Foursight 2008 Charles Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc (Anderson Valley)
-
$20
Shows great acidity that really gets the tastebuds whistling, and also deep, complex varietal flavors of Meyer lemons, limes and sweet vanilla, with a green grass component in the background. Very fine and dry, an elegant, sophisticated Sauvignon Blanc of great integrity.

Foursight 2007 Charles Vineyard Clone 05 Pinot Noir (Anderson Valley)
-
$49
Young and fresh now, with candied flavors of cherries, red currants, cola, cocoa, mint and sweet sandalwood, wrapped into a silky texture. The acidity, tannins, fruit and oak need a few years to mesh together, but this should be a pretty wine by 2011.

Foursight 2010 Charles Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc (Anderson Valley)
-
$20
Anderson Valley is better known for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, but the cool climate is also good for Sauvignon Blanc. Foursight’s 2010 is a delightful wine, vibrant in citrus, tropical fruit and peach flavors, and there’s no oak to interfere with its purity. With a finish that seems just a little sweet, it’s a fine companion for Asian fare.

Foursight 2009 Charles Vineyard Clone 5 Pinot Noir (Anderson Valley)
-
$49
Shows the strong acidity of Foursight’s new Pinot Noirs, but also considerable deepth and lushness. Once the mouth adjusts to the acids, it’s able to appreciate waves of cherries, blackberries, currants and cola, while 50% new oak adds rich notes of smoke and burnt butter. A lovely, dry and impressive wine, fine now with an hour or two in the decanter.

Foursight 2007 Charles Vineyard All In Pinot Noir (Anderson Valley)

$46
Delicious now for its rich array of black cherry jam, raspberry tart, mocha, cola, anise and vanilla-cedar flavors, wrapped into an easy, silky mouthfeel. Feels elegant and good, and probably best now through 2011.
