Jeff Gordon 2008 Jeff Gordon Collection Chardonnay (Carneros)

  1. $45
Acidity, minerals and lower alcohol combine to make Gordon’s ’08 far superior to the 2007. There’s a bracing steeliness to the pineapple and green apple fruit, which is cleansed with racy acidity. The oak is a little strong, but this is a lovely, complex Carneros Chardonnay to drink now.  — S.H.  (7/1/2011)

Jeff Gordon 2008 Jeff Gordon Collection Pinot Noir (Sonoma Coast)

  1. $57
Rich in acids, ripe in fruit and balanced, with a silky texture, this is a very pretty Pinot Noir for drinking now. It has ripe, dry flavors of wild forest raspberries and cherries, bacon, sautéed mushrooms and cola.  — S.H.  (8/1/2011)

Jeff Gordon 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)

  1. $69
Rich blackberry purée, blueberry jam, raspberry pie, cherry tart and cedar flavors in this Cab. Rather direct in its appeal, and a bit too sweet, but its solid New World style will appeal to some.  — S.H.  (11/1/2010)

Jeff Gordon 2005 Merlot (Napa Valley)

  1. $49
Even nearing six years of age, this Merlot remains tannic, although the cherry and blackberry fruit is starting to dry out. There’s a curious sweetness at its core. Not going anywhere, so drink up.  — S.H.  (11/1/2011)

Jeff Gordon 2007 Ella Sofia Chardonnay (Carneros)

  1. $45
Sugary sweet in caramelized oak, pineapple jam and green apple flavors. Acidity fortunately provides some balance, but this is still is a pretty obvious wine meant to appeal to popular tastes.  — S.H.  (11/1/2010)

Jeff Gordon 2006 Joie de Vivre Red (Napa Valley)

  1. $63
Fruity and oaky and very soft, a wine made in the modern cult style meant to appeal to everybody. Tastes like an explosion in a jelly factory. Drink now.  — S.H.  (11/1/2010)

Jeff Gordon 2007 Ella Sofia Pinot Noir (Sonoma Coast)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $55
A clumsy wine at this, or any, price. It’s over-extracted in jammy cherry and red currant fruit and over-oaked, and there’s an overripe, raisiny sharpness throughout.  — S.H.  (11/1/2010)

Jeff Gordon 2007 Ella Sofia Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $65
Overoaked, with sweet, caramelized wood and vanilla flavors dominating an otherwise soft, ripe wine. The blackberries and cherries have a sugary finish, making the wine tiresome.  — S.H.  (11/1/2011)
