Claiborne & Churchill 2009 Twin Creeks Pinot Noir (Edna Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $36
A complex young Pinot Noir, high in mouthwatering acidity and bone dry. The tartness gives the cherry and cranberry fruit a refreshing sour candy taste. Not an ager, but give it a good decant.

Claiborne & Churchill 2005 Pinot Gris (Arroyo Grande Valley)
- $18
Try this next time you’re looking for something rich like a Chardonnay, streamlined like a Sauvignon Blanc, but different. It has the creamy opulence of Chard, with honeyed melon, pineapple and peach custard flavors. Yet there’s firm acidity and a minerally core that gives the wine backbone.

Claiborne & Churchill 2002 Twin Creeks Pinot Noir (Edna Valley)
- $33
A real success story for its delicate, refined structure and lovely flavors of cola, sassafras, orange peel and tart red cherries. Very dry, with some firm tannins, the wine is closed now, and will benefit from hours of decanting.

Claiborne & Churchill 2002 Pinot Noir (Edna Valley)
- $16
What a lovely wine. It showcases the success that Edna Valley enjoyed this vintage. Rich, oaky forest floor, mushroom, hard spice and tomato notes. Red stone fruits also star in the complex flavors. Fairly tannic and bone dry, with great balance, this is a wine that will benefit from mid-term aging or decanting.

Claiborne & Churchill 2008 Dry Riesling (Central Coast)
- $18
A delightful Riesling, crisp in Central Coast acidity and with classic flavors of green apples, citrus fruits, honeysuckle flowers and a pungent note of petrol. It straddles the border between dry and off-dry, and is easy to like with Vietnamese and Cambodian fare.

Claiborne & Churchill 2006 Pinot Gris (Central Coast)
- Editors' Choice
- $18
The wine is totally dry and racy in acidity, with complex flavors of citrus fruits, peaches, apricots, grapefruits and peppery spices. What a lovely, savory wine to drink with just about everything from mussels to grilled swordfish to roasted chicken.

Claiborne & Churchill 2000 Dry Gewürztraminer (Central Coast)
- Online Exclusive
- $14
ItÕs a little misleading to call it Òdry.Ó The floral, fruity flavors taste like a fig newton or a peach cobbler, with an intense spiciness thatÕs partly varietal, partly the result of excellent acidity. That steely quality supports the fruitiness. The wine is balanced and quite delicious.
