Handley 1996 Brut Rosé Sparkling (Anderson Valley)
- $25
This is a beautiful wine to look at for the coppery-gold color and the fierce explosion of fine bubbles. Smells luscious, with subtle raspberry, lime, bread and lees aromas. This is the best rosé Handley has ever produced: amazingly rich, long and full-bodied, with the creamy smoothness of Champagne.

Handley 2003 Handley Vineyard Chardonnay (Dry Creek Valley)
- $18
Polished and elegant, this Chard has real complexity. Works beautifully to integrate its dry apple, peach and pineapple flavors, oak-driven cream and crisp acids into a coherent whole.

With crisp acidity, a bright, creamy texture and rich flavors of lemons, limes, tangerines, peaches, pears and honeysuckle, this is a delightful white wine. Dry, yet with a sweet, spicy finish it’s perfect as a cocktail sipper.

Handley 2006 Gewürztraminer (Anderson Valley)
- $18
So rich, so honeyed, with an oily texture, this Gewurz is simply wonderful. It shows powerfully ripe peach, pineapple, pear, honeysuckle, lemon cream and dusty spicebox flavors. With balancing acidity, it’s California Gewurz at its most charming.

Handley 2001 Ferrington Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc (Anderson Valley)
- Best Buy
- $14
Bites into the palate with upfront acids, but it’s not a tart wine because the fruity flavors are so fabulously rich. Lemon meringue, sweet lime, and dusty oriental spices like cinnamon are delicious. Really good wine, and addictive. —S.H.

Handley 1998 Brut Sparkling (Anderson Valley)
- $29
Here’s a nice, refreshing bubbly with lots of flavor and some elegance. The subtle strawberry and peach is balanced by notes of dough, yeast and smoke, backed by firm acids. Feels a bit rough at first, but has a clean, rich finish. A blend of 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay.

Handley 1997 Brut Rosé Sparkling (Anderson Valley)
- $28
This fragrant rose opens with very pleasant aromas of strawberries, candied lemon peel, vanilla and smoke. The flavors are full, with plenty of earth and yeasty notes around the berry core. It has a rich, creamy texture, like a full soft mousse. Goes down like velvet, and the whistle-clean finish has good length.
