The 2008 Pinot Noir Fiddlestix is another of the juicier, more expressive Pinots in this line up. There is a generosity and depth to the Fiddlestix that is a bit elusive in some of the other 2008 Pinots. Dark cherries, plums, cola and spices wrap around the juicy finish. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2016. The Chardonnays and Pinots are the highlights among these new releases from Bonaccorsi Wine Company. I was less enamored with the 2007 Syrahs I tasted. The Pinots are vinified with indigenous yeasts and spend 18 months in French oak barrels, 60% new for all wines except the Melville, which gets 70%.Tel. (310) 994-3207; www.bonawine.net

9 Amazingly Burgundian in style, showing intense black cherry, mushroom, truffle, tea and earthy notes. Dry, rich and complex in tannins, with a strong but balanced integration of new wood. Feels authoritative and firm in the mouth, with great weight yet an airy lightness. Drink now–2014.——S.H.(10/1/2011)—— 95
