Mount Tamalpais 2006 Vin Gris Rosé (Marin County)
- Editors' Choice
- $18
This is a very interesting rosé from just north of the Golden Gate. It smells as candy-jammy as a pack of LifeSavers, then turns acidically tart in the mouth, with bright, juicy flavors of fresh raspberries and cherries. Loads of fun on its own, or with bouillabaisse, baked ham, gravlax.

Mount Tamalpais 2005 Merlot (Marin County)
- $28
From the fine producer, Pey-Marin, comes this interesting Merlot. The grapes are from cool Marin and the wine is drier, more structured and much lower in alcohol than many of its California kin. Yet it’s rich in blackberry and cherry flavors, wrapped into gentle tannins. Drink this low-production Merlot now.

Mount Tamalpais 1999 Merlot (Marin County)
- $23
Ripe cherry aromas and flavors come to the fore in this pretty wine. It’s medium bodied and elegant, displaying firm, ripe tannins and an interesting herbal edge for added complexity. One of the few wines to emerge from Marin County, better known for surfing and mountain biking. A fine first release.

Mount Tamalpais 2006 Merlot (Marin County)
- Online Exclusive
- $28
The dryness and earthiness of this Merlot are just fine. It suggests flavors of herbs, tobacco and leather, in addition to cherries. But it’s a bit too coarse and unstructured to get a higher score.

Mount Tamalpais 2004 Merlot (Marin County)
- Online Exclusive
- $25
Tannic, dry and rustic, this Merlot offers simple grapy, berry flavors. It’s from the county just north of the Golden Gate that’s making a name for Burgundian and Alsatian varieties, but not for Bordeaux.
