Flowers 2010 Sea View Ridge Estate Vineyard Pinot Noir (Sonoma Coast)
- $70
A cool climate has given this wine bracing acidity and gentle-yet-persistent tannins. Its flavors of wild raspberries and cherries, with spice and mineral overtones, are delicious. There’s a feral quality that expresses umami perfectly, suggesting butter-sautéed, tamari-splashed mushrooms and crisped prosciutto. The oak is powerful and present in the form of toast…

Flowers 2010 Camp Meeting Ridge Estate Vineyard Pinot Noir (Sonoma Coast)
- Online Exclusive
- $75
This wine is an absolute joy to drink, and such a great expression of its Sonoma Coast vineyard. Its dryness, acidity and minerality highlight its terroir. Its texture is light and silky. Yet it’s immensely complex in flavors, suggesting red cherry, licorice and exotic spices that are so rich, they’re almost sweet in the finish. A tremendous Pinot Noir for drinking…

Flowers 2001 Andreen-Gale Cuvee Chardonnay (Sonoma Coast)
- $44
This is an intense, brilliantly focused wine that displays near perfect balance. The flavors are of fresh, savory lemondrop veering into spicy mango and are well oaked, while the acidity is superb, lending a steely tang to the richness. The finish lasts a full minute. This classic coast Chardonnay will hold and slowly become nutty and complex through the decade.

A classy, rich Pinot. It’s delicately structured, with a transparent silkiness. Tight in acidity and also somewhat tannic, but showing great finesse, with a spicy core of raspberries, cherries, cola, lime zest and minerals. Drink now and through 2015.

Flowers 2001 Andreen-Gale Cuvee Pinot Noir (Sonoma Coast)
- $48
Big, extremely ripe, a bit hot in alcohol, definitely full-bodied for a Pinot, with humungous fruit and a scour of tough tannins. It was very hot in the coastal hills this vintage and the wines were bigger than usual. If you can get past the size, this wine is luscious.
