Fontes & Phillips 2008 Chardonnay (Santa Barbara County)
- Online Exclusive
- $24
Has great weight and texture, with an unctuous, oily mouthfeel, and is crisp and dry. Almost like a great Chablis, with a tang of steel and minerals undergirding the limes, pineapples and wildflowers. The grapes are from the well-regarded Sierra Madre Vineyard.

Fontes & Phillips 2009 La Encantada Vineyard Pinot Noir (Sta. Rita Hills)
- $52
Forward in jammy raspberry and cherry fruit, this Pinot’s ripeness is balanced with crisp acidity. It’s a flashy wine, quite typical of the vineyard, for drinking now and over the next six years.

Fontes & Phillips 2009 Sierra Madre Vineyard Chardonnay (Santa Maria Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $25
An interesting and even somewhat eccentric wine. There are notes of green tea and herbs, but enough pure orange fruit to make it rich. Lots of zingy acidity, too.
