2009 V. Sattui Winery Gilsson Vineyard Zinfandel, Russian River Valley, CA, $37 (S) – Rating 91

Sometimes yummy is the right descriptor and this Zin is yummy. A rich nose of cherry and strawberry jam is the first act followed by jammy flavors of blackberry, dark cherry and baking spice. Notes of espresso and soft tannins add a delicious finishing touch. Buy This Wine

2011 Paul Dolan Vineyards Sauvignon Blanc, Potter Valley, Mendocino, CA, $18 (S) – Rating 88

From organically grown grapes this 100% stainless steel Sauvignon Blanc comes alive with a nose of Meyer lemon creme pie. Crisp flavors are highlighted by kiwi fruit along with Meyer lemon and tropicals. Zippy acidity as you’d expect from stainless steel fermentation with a long Meyer lemon finish. A good value under $20. Buy This Wine

Expressive aromas of cheery pie and rich smoke are enticing. The palate offers up flavors of blackberry, dark cherry and plum with hints of cedar, espresso and caramel. Give it a bit of time in the decanter to open up and fully appreciate the balanced tannins and acidity. Buy This Wine
