Monterey Vineyard 2007 Chardonnay (Arroyo Seco)
- Online Exclusive
- $23
A good Chardonnay with some special qualities. It’s dry, creamy and crisp, and you’ll find a stony minerality grounding the pear, vanilla and buttered toast flavors.

Monterey Vineyard 2007 Pinot Noir (Santa Lucia Highlands)
- Online Exclusive
- $26
Nice and silky, with crisp acidity framing flavors of cherries, cola, sandalwood and peppery spices. It’s a bit rough in texture and simple, but shows good Pinot character.

Monterey Vineyard 1998 Chardonnay (Monterey County)
- $7
The aroma is a little weak or watery, with light apple and pear notes. Drinks tutti-fruity; a soft, simple wine that’s clean and refreshing.

Monterey Vineyard 1998 Cabernet Sauvignon (Monterey County)
- $7
Starts out with rough, earthy blackberry and cassis aromas, with deeper notes of plum and chocolate. Drinks very soft and velvety, almost too much so; seems to lack acidity and vibrancy. At this price, though, you can’t expect miracles.

Monterey Vineyard 1997 Pinot Noir (California)
- $8
Decent nose, with a touch of complex earth and barnyard aromas over the cherry fruit. The palate expands with dried flowers, berries and brush flavors that carry over onto the finish. Good basic Pinot Noir.

Monterey Vineyard 1997 Merlot (California)
- $7
Black-tea and spice notes include thyme and black pepper. Sweet black-cherry fruit struggles to make its mark. The overall impression is of an herbal oddity that’s more of an intellectual experience than a hedonistic one.

Monterey Vineyard 1999 Pinot Noir (Central Coast)
- $7
It’s got a good color, a pretty ruby, and the aromas suggest sun-dried tomatoes, beetroot, and just the faintest hint of cherry, with sweeter, vanilla-accented notes. Very soft, with low acidity and raspberry-cherry fruit flavors.
