Chardonnay Carneros El Novillero Vineyard 2007
93 points | $50 | 600 Cases | White
Exhibits a distinctive smoky, hazelnut character intertwined with notes of orange marmalade/nectarine. The wine displays great ripeness, medium to full body, and beautiful acidity. It is a dead-ringer for a top-class premier cru Meursault. Consume it over the next 4-5 years

Neyers
Syrah Sonoma Coast
Old Lakeville Road 2006
93 | $30
The Neyers family produced its first wines in 1992, and highly regarded winemaker Ehren Jordan is a partner and consultant. The grapes come from a vineyard owned by the Sangiacomo family that is located on a steep, south-facing slope in the Petaluma Gap area of Sonoma Coast. The vine cuttings for much of the 12 acres are said to have come from some reputable addresses, such as Côte-Rôtie, Cornas and Hermitage, hence the wine's beefy, peppery personality. 1,155 cases made.

Offers wonderful focus and purity of flavor. Intense and concentrated, with gorgeous, pure, ripe blackberry, boysenberry and huckleberry fruit that unfolds to offer hints of pepper, nutmeg and other exotic spices. Deliciously full-bodied. Drink now through 2016.—J.L.
