Robert Stemmler 2008 Estate Grown Chardonnay (Carneros)
- $34
Made solidly in the California style of ripe fruit and plenty of oak. Shows luscious pineapple tart, pear jam and buttered toast flavors, but balanced with firm acidity and a stony minerality.

Robert Stemmler 2006 Estate Grown Pinot Noir (Carneros)
- $36
The most successful of Stemmler’s ‘06 Pinots, this beauty shows the silky texture and crisp acidity of cool-climate Carneros. It offers immediately pleasurable flavors of cherries, raspberries, pomegranates, cola, cinnamon spice and sandalwood.

Robert Stemmler 2008 Estate Grown Pinot Noir (Carneros)
- $36
A pleasant, complex and highly likeable Pinot Noir for drinking now. It’s made in a lighter style, with a silky mouthfeel framing cherry and raspberry Lifesaver candy flavors. The acidity is especially nice, giving the wine a bracing feel.

Robert Stemmler 2002 Estate Grown Pinot Noir (Carneros)
- $32
Dry, medium-bodied and crisp, this wine has anearthiness to the cola, rhubarb, coffee, herb and cherry flavors. It’s a stylish wine of elegance and finesse, and will perform its basic Pinot duties dependably.

Robert Stemmler 2004 Estate Grown Pinot Noir (Carneros)
- $36
Soft, simple and gentle, with sugary cherry pie and cola flavors. The silky texture and light mouthfeel are wonderful, but the wine would be far better if it finished drier and crisper.

Robert Stemmler 2004 Estate Grown Chardonnay (Carneros)
- $34
Earthy and minerally, an austere Chard by today’s standards, with a thyme and tobacco edge to the modest peach fruit. My bias is for either impossibly rich, oaky Chards or sleek, fruity, unoaked ones. This falls between those goal posts.

Robert Stemmler 2003 Estate Grown Chardonnay (Carneros)
- $34
Co-released with the ’04, but the wine is tired. It’s already showing old flavors, with an earthy, herbal undertow.

Robert Stemmler 2006 Estate Grown Chardonnay (Carneros)
- Online Exclusive
- $34
A little dark, heavy and sweet, not to mention prematurely old. The pineapple fruit is aging already, and there’s a vegetal edge.
