Brogan 2007 Buena Prierra Vineyard Helio Doro Block Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $90
So dry, so crisply acidic, so silky in the mouth, and so rich in flavor. This is a truly distinctive Pinot Noir. It shows the variety’s elusive personality, now rich in cherries and currants, withdrawing into minerals and herbs. Yet the final impression is of fine, silky decadence. Should develop in fascinating directions over the next 6–8 years.

Brogan 2006 Michaela's Reserve Pinot Noir (Sonoma Coast)
- Online Exclusive
- $110
A spectacular Pinot that succeeds due to superior structure and complex flavors. With a silky texture, it feels smooth in the mouth, and shows dry, cool-climate flavors of raspberries, cola, oranges and anise, with the most lovely overlay of smoky oak. Beautiful acidity and finely meshed tannins provide the architecture. Drink now–2014.

Brogan 2007 Morning Dew Ranch Pinot Noir (Anderson Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $50
What’s so likeable about this Pinot is its dryness, silkiness and elegance. It shows a cool-climate structure, with a bite of acidity and fine tannins, and tantalizing flavors of raspberries, cherries, cola and minerals. Should develop in the bottle over the next six years.

Brogan 2006 My Father's Vineyard Shula's Pond Pinot Noir (Anderson Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $65
Very delicious, with the silky mouthfeel you want in a fine Pinot Noir. The flavors are cool-climate crisp, with raspberries, cherries and cola, balanced with subtle herbs and tobacco. Feels a bit direct and jammy in the mouth for development. Drink now.

Brogan 2007 Lingenfelder Vineyard Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $65
Tastes soft and almost sweet, with melted raspberry and cherry-pie-filling flavors. It’s rich and oaky, but the palate lacks some grip, some structure, something to hang on to.
