Chronicle 2007 Cerise Vineyard Pinot Noir (Anderson Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $48
The vineyard is about 1,000 feet above Boonville. The wine is impeccable. Crisp in acidity, with a silky, elegant texture, it shows complex flavors of cherries, raspberries, cola, orange zest, Asian spices and earthy rhubarb. It’s dry, but with a rich, fruity-oaky sweetness. Delicious and compelling, it should develop over the next 6–8 years.

Chronicle 2009 Cerise Vineyard Pinot Noir (Anderson Valley)
- Cellar Selection
- $60
One sip is all it takes to know this is a terrific Pinot Noir. It’s dry, silky and complex, and not only that, it will develop bottle nuance over the next six years. Rich and flamboyant in cherry pie filling, persimmon and mushu-plum sauce flavors, yet layered with earthy, foresty notes of mushrooms, soy sauce and balsam. You can drink it now, but give it an hour…

Chronicle 2009 Savoy Vineyard Pinot Noir (Anderson Valley)
- Cellar Selection
- Online Exclusive
- $60
The grapes obviously were well grown, as this wine shows a particular intensity of red cherry fruit, as well as minerality. The acidity is just about perfect, the tannins brisk and fine. Yet it’s too young to offer full enjoyment. Cellar this polished Pinot Noir for 4–6 years to let it change in interesting ways.

Chronicle 2007 Pinot Noir (Sonoma Coast)
- Online Exclusive
- $35
A classy Pinot Noir that shows the attributes of its vintage and origin. The grapes come from the cooler, southern part of Russian River Valley, and the wine displays brisk acidity and complex flavors of cherries, pomegranates and cola. It’s young now, but dry and elegant, and should develop bottle complexity through 2013.
