A rich, complex chardonnay with aromas of grilled pineapples, lemon curd, spiced pears, lanolin, crushed stones and salted butter. Grilled hazelnuts and vanilla, too. Full-bodied and buttery, yet long, driven and vibrant. Excellent concentration.

This blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon and 25% Petit Verdot begins with aromas of charred coffee beans, blistered black plums and cherries, with accents of lilac and dried beef. The roasted flavors extend across the palate, bringing together espresso, soy, charred meat and dark fruit. The tannins are polished yet hefty. Matt Kettmann
