Linne Calodo 2005 Contrarian White (Paso Robles)
- Editors' Choice
- $36
What a complex and interesting blend of Roussanne and Viognier. Opens with a honeyed, marzipan and almond cookie bouquet, but turns surprisingly dry and acidically crisp in the mouth, with Meyer lemon, vanilla, gingerbread and Asian spice flavors. Really impressive for its power, depth and length.

Linne Calodo 2003 Rising Tides Red (Paso Robles)
- Editors' Choice

Linne Calodo 2003 Sticks and Stones Red (Paso Robles)
- Editors' Choice
- $60
With a majority of Grenache, this wine flatters with pure, sweet red and black cherry flavors. Syrah seems to bring color and depth, while Mourvèdre contributes a delicious chocolate note. The wine is fully dry, high in alcohol, soft in acidity and utterly delicious.

Linne Calodo 2004 Contrarian White (Paso Robles)
- $36
This is a distinctive blend of Roussanne and Viognier. It’s impressively rich, offering up complex waves of kiwi, vanilla custard, white peach sorbet and white chocolate flavors. That makes it sound sweet, but it’s a dry wine. A little soft, but totally delicious.
