Byron
Santa Maria Valley Chardonnay 2011 . . . . . 17.99
The winery sells this for $27. Our price on this gorgeous Chard looks to be the lowest in the country!
91/100 - Our score.
For the second vintage in a row, Byron's premium Santa Maria Valley bottling is stunning. It presents the best of both the old and new schools of California Chardonnay. You'll find deliciously irresistible flavors of butterscotch, vanilla, toasty oak and ripe tropical fruits along with vibrant freshness and very well-balanced acidity. This combination is VERY difficult to pull off and we believe that no one is doing it as well as Byron, at least not at this price. (California)

"Cuvée Alyce"
Russian River Valley Chardonnay 2010 . . . . . 37.99
94/100 - Wine Advocate. "The 2010 Chardonnay Cuvee Alyce is wonderfully alive. Passion fruit, butter, pastry, smoke and almonds burst from the glass in this voluptuous, beautifully layered Chardonnay. All the elements are in perfect balance. This is a great example of luscious Russian River Chardonnay at its best. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2018." (California)

Wonderwall
Central Coast Pinot Noir 2012 . . . . . 15.79
90+/100 - Our score.
We tasted this Pinot Noir a mere two weeks after bottling and it was already showing a beautifully well-fruited nose along with a wonderfully refined palate with bright flavors of strawberry and spiced berry. Andrew Jones sourced the fruit for this 400 case cuvee from Santa Maria Valley’s Agro-Jalisco Vineyard and Edna Valley’s Spanish Springs Vineyard. Hands down it is the most fantastic Pinot Noir you will find for $15.79 a bottle. Kudos to Andrew. This is a wine to load up on! (California)

Melville
Santa Rita Hills Estate Pinot Noir 2010 . . . . . 27.99
This, folks, is the real deal. A rich, well-crafted and perfectly compelling Pinot...
91+/100 - Our score.
92/100 - Wine Spectator.
91/100 - International Wine Cellar.
91/100 - Wine Advocate. "Melville's 2010 Pinot Noir Estate presents an intriguing fabric of sweet candied cherries, rose petals, mint and sweet herbs. This is an especially juicy, yet medium-bodied Pinot built on finesse and elegance. The 2010 is simply gorgeous. Greg Brewer used approximately 33% whole clusters here. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2016." (California)
