Suacci Carciere Wines 2008 Heintz Vineyard Chardonnay (Russian River Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $45
Another beautiful Chardonnay from this fine vineyard and winery. The wine is drier than past vintages, but rich in acidity and minerals, with a complex array of pineapple, lime and Meyer lemon citrus flavor. Fermenting half the wine in stainless steel and the balance in oak, a third of which was new, seems to be the perfect approach.

Suacci Carciere Wines 2006 Suacci Vineyard Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley)
- $48
This is a new brand and a very good introductory Pinot Noir. In its light, silky mouthfeel and deep, complex flavors, it showcases its Russian River origins in a classic way. Offers up brilliantly ripe flavors of red currants, licorice, cola, gingerbread, mocha and spices, wrapped into a dry, balanced structure. Best now for its youthful charm.

Suacci Carciere Wines 2007 Heintz Vineyard Chardonnay (Russian River Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $45
Comes down on the opposite side of the spectrum from the opulent 2006, a bone-dry, acidic young Chardonnay marked more by minerals than fruit. With citrus, papaya and floral notes and a tang of cold steel, it has a leesy yeastiness that adds complex interest. Compelling, and possibly ageworthy.

Suacci Carciere Wines 2006 Heintz Vineyard Chardonnay (Russian River Valley)
- $45
This is a fancy Chardonnay. It impresses for the ripe tropical fruit and citrus flavors that are generously oaked, and for the crisp coastal acidity that provides balance. The overall impression is of pineapple-infused crème brûlée. Drink now.

Suacci Carciere Wines 2009 Suacci Vineyard Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley)
- $45
The light, silky mouthfeel bears bright, citrusy acidity. It’s dry and elegant, like Pinot should be. The flavors are rich and forward in raspberries, cherries and spices. It’s a pretty Pinot Noir for drinking now.

Suacci Carciere Wines 2010 Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley)
- $29
This is opulent, dry and full bodied, with a rich network of tannins framing ripe flavors of cherries, red currants and sandalwood. Subtle trace notes of greenness suggest it’s not an ager; drink now.

Suacci Carciere Wines 2007 Suacci Vineyard Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $48
After the appealing 2006 release, the ’07 is considerably drier and more tannic. It offers flavors of cherries, black raspberries, pomegranates, cola and cedar, but finishes rather tight, with a sharp bite. Give it a good decanting. Now–2012.

Suacci Carciere Wines 2009 Heintz Vineyard Chardonnay (Russian River Valley)
- $42
Strong and eccentric, this tastes like the grapes from this fine vineyard had a hit of botrytis. But it’s not sweet; the end result is dry, with apricot and honey flavors.
