Vision Cellars 2006 Garys' Vineyard Pinot Noir (Santa Lucia Highlands)
- $48
This is a big, voluptuous Pinot, solidly in the Garys’ style, but it possesses a delicate silkiness despite the size. In its extreme youth, the wine is all primary fruit and oak, with flavors of cherries, black raspberries, red licorice, cola and smoky vanilla. It feels broad and obvious, in the way of a young wine.

Vision Cellars 2006 Riesling (Santa Lucia Highlands)
- Editors' Choice
- $18
When California Riesling succeeds, it’s because of wines like this, which hails from a well-farmed, cool-climate region. The two most important varietal elements, racy acidity and subtle flavor, both are here.

- $42
The acidity is high in this vibrant Pinot Noir, giving it a tart, bracing mouthfeel. Then there’s the fruit, suggesting mashed red cherries with the skins, anise, cola and black pepper. It’s an interesting wine from a cool-climate region whose potential is just beginning to be explored.

Vision Cellars 2006 Blanc Gris White (California)
- $18
Two of the crispest and most savory white varieties in California are Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Gris/Grigio, and this blend of both shows the best qualities of each. It’s just slightly off-dry and vibrant in citrus, fig, melon and vanilla flavors, with beautiful acidity.

- $18
A blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Gris, this wine is made in a fresh, approachable style. It’s a little sweet in candied citrus, fig and vanilla flavors, but balanced with rich acidity.
