Kendric 2008 Pinot Noir (Marin County)
- $35
Kendric produces very pure, refined Pinot Noirs from this county just over the Golden Gate Bridge. The ’08 is classic, a pale amber-colored wine, rich in acidity and minerals, framing red cherry, cola and bacon flavors. Gets better as it warms in the glass.

Kendric 2007 Pinot Noir (Marin County)
- Online Exclusive
- $34
Kendric’s best Pinot yet, from this magnificent vintage. Strikes a fine balance between lushness of raspberry fruit and a stony crispness that pulls back tantalizingly into dryness and minerality, then returns to spicy richness on the finish. It will be interesting to watch this wine evolve over the next 4–8 years.

Kendric 2007 Syrah (Shenandoah Valley (CA))
- $21
A rich, dry wine, soft and velvety in tannins. It feels satisfying all the way through. Not super-big in fruit, but nuanced, offering layers of blackberries, currants, dark chocolate, herbs, leather and pepper. One of the finer Syrahs to come out of the Sierra Foothills this year. Ready now.

- $33
This is a big, mouth-filling Pinot Noir, stuffed with candy and pie-filling flavors. Shows cherries, black raspberries, cola, granola, orange peel, cedar, smoke, vanilla and cinnamon spice flavors, brightened with crisp coastal acidity. Could develop for a few years.

Kendric 2005 Syrah (Shenandoah Valley (CA))
- $18
Soft, simple and juicy, this high-altitude (1,400 feet) Syrah has a California-sweet ripeness. The flavors of cherries, berry tea, milk chocolate, anise and peppery spice are clean and forward.
