Signaterra Benziger 2007 San Remo Vineyard Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley)
- $49
Silky, racy and dry, which is just what you want in a nice Pinot. It offers flamboyant flavors of cherries, red currants, root beer, bacon, sandalwood and peppery spices, with a hint of mocha. Great now, and could develop over the next 4–5 years.

There’s much that is beautiful about this ambitious Pinot Noir. This ’06 is soft and dry and complex in red cherries, red currants, cola and spice flavors, lushly accented with oak. It just wants structure.

Signaterra Benziger 2008 Sangiacomo Vineyard West Rows Chardonnay (Carneros)
- $32
It’s all in your face in this modern-style Chardonnay. Vastly ripe pineapple jam and tangerine flavors, enhanced with sweet vanilla oak and creamy lees, flood the mouth, making the wine superrich, although it’s bright in citrusy acidity. Ready to drink now.

Signaterra Benziger 2007 Shone Farm Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc (Russian River Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $27
This is an eccentric wine that some will love and some will hate. It has lots of Marlborough-type gooseberries and juniper berry, but also California-style ripe pineapple juice and spearmint candy flavors. The best part is the juicy, mouth-tingling acidity.

Signaterra Benziger 2006 Three Blocks Red (Sonoma Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $49
Ripe and appealing, with flavors of blackberries, cherries, red plums, pomegranates and mulberries. But not just a fruit stand. Rich tannins and oak influences add interest.
