Kokomo 2010 Malbec (Chalk Hill)
- Online Exclusive
- $36
Inky black in hue, this dry, full-bodied wine has hard tannins and a sweet black-currant flavor, which makes it a great selection to pair with steak. If you drink it now, give it a few hours of decanting.

Kokomo 2006 Zinfandel (Dry Creek Valley)
- $24
Nice and peppery-spicy, this Zin shows how well the variety performs in Dry Creek Valley, one of its natural homes. There’s a rich coating of new oak that adds vanilla and smoky chocolate flavor, but the wild blackberry, raspberry and blueberry fruit shines through.

Kokomo 2007 Windsor Oaks Vineyard Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $36
A bit sharp, with the acidity giving a cutting mouthfeel to the cherry, cola, orange zest, anise and smoky sandalwood flavors. Yet it’s nice and dry and silky, and two or three years in the bottle could provide resolution.

Kokomo 2009 Gopher Hill Block Peters Vineyard Pinot Noir (Sonoma Coast)
- $38
A difficult wine to assess. It’s so ripe and forward in sweet cherry jam and smoky, caramelized oak that it seems like a mere fruit bomb at first sip. But something about the structure goes well beyond simplicity. Could develop bottle complexity over the years, but it’s unpredictable.

Kokomo 2005 Zinfandel (Sonoma County)
- Online Exclusive
- $18
A little rustic around the edges, with that briary, brambly taste of freshly picked wild berries, this dry Zin hails from a vineyard straddling Dry Creek and Alexander valleys. It’s exuberant in spicy flavors of blackberries, blueberries, cherries and cola.

Kokomo 2007 Perotti Vineyards Zinfandel (Dry Creek Valley)
- $27
Very ripe. You can taste the sunshine in the blackberry, cherry, blueberry, mulberry and cocoa flavors. They burst in the mouth, carrying waves of spices and fruity acids through a spicy, slightly hot finish. At its best now.
