Horse & Plow 2010 Filigreen Farm Pinot Gris (Anderson Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $20
Made from organic grapes, Horse & Plow’s Pinot Gris is earthy and austere, with finely honed acidity and lovely hints of apricot. Very balanced, dry, a tremendous version of this white wine.

Horse & Plow 2009 Harvester Red (Mendocino)
- $18
Winemaker Chris Condos appears to have the magic touch when it comes to coaxing great wines out of organic grapes in Mendocino County and this blend of Carignan Petite Sirah, Charbono, Zinfandel and Grenache is pure testament to that, a bargain bottling full of lavender and plum that presents a magical balance between flavor and grip.

Horse & Plow 2009 Testa Vineyard Carignane (Mendocino)
- $25
A very drinkable Carignane made from 40–90 year old certified organic vines grown in Mendocino, punched down by hand and given the gold-glove treatment. The result is juicy and delicious, full-bodied yet somehow light on its feet, a little blueberry here, a little spice there.

Horse & Plow 2009 Testa Vineyard Grenache (Mendocino)
- $22
A lovely, miniscule-production Mendocino Grenache, made from certified-organic grapes grown on the old vines of Testa Vineyard, some of the oldest organic vines in the North Coast. The result is a surprisingly bright, lively, fine-drinking Grenache, just as it should be, with lots of juicy cranberry and red fruit on the palate and the bones to age. A tiny bit tight…

Horse & Plow 2008 Filigreen Farm Organic Pinot Gris (Anderson Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $20
Beautiful. Grown in the cool Anderson Valley, this wine was barrel-fermented in older oak, which adds creamy vanilla notes to the intensely ripe citrus fruits, pears and honeysuckle. High acidity makes it all so clean and zesty.

Horse & Plow 2009 McFadden Farm Chardonnay (Mendocino)
- $20
Horse & Plow sourced organic grapes to craft this excellent Chardonnay, giving it the luxe treatment—handpicked, whole-cluster pressed, French oak barrel fermentation and aging nine months sur lee—and it shows. The wine is pretty, with a tropical bouquet that gives way to just enough oak-driven vanilla. Will age nicely but is also ready to drink now.

Horse & Plow 2010 Grist Vineyard Viognier (Dry Creek Valley)
- $25
Surprisingly dry and crisp for a Dry Creek Valley Viognier. Usually these wines are fatter and sweeter, but not this one. It’s streamlined and elegant, with savory apricot, Meyer lemon and slightly underripe white peach flavors. A nice food wine as an alternative to Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio.

Horse & Plow 2010 McFadden Farm Chardonnay (Mendocino)
- Online Exclusive
- $25
Horse & Plow continues to make nice wines from organic grapes. This vintage shows a subtle lemon streak with a tiny smidge of tropical guava and is all-around balanced, steely and meaty at the same time without overdone oak. Golden honey and lemon finish things off.
