Stoller 2007 Cathy's Reserve Pinot Noir (Dundee Hills)
- Online Exclusive
- $100
Just two barrels were selected for this ultrareserve. Though 2007 was a light and difficult vintage, the winemaking is spot on. An elegant, textural mix of berry, cola and sweet spice, with a pretty floral character, showcase a nuanced wine that captures the elegance of Pinot Noir perfectly.

Stoller 2009 SV Estate Chardonnay (Dundee Hills)
- Editors' Choice
- $28
Lush and aromatic, with ripe pear and melon fruit, sweet spices and a streak of vanilla. The 20% new oak seems just right, and the flavors persist through a seductively long finish.

Stoller 2008 JV Estate Pinot Noir (Dundee Hills)
- Editors' Choice
- Online Exclusive
- $25
Young and spicy, with deeply-etched cranberry fruit flavors, limned with leafy herbal tannins. The core of fruit is pretty as can be, and the nicely-managed tannins wrap it in a perfect frame, while giving it added muscle. Another two or three years in the bottle will really bring this into focus.

Stoller 2007 SV Estate Pinot Noir (Dundee Hills)
- Online Exclusive
- $40
A real success in a challenging vintage, this is a meaty, flavorful, well-built Pinot Noir. The fruit is a mix of berries, especially strawberry, with accents of peach, cola, earth, sassafras and cinnamon. The wine keeps on going; it doesn’t wimp out or turn bitter. It’s interesting now, but should develop even more flavor with some years of cellaring.

Stoller 2006 SV Estate Pinot Noir (Dundee Hills)
- $40
This wine offers some meaty fruit flavors that gather round the midpalate and hold there; a big bundle of berries, cherries and plums, annotated with cinnamon and spice. There’s even a hint of mint, and the slightest suggestion of fresh cilantro; the only off-note is a little gluey flavor in the finish.

Stoller 2007 JV Estate Pinot Noir (Dundee Hills)
- Online Exclusive
- $25
This is a standout in this price range. The well-defined cherry/cranberry fruit is wrapped in fresh rosemary and tarragon spices; the tannins are polished and there is an intriguing scent of pine forest that permeates the finishing flavors also. Such complexity is not always found in wines twice as expensive.

Stoller 2007 SV Estate Chardonnay (Dundee Hills)
- Online Exclusive
- $28
From Dijon clones, this sculpted, tight, compact Chardonnay feels as if it is shut in a cocoon. Give it time (and decanting) to unwrap, and it shows elegant tropical and stone fruits, caramel, vanilla cream and butter flavors, backed with moderate acids.

Stoller 2005 Cathy’s Reserve Pinot Noir (Dundee Hills)
- Online Exclusive
- $100
A late release, very limited-production reserve, this still carries a youthful bite and shows a strong pine and herb component. It’s solid and full, but a bit blocky, and fades rather quickly.
