Fritz 1997 Old Vine Zinfandel (Dry Creek Valley)
- $20
Nice dusty, berry, spicy aromas. Textbook Dry Creek Zin, with rich, bright berry fruit. Jammy and delicious, with crisp acidity. For fans of kick-butt Zin. Note the high alcohol 14.8%.

Fritz 1997 Dutton Ranch Chardonnay (Russian River Valley)
- $20
From a justly famed vineyard source comes this fruit-forward wine, showing green apple, peach, and smoky-oaky aromas and flavors. A big, ripe mouthful of California-style fruit, with a buttery, creamy texture, and plenty of toasty oak. Very fine.

Fritz 2007 Ruxton Chardonnay (Russian River Valley)
- $35
The wine is from a vineyard in the Sonoma Coast. It’s quite beautiful, with a bracing acidity and minerality suggesting the tang of stones. But it’s enormously rich in fruit, brimming with pineapples, mangoes, green apple butter and pears. Just delicious.

Fritz 2006 Ruxton Chardonnay (Russian River Valley)
- $35
A generous Chardonnay whose spicy taste leads to a crisp, dry finish. The wine is wonderfully ripe, showing pineapple, golden kiwi, Key lime pie and oaky vanilla flavors.

Fritz 2005 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon (Dry Creek Valley)
- $50
Showing the rustic tannins and peppery spices that Dry Creek Cabs usually possess, this Cab wants a little time in the cellar. With black currant, chocolate, tobacco and herb flavors, it’s very close in quality to the winery’s regular ’05 Cab, with a little more concentration and a firmer tannin structure.

Fritz 2008 Chardonnay (Russian River Valley)
- $25
Really delicious, a rich, opulent wine that beguiles from first sip to last. It’s sweetly caramelized and vanilla-oaky, with crisp acidity brightening ultraripe flavors of pineapples, golden mangoes and buttered toast.

Fritz 1998 Shop Block Vineyard Dutton Ranch Chardonnay (Russian River Valley)
- $30
A very distinctive Chard—full of character and even eccentricity. There are strong, up-front aromas of tangerines, vanilla, butterscotch, smoke, ripe peaches and caramel. It’s especially notable for the thick, creamy texture and a penetrating, spicy clove note that follows through on the long, rich finish. A complex, serious wine.

Fritz 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon (Dry Creek Valley)
- $35
Fritz has made tremendous progress with Cab over the years, and their ’05 represents an exciting new step. It’s true to the variety, a smoothly dry, tannic wine that brims with currants, cherries and cocoa. Yet it showcases the brambly, briary, peppery notes you find in the best Dry Creek Valley Cabs.
