Capiaux 2000 Pisoni Vineyard Pinot Noir (Santa Lucia Highlands)

Price $45

If there’s a single common element in the wine’s from the Pisoni Vineyard, it’s a hint of the untamed woods—underbrush, or in this case a peppery mushroominess—accompanied by lush fruit. Creamy, supple and richly textured in the mouth, this microproduction wine (127 cases) is worth seeking out. — W.E. (10/1/2002)

Capiaux 2000 Widdoes Vineyard Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley)

Price $36

This wine’s winning nose had wide appeal, with tea, leather, rose, cinnamon and root beer accents on lively cherry fruit. But tasters differed about the rest: Some felt the wine failed to deliver on the promise, turning dry and lean, too leathery and tangy. To others the ripe feel, handsomely-accented sweet fruit and long finish were excellent. — W.E. (10/1/2002)

Capiaux 2006 Swink Rosé

Online Exclusive

Price $14

It tastes of raspberry juice with a healthy spoonful of white sugar. The fundamentals are there, though. Makes you wish it were dry, like table wine ought to be. — S.H. (7/1/2007)
