- Editors' Choice
- $45
A complex and delicious Bordeaux blend, with a bouquet of blackberries, herbs, tobacco and prunes. The nose promises a lot and the palate delivers full, sweet fruit flavors and a rich texture. The finish is long and toasty, with deep fruit and vanilla flavors and solid tannins that indicate good ageability. Best from 2002–2009.

Lockwood 1998 VSR Chardonnay (Monterey)
- $35
Apple and tropical fruit aromas accented by mint, grass and herbal notes open to an equally bright palate of pineapple, mango and citrus flavors. In this classy, medium-bodied Chardonnay, these lively elements meet buttery vanilla notes in the mouth and flow into a long caramel finish with brisk, pepper-oak accents.

Lockwood 1997 VSR Chardonnay (Monterey)
- $30
Mature and full bodied, with caramel and crème-brûlée aromas. The even, rich mouthfeel has a creamy texture. Tropical fruit, spice and caramel flavors on the palate extend into the finish, where a dry, chalky note and the underlying acidity come up. Lovely now.

Lockwood 2004 Block 7 Pinot Noir (Monterey)
- $20
Here’s a well-behaved Pinot Noir. It’s textbook coastal, a delicately structured, silky, high-acid wine with cola, cherry, root beer, rhubarb and rosehip tea flavors. Really delivers the goods at a fair price for the quality.
