Nicholson Ranch 2005 Pinot Noir (Sonoma Valley)
- $32
The winery says this was the longest hangtime vintage in their history. The fruit is extraordinarily ripe in blackberries and cherries, with a rich coating of smoky oak, but retains a nice tannin-acid balance. Scads of Asian spices make the finish exotic. Drink now.

Nicholson Ranch 2006 Las Madres Syrah (Los Carneros)
- Online Exclusive
- $35
This is a pleasant, full-bodied Syrah for drinking now. It’s softly tannic and dry, with flavors of red cherries, bacon, smoky oak and peppery spices.

Nicholson Ranch 2006 Artist Series Cactus Hill Pinot Noir (Sonoma Valley)
- $50
You’ll find luscious flavors of sour red cherries, anise, pecan pie, cola and smoke in this dry wine. But it’s a little too soft, structurally, which will limit development. Drink now.

Nicholson Ranch 2005 Chardonnay (Sonoma Valley)

Simple and too oaky, with peach, pineapple, vanilla cream and buttered toast flavors. The toast overwhelms everything.
