An atypically oaky wine for Siduri, with a rich veneer of French oak overlying black cherries, cola and spice. The intensity builds on the palate, where root beer and black cherries culminate in a lo…
This is made in the smooth, oaky and rich style of the modern cult Cabernet. It offers lots of ripe, jammy blackberries, plus notes of sweet, intense black and red currants, dark chocolate tart, blac…
This bone-dry, full-bodied Syrah has firm tannins and intense concentration. It's a little warm in alcohol, with flavors of dark chocolate, blackberry jam, cassis liqueur, grilled bacon and black pep…
This barrel-fermented Chardonnay seemingly tastes as sweet as a dessert, although it's technically dry. With its pineapple and tangerine tart, crême brulée and Key lime pie flavors, Chardonnay doesn'…
This has Cabernet Sauvignon-driven flavors of ripe summer blackberries, black currants, cassis liqueur and smoky oak. It's dry with smooth tannins, and it shows lots of class. With 8,000 cases produc…
This Syrah contains some Cabernet Sauvignon, which gives it a solid edge of hard tannins. It's finely constructed and complex, with ripe, elaborate blackberry, black currant, grilled meat, pepper and…
This is an elegant Pinot Noir, aromatic in cherry and raspberry with juicy acidity and a memorable finish, understated in alcohol and too-ripe flavors. Earthy, enjoy it with lamb or pork smothered in…
This is one of Freeman's basic 2011 Pinots, along with their Russian River Valley bottling, and a very good wine it is. Made from a variety of vineyards in the big Sonoma Coast appellation, the wine…
A very interesting wine, this is bone dry, complex and smoothly tannic. The cherry, blueberry and red licorice flavors mingle with charred meat and oak notes that change constantly in the glass. Temp…
A very fine Cab, complex and interesting in every way. Nearing five years of age, it's right at that point where the primary fruit character is changing into notes of funky leather. The tannins are A…
This Cabernet is enormously extracted in blackberries and cassis, and oaky, too, while the tannins are rich, hard and refined. It's a flashy wine. Drink now–2018.
Tight, tannic and bone dry, this ultralow production wine comes from the small, somewhat obscure Sonoma Mountain appellation. It aims high, with the Northern Rhône the model. The blackberry and black…
This is a big, voluptuous Pinot, solidly in the Garys' style, but it possesses a delicate silkiness despite the size. In its extreme youth, the wine is all primary fruit and oak, with flavors of cher…
The winery's basic Cab, with no vineyard designation, shares the qualities of the more expensive bottlings. It's dry and tannic and ultraconcentrated in varietal character, with explosive cassis, che…
Some years Calina makes Bravura and in others it doesn't. This is the best we've tried; it shows asphalt, black olive and tobacco aromas in addition to cassis, blackberry and cola flavors. Ripe, fair…
Made in the Sleepy Hollow style, extraordinarily ripe, almost botrytized in apricot and honey flavors like a dessert wine, except that it's bone dry. Really epitomizes this vineyard and corner of Mon…

A light imprint marks this high-toned wine, expressive in crisp green apple, citrus and stone. Fresh in lemony acidity, it builds up to a medium body in the glass, offering impressive complexity and…
This beautifully balanced, flavorful wine combines vivid watermelon and canteloupe flavors with medium body, a rich texture and lingering finish. It has great concentration without being heavy.
This is a hearty version of the variety for this producer, known for its oft-lighter approach. It reveals skill as well, the grapes from another prime site overseen by brand partner Bill Price. A fer…
There's a lot to admire in this producer's entry-level wine in terms of price and complexity, a blend of 71% Cabernet Sauvignon with 25% Merlot and 1% each of Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, Malbec and…
Right Bank employs 72% Cabernet Franc to make a statement, accenting it with 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Malbec, 3% Merlot and 1% Petit Verdot. Herbal and pretty, this full-bodied wine remains tight i…

Bright and showy aromas of olallieberry, packed lilacs and smoked meats make for a very inviting, hearty nose on this bottling. The oak smoke powers the palate, adding savoriness to the plum, cherry…
