Whitcraft 2000 French Camp Vineyard Lagrein (San Luis Obispo County)
- Editors' Choice
- $20
Wins the darkest wine of the decade award. Absolutely black, except for a gleam of purple at the edge. Smells big, deep and oaky, with berry and chocolate scents. In the mouth, similar to Cabernet, with blackberry flavors and rich, thick tannins. Interesting as an alternative-type wine, and an ager. An ancient grape from the north of Italy and Austria

Whitcraft 2006 Melville Vineyard Pinot Noir (Sta. Rita Hills)
- Online Exclusive
- $45
Pale, dry, delicate and tea-like, with flavors of strawberries, raspberries, rose petal, orange zest, anise and cinnamon. Light-bodied, but very polished and refined.

Whitcraft 2004 Bien Nacido Vineyard Barrel Select Chardonnay (Santa Maria Valley)
This is a bizarre wine. The alcohol is extremely high, and the fruit is enormously ripe, to the point of bananas. The wine will have its fans, but to me it’s Chardonnay-Port, over-manipulated and over-stylized. Tasted twice.
