way too soft for comfort, with soft tannins and slight acidity that leave the fruit and alcohol to star.

Turning Leaf 2003 Sonoma Reserve Pinot Noir (Sonoma County)
- Online Exclusive

Pretty thin despite the price. You get alcohol and oak, with thinned-down cherry cola flavors.

Sonoma Creek 2005 Pinot Noir (Sonoma County)
- $13
Soft, simple and sweetish, this Pinot has cherry pie filling, cola and rhubarb pie flavors. It contains a dollop of Petite Sirah, which gives it more body.

Sonoma Creek 2006 Pinot Noir (Sonoma County)
- $15
Not a very satisfying wine. Feels acidic and sharp in the mouth, with thin, minty flavors that only barely contain cherry fruit. But it’s clean and silky.

Canihan 2008 Exuberance Pinot Noir (Sonoma County)
- Online Exclusive
- $50
Marked by vegetal notes, as the 2007 was, this wine has an objectionable asparagus smell and taste. Other than that, sweet red cherries and oak mark it.
