Arrowood 2003 Saralee’s Vineyard Viognier (Russian River Valley)
- $30
Dick Arrowood’s Saralee’s Viognier is consistently one of the best in California. Dependably ripe in juicy tropical fruit, wildflower, honey and vanilla flavors, it’s balanced with acidity and minerals.

Arrowood 2001 Saralee’s Vineyard Syrah (Russian River Valley)
- Cellar Selection
- $39
Starts with scents of jammy blackberries and peppery spice, then adds shadings of vanilla and plum on the lush, creamy-textured palate. Finishes long, with echoes of black pepper that gracefully linger, mingling with fruity notes.

Arrowood 2007 Saralee’s Vineyard Viognier (Russian River Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $30
Arrowood captures the exotic essence of Viognier, but never lets go of balance, which is so important in taming this unbridled variety. It’s rich in pineapple, papaya and honeysuckle flavors, but dry, with rich acidity leading to a bright, clean finish.

Arrowood 2008 Reserve Speciale Chardonnay (Sonoma County)
- Online Exclusive
- $40
A lovely wine, unique and distinctive. Has the rich creaminess and citrus and tropical fruit flavors of an upscale Chardonnay, but with a nutty, exotic sweetness, like roasted cashews. Very fine, soft and opulent wine.

Arrowood 2009 Reserve Speciale Chardonnay (Sonoma County)
- $40
Buttery and creamy, with tiers of tangerine and tropical fruit flavors that turn honeyed on the finish. Despite the richness, there’s elegance and balance throughout.

Arrowood 1999 Grand Archer Merlot (Sonoma County)
- $20
Nice drinking here, with modulated berry fruit and sizable tannins, which you don’t see that much anymore. Dick Arrowood produced a complex, dry beverage that will complement a wide variety of foods. —S.H.

Arrowood 2002 Chardonnay (Sonoma County)
- $29
Here’s a powerful Chard that never loses its sense of balance. It is rich in pear, pineapple and mango flavors accompanied by notes of smoky oak and creamy lees. Feels fat and plush in the mouth.

Arrowood 2000 Cabernet Sauvignon (Sonoma County)
- $45
Rich in blackberry, mocha and oak flavors, soft and lush in approachable tannins, and with a delicious overlay of smoky oak, this is a very good wine, one to drink now and for the next few years. You wish it had a little more concentration, but it’s still a beauty.
