Husch 2009 Knoll Pinot Noir (Anderson Valley)

Price $40

Showing lots more depth and focus than Husch’s regular Pinot Noir, this wine comes from nearly 40-year-old grapes grown on the estate. It’s charming, light and silky in the mouth, with brilliant acidity framing intense flavors of cherries and spices. Should age well for up to a decade. — S.H. (6/1/2012)

Husch 2003 Renegade Sauvignon Blanc (Mendocino)

Editors' Choice

Price $18

Made from wild yeasts, hence the name, this wine is twice the size of Husch’s regular ’03 Sauvignon Blanc. It’s rich and intense in fig, apple, grapefruit, honeydew and spice flavors, with a creamy texture brightened by firm acids and sweetened with considerable oak. One of the more rewarding Sauvignon Blancs I’ve had in a while. — S.H. (11/1/2005)

Husch 2001 La Ribera Vineyards Chardonnay (Mendocino)

Price $18

I love the juicy acidity in this wine. It lifts and brightens the lime, pineapple and breadfruit flavors and makes them shine. An edge of oak adds a pretty polish of smoky vanilla and toast. The combination of freshness and ripe fruit is delicious. — S.H. (8/1/2004)

Husch 2010 Sauvignon Blanc (Mendocino)

Best Buy

Price $14

There’s no oak at all on this savory young Sauvignon Blanc, which delivers its richness directly to the palate, undiluted. Those flavors are of green fruits: melons, apples, limes and the slightly sour, flowery tang of gooseberries. Fine acidity makes it all brisk and mouthwatering. An outstanding Sauvignon Blanc for today’s ethnic fare, at a great price. — S.H. (12/31/2011)

Husch 2011 Sauvignon Blanc (Mendocino)

Online Exclusive

Price $14

As good as last year, this vintage has a subtle lemon taste that’s layered with dashes of lilting lychee and fresh cantaloupe. Well integrated and pleasant, it will pair with spicy and seafood-infused foods, or go down easy on its own. — V.B. (12/31/2012)

Husch 2000 Apple Hill Vineyard Pinot Noir (Anderson Valley)

Price $35

This opens with plum, stable and stewed-fruit aromas. Tasters were impressed by the black and red fruit, meat, smoke, red earth, caramel and cinnamon flavors packed into the palate. The long chewy finish shows off intense fruit and pepper-clove accents. Best after 2003. — W.E. (10/1/2002)

Husch 2003 Pinot Noir (Anderson Valley)

Editors' Choice

Price $21

This is a very pure, clear Pinot Noir. It doesn’t have a lot of alcohol, extract or oak. It’s ripe in cherries and blueberries, but not overripe. The acidity is bright and the mouthfeel is silky. In other words, it’s super-drinkable. — S.H. (11/1/2005)

points

Husch 1999 Special Reserve Chardonnay (Anderson Valley)

Price $25

Lean and tight, this is an appley wine with high acidity. The minerally, steely texture is firm and just the right match for fish. The oaky overlay adds richness but does not overwhelm this young, vivacious wine. —S.H. — S.H. (2/1/2003)
