Chessman 2009 Pinot Noir
- Best Buy
- $13
The appellation is North Coast, with the fruit sourced from Mendocino and Lake Counties. It’s pale in color and delicate in structure, with raspberry, tangerine zest and fig newton flavors brightened by hefty acidity. Defines a light, elegant style, and it’s a steal at this price.

- Online Exclusive
- $15
A rustic, earthy and soft Zinfandel that’s priced attractively. It has the right amount of blackberry fruit and fistfuls of bacon and toasty oak.

Chessman 2011 Pinot Noir
- $15
This is a very pale Pinot Noir—you can almost read through it. It’s also light and simple in texture, with some polished flavors of raspberries, Dr. Pepper and spices. It finishes dry and crisp in acidity.

Chessman 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon
- Online Exclusive
- $15
A little rustic and tattered around the edges, but its dry, with ripe blackberry flavors that veer into tannic, bitter raisin skins. Drink this with a hamburger to round it out.

Chessman 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon (Paso Robles)
- Online Exclusive
- $15
This is a rustic, soft Cabernet. It tastes hotter than the official alcohol level, which is 14.5%, giving heat to the blackberry and prune flavors.
