Longevity 2005 Red (Central Coast)
- $28
This is a Rhône blend based on Syrah and Grenache. It’s super-fruity, with a blast of blackberries, cherries, currants and milk chocolate that taste like they were baked into a tart, and the texture is soft and velvety. Drink now.

Longevity 2009 Viognier (Lodi)
- Online Exclusive
- $18
Tastes frankly sweet, with sugary flavors of pineapple marmalade, vanilla custard and butterscotch. It’s clean in acids and spicy in the finish. If this is your style, enjoy.

Longevity 2009 Pinot Grigio (Livermore Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $18
Nice citrus, peach, apricot and vanilla flavors in this wine. But it’s too sweet for comfort, so that it tastes like fruit juice.

Longevity 2008 Mourvèdre (Livermore Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $19
A sound wine, with herb, raspberry jam and spice flavors and a somewhat flat, soft mouthfeel. There’s a salty sweetness that will work with ham.

Longevity 2008 Merlot (Livermore Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $23
Tough and leathery. Shows briary blackberry and cherry fruit and oak flavors, with a bitter, sharp finish. Okay for everyday purposes.

Longevity 2009 Syrah Rosé (Contra Costa County)
- Online Exclusive
- $18
Heavy and dull, with softly candied raspberry and currant flavors.

Longevity 2009 Sangiovese (Livermore Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $22
At 16.4% alcohol this might as well be a Port, its aroma overwhelmingly sweet, overripe and dominated by caramel syrup. The tannins are mouthpuckeringly dry, too. Tasted two bottles, both of which had crumbling corks.

Longevity 2008 Chardonnay (Livermore Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $21
Sugary and oaky, a simple wine that doesn’t do much to promote Livermore Valley. Tastes like sweetened pineapple and pear juice.
