Kokomo 2008 Peters Vineyard Winemakers Reserve Pinot Noir (Sonoma Coast)
- $48
Almost indistinguishable from a Premier Cru Beaune Burgundy, this Pinot, with alcohol of only 14.1%, is light in body, silky and dry. In the mouth, it shows a firm minerality, with cherry tart and spice flavors. A polished, subtle wine that should age well over the next ten years.

Kokomo 2010 Peters Vineyard Chardonnay (Russian River Valley)
- Editors' Choice
- Online Exclusive
- $28
This shows a fine balance of citrus and tropical fruit richness with a firm minerality, and the oak is pleasantly in the background. A touch of lees character gives it a Champagne-like doughiness.

Kokomo 2011 Pauline’s Vineyard Grenache Rosé (Dry Creek Valley)
- Editors' Choice
- Online Exclusive
- $22
This is what rosé should be: pale in color, dry, delicate and tart in acidity, with subtle but complex herb, tea, orange zest and spice flavors. It represents a significant milestone in California rosés.

Kokomo 2007 Petite Sirah (Dry Creek Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $27
The Yiddish word “zaftig” perfectly describes this Petite Sirah. It’s big, powerful and fleshy, with potent flavors of blackberries, cherries, plums, currants, dark chocolate, licorice, bacon and peppery spices, all wrapped into significant tannins. A very nice example of the variety, it’s dry and balanced, and should age for years.

Kokomo 2008 Petite Sirah (Dry Creek Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $27
So soft, silky and sweet in blackberries, cherries and red currants, it could be a big, ripe Pinot Noir. That’s a compliment. Petite Sirah can often be overpowering. This one’s delicate, elegant and frankly delicious. Best now and over the next four years.

Kokomo 2008 Pedroni Vineyard Cabernet Franc (Dry Creek Valley)
- $36
Quite a nice Cabernet Franc, dry, smoothly tannic and not too fruity. There’s a streak of herbs and tobacco that accompanies the cherry and cola flavors. Not an ager, but a sophisticated, elegant red wine to drink now with steak.

Kokomo 2005 Winemaker's Reserve Peters Vineyards Pinot Noir (Sonoma Coast)
- $45
Beautiful Pinot, from this new winery headquartered in Dry Creek Valley. Shows long hangtime cherry, blackberry, blueberry, raspberry and cola flavors, grounded in earthier notes of coffee, rhubarb and wild mushroom, and finishes dry and elegant. Would benefit from higher acidity, which limits its ageability.

Kokomo 2008 Peters Vineyard Chardonnay (Russian River Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $28
Lush in pineapple cream, Key lime pie, kiwi fruit, white peach and apricot flavors, this Chardonnay is as rich as they come. There’s also a welcome overlay of zesty, citrusy acidity. The finish is honey sweet, in the modern style.
