TASTING HIGHLIGHTS: CALIFORNIA PINOT NOIR: James Laube- More great wines as vintages shift gears.From the elegant 2005 and the rich 2004 vintages come nearly two dozen remarkable wines.

A DISCOVERY ON THE SONOMA COAST: James Laube- Fort Ross Vineyard has found a groove. It's a relatively new brand of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir that wine lovers should pay serious attention to.

CHARDONNAY 2004 Fort Ross Vineyard, Sonoma Coast
Best New Chardonnay, Best 18 Bottles, Ray Isles.
A string of tiny vineyard parcels only a mile from the ocean- and anywhere from 1,200- 1,700 feet above it- produced this vivid white. Its intense pear fruit gains complexity from hints of hazelnut and smoky lees.
