Costa de Oro 2008 Gold Coast Vineyard Dijon Selection Pinot Noir (Santa Maria Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $60
This is a very rich, flamboyant Pinot Noir. It offers waves of raspberries, cherries, vanilla, toast, gingersnap cookie and spices. The texture is silky smooth and elegant, while the acidity is fine and balancing. As good as it tastes, it needs more complexity and greater depth. Drink now–2014.

Costa de Oro 2008 Gold Coast Vineyard Reserva Oro Rojo Pinot Noir (Santa Maria Valley)

Soft and almost sweet in jammy, pie-filling raspberries and cherries. It’s luxuriously soft and silky, with polished tannins, and lots of people will love it. Would benefit from greater depth and complexity, but it sure is lovely. Drink now.

Costa de Oro 1999 Reserva Dorada Gold Coast Vineyard Chardonnay (Santa Maria Valley)
- $30
Tasty hazelnut overtones to the apple and cinnamon aromas mark the nose of this elegant wine. Toasted almond, pear and caramel flavors work in harmony. Good acidity and all-around stylish restraint make it a great food wine.

Costa de Oro 2008 Gold Coast Vineyard Reserva Dorada Chardonnay (Santa Maria Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $35
This very rich Chardonnay oozes showy flavors of pineapples, pears and golden mangoes, with winemaking notes of buttered toast, crème brûlée and a slight taste of yeast. It’s not particularly subtle, projecting power instead.

Costa de Oro 2008 Gold Coast Vineyard Chardonnay (Santa Maria Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $25
So sweet and caramelized in smoky oak, it tastes almost like a dessert wine. There might even be some leftover sugar in the wine. Yet it has brisk, refreshing acidity, and there’s no denying the deliciousness of the pineapple and lemon-pie flavors.
