Main & Geary 2009 Zinfandel (Dry Creek Valley)

  • Editors' Choice
  1. $18
An ambitious wine, obviously grown from low yielding vines whose fruity flavors have been concentrated into wild blackberries and cherries, finished with the exotic spices that characterize Dry Creek Zinfandel. A very good Zin for the price.  — S.H.  (9/1/2011)

Main & Geary 2009 Chardonnay (Sonoma County)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $15
Lots of ripe pineapple and tropical fruit flavors in this direct, one-dimensional wine. Lots of oak, too, with a veneer of buttered toast and vanilla. Easy to find, with 10,000 cases produced.  — S.H.  (9/1/2011)

Main & Geary 2009 Petite Sirah

  1. $18
A little tough and gritty, showing Petite Sirah’s big-boned tannins, and also a burst of acidity. The blackberry fruit has earthy notes of tobacco and spices. Drink now.  — S.H.  (10/1/2011)

Main & Geary 2011 Pinot Grigio

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $13
This offers flavors of lemon, lime and vanilla, with clean, refreshing acidity. It’s a zesty wine, and it could make for an alternative sipper to basic Chardonnay.  — S.H.  (2/1/2013)

Main & Geary 2011 Chardonnay

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $15
Standard and proper, this is made in the popular style. It tastes sweet, with buttercream, buttered popcorn, pineapple and peach flavors, followed by a smoky, oaky tone and good balancing acidity.  — S.H.  (2/1/2013)

Main & Geary 2010 Pinot Grigio

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $13
A bit heavy, with ripe flavors of apricots, pears and oranges. There’s a hint of sweetness. It’s a rustic wine, but serve it cold at big parties and don’t worry.  — S.H.  (9/1/2011)

Main & Geary 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $20
Clean and dry, but a rather uninteresting Cabernet despite its Napa Valley address. Shows diluted blackberry and currant flavors. Pricey for what you get.  — S.H.  (3/1/2012)
