You can really taste that cool-climate Anderson Valley acidity. There’s also a minerality to the citrus and sweet oak flavors. Finishes a little austere, but elegant. Drink now.

Kind of simple and sweet, like oaky apple and pear juice. Needs greater dryness and complexity.

Crisp and a little sweet, almost off-dry, this has jammy pineapple, peach, apricot and vanilla flavors. The sweetness will nicely balance the spicy heat of Vietnamese fare.

Shows the perfect balance and varietal richness that Anderson Valley Gewürztraminers are known for. With crisp acidity, it has exotic flavors of Asian pears, candied pears, tangerines, gingersnap cookies and dusty spices, with a dry finish. Would score much higher if it were more concentrated.

With crisp acidity, a bright, creamy texture and rich flavors of lemons, limes, tangerines, peaches, pears and honeysuckle, this is a delightful white wine. Dry, yet with a sweet, spicy finish it’s perfect as a cocktail sipper.

Good price for a dry, crisp and tasty Sauvignon Blanc that will nicely wash down a wide variety of foods. It’s clean and savory, with lemon, lime, pineapple, vanilla and spice flavors.

This is a very nice, dry and versatile red wine to drink with everything from steak and pork to tacos and skewered chicken or beef with peanut sauce. It’s rich in cherries, blackberries, mocha and peppery spices, and fully dry, with smooth tannins. Drink now.

With searing acidity and minerally citrus flavors, this bone-dry Sauvignon is a great cocktail sipper with hors d’oeuvres like potstickers or crudité.

Here’s a pretty Pinot that captures the balanced terroir of Anderson Valley. It’s not a big, ageworthy wine, more of a village-type, but elegant and savory in cherry, cola and spice flavors. The crispness makes it an exceptionally food-friendly red wine.

With spicy orange, pineapple, candied ginger and honeysuckle flower flavors, this is a tasty Gewürz. It’s not officially sweet, but so soft in acidity that the slight residual sugar is magnified, making it taste almost off-dry.
