Tuck Beckstoffer 2007 Mockingbird Green Label Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
- Cellar Selection
- $170
Very rich, concentrated and intense, almost jammy, showing the essence of ripe blackberry and cherry fruit nectar. Oak shows up as rich, smoky char. With firm tannins and a long, sweet, fruity finish, this Cabernet should age well. Too young and tight now, so give it until at least 2014.

Tuck Beckstoffer 2009 Ellenboch Vineyard Semper Pinot Noir (Sonoma Coast)
- Online Exclusive
- $85
This is a very big, rich, dense Pinot Noir, and some will fault it for having the high alcohol and full body that are characteristic of Cabernet. Nonetheless, this is immensely complex and dramatic, offering wave after wave of concentrated black cherry and red currant, with notes of bacon and sweet oak. Gets better and more attractive as it warms in the glass…

Tuck Beckstoffer 2009 Gold Ridge Vineyard Semper Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $85
If the first duty of a wine is to be delicious, this Pinot more than lives up to the obligation. It doesn’t show the delicacy or silkiness of a classic Russian River Pinot Noir, being a little heavy and full-bodied.

Tuck Beckstoffer 2010 Pinot Noir (Sonoma Coast)
- Online Exclusive
- $85
A very delicious Pinot Noir, this has tremendous waves of cherry compote, red licorice, sweet pomegranate, cocoa and smoky sandalwood flavors. It’s a great representative of the 2010 vintage.

Tuck Beckstoffer 2010 Semper Ulises Chardonnay (Sonoma Coast)
- $65
Strong in citrus and tropical fruit flavors, powerful in oak, with a blast of acidity, this is an ambitious Chardonnay, but it’s a bit aggressive. It may calm down in a year or two. Meanwhile, decant it and enjoy with lobster or scallop dishes.

Tuck Beckstoffer 2009 Silver Eagle Vineyard Semper Pinot Noir (Sonoma Coast)
- Online Exclusive
- $85
The oak is a little too strong on this Pinot. Impressive as the underlying wine is in concentrated raspberry and cherry flavors, the barrel influence is dominant, with sweet buttered toast and caramel. Drink it now, after a brief decanting.

Tuck Beckstoffer 2007 Vinifera Sauvignon Blanc (Napa Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $35
Smells a little vegetal, and tastes simple and sweet, like sugared water, with a squirt of citrus juice.
