A pleasant, light-bodied wine with a silky texture that could almost be a rosé. Give it a few minutes in the fridge to let it chill so the acids and tannins can properly frame the raspberry, cherry and spice flavors.

A very drinkable Carignane made from 40–90 year old certified organic vines grown in Mendocino, punched down by hand and given the gold-glove treatment. The result is juicy and delicious, full-bodied yet somehow light on its feet, a little blueberry here, a little spice there.

Shows the acidity and minerality that mark fine Dry Creek Sauvignon Blanc. The flavors are rich, suggesting lemons, limes, pineapples and vanilla cream. Could be drier, as it finishes with a honeyed sweetness.

A simple rosé, dry, dark and heavy, with thin cherry-berry flavors.

Beautiful. Grown in the cool Anderson Valley, this wine was barrel-fermented in older oak, which adds creamy vanilla notes to the intensely ripe citrus fruits, pears and honeysuckle. High acidity makes it all so clean and zesty.

A lovely, miniscule-production Mendocino Grenache, made from certified-organic grapes grown on the old vines of Testa Vineyard, some of the oldest organic vines in the North Coast. The result is a surprisingly bright, lively, fine-drinking Grenache, just as it should be, with lots of juicy cranberry and red fruit on the palate and the bones to age. A tiny bit tight when first opened, it opens up quickly and deliciously.

Made from organic grapes, Horse & Plow’s Pinot Gris is earthy and austere, with finely honed acidity and lovely hints of apricot. Very balanced, dry, a tremendous version of this white wine.

Horse & Plow sourced organic grapes to craft this excellent Chardonnay, giving it the luxe treatment—handpicked, whole-cluster pressed, French oak barrel fermentation and aging nine months sur lee—and it shows. The wine is pretty, with a tropical bouquet that gives way to just enough oak-driven vanilla. Will age nicely but is also ready to drink now.

Good, dry and crisp, if a little simple, with apricot, citrus and vanilla flavors. There’s a touch of green unripeness that detracts, but it’s a pretty nice wine.

Winemaker Chris Condos appears to have the magic touch when it comes to coaxing great wines out of organic grapes in Mendocino County and this blend of Carignan Petite Sirah, Charbono, Zinfandel and Grenache is pure testament to that, a bargain bottling full of lavender and plum that presents a magical balance between flavor and grip.
