Ancient Oak Cellars 2008 Chardonnay (Russian River Valley)
  1. $20
Shows lots of fruity richness, with Asian pear, pineapple, peach and green apple flavors, brightened by crisp acidity. It’s surprisingly fresh for a 2008 Chardonnay, but you should drink it quickly before it starts to go downhill.  — S.H.  (4/1/2012)

Ancient Oak Cellars 2009 Siebert Ranch Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $35
Ripe and fruity in raspberries and cherries, this Pinot is also sweet in toasty oak. It has a nice, pleasantly silky texture. Not going anywhere, but good for drinking now.  — S.H.  (4/1/2012)

Ancient Oak Cellars 2007 Siebert Ranch Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $35
Soft and sweet, this Pinot has simple but appealing raspberry, cherry, cola and spice flavors. It would score higher if the texture was more potent.  — S.H.  (4/1/2012)

This Pinot Noir is thin and simple, but it does have some pretty spice, raspberry candy and persimmon flavors. Tastes fairly sweet, but crisp acidity provides balance.  — S.H.  (4/1/2012)

Ancient Oak Cellars 2009 Warnecke Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon (Alexander Valley)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $32
An unbalanced wine, with harsh tannins and some overripe, pruny flavors. Oddly enough, there also are underripe, green notes.  — S.H.  (4/1/2012)

Ancient Oak Cellars 2010 Pagnano Vineyard Zinfandel (Russian River Valley)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $32
A superspicy Zin, marked by a blast of black pepper, clove and anise. The flavors are extracted and sweet to the point of appearing overripe, with blackberries and prunes leading to a tannic, bitter finish. Drink now.  — S.H.  (4/1/2012)
