Pennywise 2009 Pinot Noir (California)

  • Best Buy
  1. $12
Top 100 Best Buys 2011
Surprisingly sophisticated for a Pinot Noir at this price. It’s dry, light in the mouth and elegantly structured, with a nice bite of acids and tannins. The flavors are delicate in sour cherries, sweet tomato jam and dusty spices.  — S.H.  (10/1/2011)

Pennywise 2008 Chardonnay (California)

  • Best Buy
  1. $12
Great price for a big production (5,000 cases) Chardonnay of this quality. It’s dry and crisp and elegantly structured, with savory citrus fruit, peach, mineral and vanilla flavors. Easily as good as many Chards far more costly. From Don Sebastiani & Sons.  — S.H.  (9/1/2010)

Pennywise 2005 Petite Sirah (Napa Valley)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $30
With grilled black and red fruit, sugared black coffee and raisin pie flavors, this Petite Sirah is a little sweet, and also very tannic. It might age out, but right now it’s kind of rustic.  — S.H.  (12/22/2011)
