Sapphire Hill 1997 Chardonnay (Russian River Valley)
- $20
First-ever wine from this promising new winery. Has green-apple and peach aromas, with smoky-buttery notes and a touch of doughy lees. Opulent and rich in the mouth, with plenty of fruit and herbal flavors. Long, spicy finish.

Sapphire Hill 2000 Winberrie Old Vine Zinfandel (Russian River Valley)
- $30
An herbal, not to say earthy, wine with sage and oregano aromas and flavors. Dry and supple, it’s softened by a hint of cherry cola in the finish, and will wake up with rich barbecue. —S.H.

Sapphire Hill 2004 Sapphire Hill Vineyard Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley)
- $38
Made in a very ripe, forward style, with cherry jam, chocolate pudding and smoky oak flavorings. This straightforward Pinot flatters with its juicy opulence.

Sapphire Hill 1998 Chardonnay (Russian River Valley)
- $22
Dig deeply into the sweet nose and you get both ponderous and unwanted fruit cocktail but also nicer cinnamon and cloves. Some almonds and herbs to the mouth and finish, and even some Pinot Grigio-style lightness that some may read as insipid.
