Wolff 2004 Estate Grown Petite Sirah (Edna Valley)
- Cellar Selection
- $19
Petite Sirah seems a curious choice to grow in one of the coolest AVAs in California. This wine is bone dry and tannicly acidic, with a deeply attractive, ripe juiciness that’s like the essence of black currants and chocolate-coated cherries. The wine is very young, but so beautifully balanced. Good now with big rich meats, but should hold and improve through this…

Wolff 2002 Old Vines Chardonnay (Edna Valley)
- $19
Balanced and harmonious, and has extra clarity due to its lovely acidity. There’s an array of fruity flavor ranging from ripe green apples to candied grapefruit and mango, while oak adds vanilla and toast. Finishes long and spicy.

Wolff 2001 Old Vines Chardonnay (Edna Valley)
- Editors' Choice
- $19
Lots of big, ripe fruity flavors in this dense wine, including peaches, pears and tropical fruits. Lees and oak are poured on lavishly, adding style and flair.

Wolff 2004 Old Vines Chardonnay (Edna Valley)
- $19
Fans of acidity will like this wine for its bright crispness that really gets the tastebuds whistling. It’s a very dry, streamlined wine, with citrus zest and vanilla flavors that will play well off a nice cracked crab and sourdough baguette.

Wolff 2003 Estate Dijon Clones Selection Pinot Noir (Edna Valley)
- $25
Edna Valley makes coastal California’s most delicate and crisp Pinot Noirs. They tend to be food-friendly, as is this wine. Dry and elegantly silky, with high acidity and modest but complex cherry and cola flavors that will enhance, rather than dominate, your best entrées.

Wolff 2001 Syrah (Edna Valley)
- $18
88 Wolff 2001 Syrah (Edna Valley); $18. A wine that takes the Northern Rhone as a model, it does share that peppery, plum and blackberry flavors, rich tannins, and full-bodied character. Has a certain one-dimensionality, but not without interest. A wine and winery to watch.

Wolff 2005 Estate Old Vines Chardonnay (Edna Valley)
- $19
Very dry and acidic, this elegant Chard has a tangy minerality that undergirds the lime, kiwi and mango flavors. It’s a bone-dry wine, perfect for roasted salmon, chicken or pork with a tropical fruit, green onion and cilantro salsa topping.

Wolff 2003 Old Vines Chardonnay (Edna Valley)
- $19
I’m always struck by Edna Valley acids, and so it is with this tart, tightly wound Chardonnay. It’s got pretty peach and apple flavors, with a stoniness that must come from the terroir. It’s also very dry.
