Fort Ross Vineyard 2001 Reserve Pinot Noir (Sonoma Coast)
- Editors' Choice
- $39
Riper and sexier than the regular ’01 Pinot, offering a blast of red cherry compote, smoky oak, nutmeg, cinnamon, dry cocoa. Just fabulous quality, dry, complex, all taffeta and silk. Delicate but potent, with great complexity. Has a slight earthiness that should melt away in a few years.

Fort Ross Vineyard 2002 Reserve Chardonnay (Sonoma Coast)
- $40
What a wine! Only the second release from this winery, and a really good one. Call it Chablisian for its intense mineral, metallic flavors and mouthfeel, and vibrant acidity. It also has lots of oak and lees, and is bone dry, offering tantalizing hints of lime zest, white peach and honey.

Fort Ross Vineyard 2001 Pinot Noir (Sonoma Coast)
- $34
Aromas offer less than ripe rhubarb, mint and cola alongside riper cherries and cocoa, but in the mouth, it explodes in sweet fruit and smoke. Light in body, delicately acidic, yet incredibly complex. A beautiful Pinot.

Fort Ross Vineyard 2002 Chardonnay (Sonoma Coast)
- $32
Made in the same style as the Reserve. Shows a cool-climate profile of stones, minerals, cold metal and high acidity, and is dry, elegant and ageworthy. Softening notes from oak provide sweetness. Distinct.
