Davis Family 2009 Horshehoe Bend Vineyard Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $45
The winery’s ’08 bottling of this Pinot was very good, but this is considerably better. It’s rich in red cherries and ripe persimmons, with complex notes of grilled beef, cola and sautéed wild mushrooms, and has a long, spicy finish. A joy to drink now, and it will develop bottle nuances over the next six years.

Davis Family 2008 Cuvee Luke White
- $26
A beautiful, golden-colored blend of Roussanne, Marsanne and Viognier so lush no bottle will go unfinished. Honey and honeysuckle aromas are followed by plenty of pleasing peach and apricot and the perfect amount of minerality to hold it all together. Yum.

Davis Family 2009 Starr Ridge Vineyard Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $45
With waves of raspberry, cherry, honeyed cream, cinnamon and caramelized oak flavors, this defines the word delicious. The richness is balanced by crisp acidity and delicate tannins. Just superb to drink now; try pairing it with lamb that’s been salted and peppered, seasoned with a hint of rosemary.

Davis Family 2009 Soul Patch Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $45
This is delicious in raspberry and cherry jam and cola flavors, with a mushroom and grilled hamburger note that adds to its appeal. Dry and crisp, it could develop complexity over the years, but there’s no reason not to give it a decanting and enjoy it now.

A consummate Russian River Pinot Noir in an accessible style. This is simply enchanting, like raspberry-infused silk dusted with brown butter, cinnamon and vanilla. Showing just beautifully now, this is soft and gentle, and it should glide through the next six years.

Davis Family 2006 Guyzer Block Syrah (Russian River Valley)
- $38
It’s quite good, a dry, full-bodied wine with complex, mashed blackberry and cherry fruit baked into peppery, cinnamony pie crust. There are additional, savory nuances of tamari, broiled ground beef and sweet Provençal herbs. Have this dry, powerful Syrah with fine roasted meats.

Davis Family 2002 Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley)
- $30
A wonderfully polished and supple wine that pleases with oodles of rich, smoky, cherry flavors and a smooth, chocolatey mouthfeel. The silky texture and crisp acidity make it complex and rewarding. Really a winner.

Davis Family 2003 Dutton Ranch Chardonnay (Russian River Valley)
- $35
What Dutton Ranch Chards share is a crisp, appley crunchiness, edging into the tropics in a good vintage. In this case, it adds rich new oak and a creamy, leesy mouthfeel, and the flavors approach decadent guava and nectarine.
