Bluenose 2009 Chardonnay (Sonoma County)
- Online Exclusive

Tastes thin and metallic, with minerally lemon and lime citrus flavors. Partial barrel fermentation adds some creamy richness, but this is still a fairly lean Chardonnay.

Bluenose 2007 Zinfandel (Sonoma County)
- Online Exclusive
- $20
This soft, country-style Zin has candied flavors of raspberries, red currants, licorice, pepper and bacon. It’s sweet in the finish, with a sugary aftertaste. Drink now.
