Paradise Ridge 2001 Hoenselaars Vineyard Upper Block Syrah (Sonoma County)
- $32
From a block within a vineyard, a distinctive wine, with its own style and personality. Flavors span the gamut from blackberries and cassis to tobacco, rhubarb, white pepper, white chocolate and sage, and the tannins are dry, rich and complex. Has a youthful bite of acidity, suggesting short-term aging.

Paradise Ridge 2006 Hoenselaars Vineyard Zinfandel (Russian River Valley)
- $35
Spicy and briary, with wild berry, currant, tobacco, coffee, cedar and peppery spice flavors and a brambly mouthfeel. Classic Sonoma County Zinfandel. It’s dry and rich in tannins, and the alcohol level is moderate. Great with upscale barbecue.

Paradise Ridge 2001 Hoenselaars Vineyard Lower Block Zinfandel (Sonoma County)
- Online Exclusive
- $25
A tasty Zin that flatters the mouth with deliciously ripe, gooey flavors of blackberry and mulberry jam, with a long, spicy finish. The texture is smooth and velvety and the tannins are thick but friendly. You’d never believe it has nearly 16 percent alcohol, it’s so balanced.

Paradise Ridge 2004 Hoenselaars Vineyard Zinfandel (Russian River Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $30
This is a very rich, flavorful Zin, strong in fruits and spices. It calls for equally powerfully-flavored foods. With its array of blackberries, cherries, mocha, rum punch and macaroon flavors and thick tannins, it will be good with a broiled steak in a wine reduction sauce.

Paradise Ridge 2009 Stetson Greene Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc (Dry Creek Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $20
A very nice Sauvignon Blanc that shows the grassy, herbaceous edge that Dry Creek brings to so many wines. But that doesn’t mean it’s thin. On the contrary, it offers a rich mouth burst of citrus and tropical fruits, figs and green melons, with a touch of tart gooseberry. The finish is a little sweet in honey.

Paradise Ridge 2007 Elevation Cabernet Sauvignon (Rockpile)
- $40
A tough, tannic wine, not showing much generosity due to the astringency. There’s a great core of ripe, wild blackberries, blueberries, forest herbs and spices, but it is hard and somewhat rustic. A rich steak in blue cheese sauce will be a nice pairing. .
