Thumbprint Cellars 2002 Schneider Vineyard Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley)
- Editors' Choice
- $36
Light in color, but robust, this Pinot has pure aromas that invite you right in. Rhubarb, red cherry, cola, tangerine zest and peppery spice flavors come together in a silky-smooth wine that’s rich in sweet, toasty oak. Very fine.

Thumbprint Cellars 2002 Threesome Red (Alexander Valley)
- Editors' Choice
- $35
You’d think this Cab Franc, Cab Sauvignon and Syrah blend would be full bodied, but it’s really quite racy and elegant. It impresses for its airy, transparent quality, and the purity of the plum, coffee, spicebox, cocoa and grilled meat flavors. The tannins are smooth and subtle.

Thumbprint Cellars 2002 Schneider Vineyard Merlot (Dry Creek Valley)
- $30
Forward and inviting aromas of violets, black cherries, vanilla and charred oak are complexed with roasted meat and grilled wild mushroom notes, in this smoothly textured, complex Merlot. It’s gentle in tannins and well acidified, with a seasoned finish of currants.

Thumbprint Cellars 2002 Schneider Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon (Alexander Valley)
- $35
Starts off oaky and strong in char and toasty vanilla, and while the wood overpowers the underlying wine, which is quite delicate, it adds a sweet touch to this otherwise earthy, soft, cherry-tinged Cab.

Thumbprint Cellars 2001 C. Teldeschi Vineyard Zinfandel (Dry Creek Valley)
- $30
Dark-textured, the wine offers a spicy edge that frames a blend of bright cherry, berry, coffee, chocolate, tea and herb flavors. Tannins are moderate to firm and the finish is a little powdery.
— W.E.
