Guenoc 2002 Genevieve Magoon Vineyard Reserve Chardonnay (Guenoc Valley)
- $26
Lots of extracted, ripe pineapples, pears and butter-sauteed bananas, as well as dusty oriental spices and good acidity. There’s a smoky edge of charcoal from well-toasted oak in this big wine.

Guenoc 2009 Sauvignon Blanc
- Best Buy
- Online Exclusive
- $10
A light colored, lightly treading Sauvignon Blanc from vineyards around California, made by Lake County's Guenoc, cool-fermented in stainless steel and ready to drink now. Refreshing pear and vanilla flavors and lively acidity make it a good choice for summer drinking.

Guenoc 1998 Genevieve Magoon Reserve Chardonnay (Guenoc Valley)
- $30
Opens with an appealing bouquet of pear, caramel and toasty oak. However, the wine does not follow through as positively, turning slightly woody and lemony. Lacks the body and finish we have experienced here before.

Guenoc 1998 Sauvignon Blanc
- Best Buy
- $10
A delicious wine with an intense floral nose and deep melon and citrus fruit on the opening. The center is complex, with layers of spice and a full mouthfeel. There are hints of pear and mint on the finish.

Guenoc 2008 Victorian Claret
- $15
A pleasantly drinkable, rich Claret out of Lake County’s Guenoc, moderate in alcohol (13.5%) with cranberry, raspberry and chocolate on the nose and intermingled with the vanilla and cinnamon from the oak, half of it American. A fine addition to the backyard barbecue.

Guenoc 2003 Petite Sirah (Lake County)
- $16
Robust and hearty, this is a wine to quaff with short ribs, roast lamb, broiled chicken. It’s big, dry and tannic, with full-throttle blackberry, coffee and sweet plum flavors that finish in a swirl of dusty spices. Try decanting for a few hours before serving.

- $20
This is a country-style wine. Dry and satisfying, it shows rich tannins and soft acids framing cherry, blackberry and cola flavors. Easy to sip with burgers or roast chicken.

Guenoc 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon (Lake County)
- Online Exclusive
- $17
A sound everyday Cab at a pretty good price. Displays smooth structure, and the ripe flavors of blackberries, blueberries and cherries carry a touch of smoky cedar.
