Joullian 2007 RogerRose Vineyard Chardonnay (Arroyo Seco)
- Online Exclusive
- $32
Shows the savory acidity and fresh, pure flavors that inevitably mark white wines from this little appellation, which lies between the Santa Lucia Highlands and the broad plain of the Salinas Valley. Dry and tart, it’s rich in lemon, lime, fig, buttered toast and cinnamon spice flavors.

Joullian 2000 Chardonnay (Monterey)
- Best Buy
- $15
Rich and creamy, this complex, layered wine is packed with white peaches, butterscotch, toast and honey. Completely dry, with enough acidity to make it lively. Finishes with some spice. Best Buy. —S.H.

Joullian 2002 Sias Cuvee Zinfandel (Carmel Valley)
- $20
Dry and medium-bodied, a different type of Zin. It’s more restrained than most, offering berry, leather and coffee flavors, and while it’s smooth in the mouth, the acid-tannin balance is quite complex. Turns increasingly interesting on the finish.

Joullian 1999 Sleepy Hollow Vineyard Chardonnay (Monterey)
- $27
Hang onto your hat with this fruit-forward, honeyed wine, filled with oak, spices and sweetness. It’s a big, wild kicker, and calls for equally rich foods, like lobster, butter, saffron or cream. Almost a meal in itself. —S.H.

Joullian 1999 Merlot (Carmel Valley)
- $30
Long on flavor, this is a classy wine meant for white tablecloths. The pleasant aromas are of green olives, smoke, white chocolate and berries, and a hint of bacon fat. Drinks soft and plush, striking a nice balance between herbs and fruit. Some sharpness from acids is okay, and suggests short-term ageworthiness.

Joullian 2001 Chardonnay (Monterey)
- $15
Oak and lees add extra layers of complex interest to this smooth wine. It has pretty flavors of apples, peaches and honeydew, and those Monterey acids are firm and bright. The finish is notable for its rich spices and length.

Joullian 2002 Syrah (Carmel Valley)
- $30
Quite a lush Syrah. It’s perfectly ripened and brimming with black cherry, blackberry and chocolate flavors, but has complexity in the smooth tannins and polished overlay of oak. Finishes dry and long. Try with short ribs.

Joullian 2000 Sauvignon Blanc (Carmel Valley)
- $14
A wallop of a wine, packed with flavorful lemon and lime, ginger, pepper, and yellow stone fruits, especially peaches and apricots. There’s a nice, creamy mouthfeel that lasts through the long, ripe finish. Good value.
