Mia's Playground 2006 Chardonnay (Russian River Valley)
- $16
Shows the ripeness and oakiness that have characterized previous vintages, but considerably greater structure. The jammy pears and pineapples are there, but the wine isn’t as sweet as last year, and is firmer in acidity. Good value for the price.

Mia's Playground 2002 Zinfandel (Dry Creek Valley)
- $16
Racy and irresistible, a Zin that sings out with bright flavors of cherries, blackberries and raspberries, fresh as the summer sun. Soft, sweet tannins and a smidgen of oak add interest.

Mia's Playground 2005 Old Vine Zinfandel (Dry Creek Valley)
- $16
This is a very fruity, dynamic Zin with concentrated cherry, raspberry, blackberry and cola flavors, generously spiced. It has the dryness and tannic structure you want in a nice Zin, with a touch of oak.

Mia's Playground 2005 Chardonnay (Russian River Valley)
- $16
Rich, creamy and fruity, with a blast of pineapple, peach pie, green apple butter and Asian spice flavors, it’s dry, with refreshing cool-climate acidity.

Mia's Playground 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon (Alexander Valley)
- $16
Young and jammy, this is a Cab that tastes like it just came out of the fermenter. It’s all grapy, primary fruit blackberries and cherries, with an undertow of smoky vanilla.

Mia's Playground 2003 Chardonnay (Russian River Valley)
- $16
This is a pretty good wine. It has the ripe peach, tropical fruit and oaky flavors, creamy texture and oak of top Chards, although there’s a homespun rusticity that shows.

Mia's Playground 2003 Zinfandel (Dry Creek Valley)
- $16
Super-tasty in blackberry, cherry and chocolate flavors, this Zin couldn’t possibly be riper or fruitier. On the other hand, it could be crisper. Those flavors, while delicious, feel a bit syrupy, due to insufficient acidity.

Mia's Playground 2002 Pinot Noir (Sonoma Coast)
- $16
Gentle and soft, with modest flavors of cherries and cola that are dry, with zesty acidity. This is a nice, everyday Pinot.
