River Road Vineyards 2005 Vanessa's Vineyard Syrah (Russian River Valley)
- $16
Lots to like in this rich, peppery Syrah. It’s a full-bodied, complex sipper, with subtlely earthy flavors of blackberries, blueberries, carob and figs. Good price for a wine of this polish.

River Road Vineyards 2006 Scarlett Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley)
- $32
Here’s a nice Pinot with some fancy edges. It’s dry and silky and complex, with cherry, pomegranate, cola, red currant and pepper-anise flavors finished with smoky oak. Easy to like, and gets better as it warms up in the glass.

River Road Vineyards 2008 Sauvignon Blanc (Russian River Valley)
- $16
Zesty in acidity and clean, with vibrant citrus flavors, this is a textbook Sauvignon Blanc from a cool-climate area. It shows flavors of lemons, grapefruits, gooseberries, limes, spices and vanilla. Fancy, at a good price.

River Road Vineyards 2006 Stephanie's Vineyard Pinot Noir (Green Valley)
- $30
Shows lots of lusciousness, with rich raspberry, cherry and cola flavors spiced up with cinnamon, anise and nutmeg. The body is silky, just the way Pinot Noir should be. Probably at its best now and for a year or two.

River Road Vineyards 2001 Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley)
- $14
Simple, delicate and fruity, a jammy style with sweetly ripe flavors of wild raspberries and strawberries, as well as espresso, tobacco and Oriental spices. It’s light and silky on the palate.

River Road Vineyards 2004 Stephanie's Vineyard Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley)

Good Pinot, showing delicacy and elegance, with fine Russian River character. Cherries, cola, rhubarb pie and cinnamon spice flavors are wrapped into a crisp, silky structure that finishes dry and complex.

A near copy of last year’s bottling, River Road’s 2007 is similarly dry and silky. It offers charming flavors of cherries, raspberries, spices and smoky oak, and is meant for early drinking.
