"Unusual, in that not many houses declared 1981 a vintage year. This is a supple, beautiful wine, virtually orange in color, a fact that hints at its earthy, autumnal palate impression. Shows hints of mushroom, clarified butter and demi-glace notes on the nose, with baked apple and earth flavors in the mouth. Mature and sexy; drink now."

"The 2007 Califa Chardonnay boasts a ripe citrus nose with underlying notes of vanilla and toast from aromatic French oak that leads beautifully into a graceful palate of golden pear, pineapple and tangerine zest. Balanced by the refreshing acidity, the lush and creamy mouthfeel lingers with hints of butterscotch and nutmeg."

"The Maris 2006 Syrah Old Vines offers an effusive nose of black cherry and buddleia, a silky, rich palate, and distinct undertones of roasted meat, iodine, and wet stone, leading into an impressively long finish. While this is even riper than the corresponding La Togue, it displays some of the same sense of invigoration and sheer juicy drink-ability, unhindered by its alcohol. I suspect this will be worth following for at least another 3-4 years. "

"The estate’s 2004 Carmione is a blend of 60% Cabernet (Sauvignon and Franc) and 40% Merlot. This rich, sumptuous red is packed with sweet dark fruit supported by plenty of structure. It shut down quickly in the glass and will require some patience, but offers outstanding potential. It is a terrific effort from Pratesi. Anticipated maturity. 2009-2019."

"Bright red. Seductive aromas of black raspberry, cherry compote, smoky herbs and Asian spices. Fleshy red and dark berry flavors are given spine by dusty minerals and complicated by candied rose and cola notes. Suavely blends richness and energy, finishing with echoes of cherry and succulent herbs. Already seductively complex, this has the depth and balance to reward at least another few years of patience."

"The 2006 Grandmère Zinfandel is a dark Mahogany color. The aroma of this wine has scents of vanilla, caramel, holiday spices, blackberry and smoky aromas from the barrel toast. The flavors are deep and rich with layers upon layers of ripe fruit, toasted oak and spice. This wine is always about the best of the best and we are blessed with many Old Vine Zinfandel vineyards from which to choose each component of the final blend. Full flavored, generous and mouth filling are the words that we use to describe this wine."

"Light, bright pink. Energetic aromas of strawberry, raspberry, tangerine and yellow plum. Silky red berry flavors are enlivened by a zesty citrus zest quality and pick up a note of candied flowers with air. Leaves gently sweet pear and red fruit notes behind on the suave, gently smoky finish. I really like this wine's blend of richness and vivacity."

"Deep ruby. Powerful aromas of cherry-cola, vanilla, pungent flowers and spicecake. Broad, palate-staining dark berry and cherry flavors are complemented by sexy vanilla bean and clove qualities, with velvety tannins adding support. Impressively deep and harmonious, with strong finishing sweetness and lingering spiciness. Easily the most impressive wine I've had from this bodega in years."

"The wine is owned by the Smiths, who started La Jota and known for Howell Mountain Cabernet. Judging from the last few bottlings, it’s off to a promising start. Dry, rich and balanced, fruit is the star here, with explosive blackberries and cherries, while 100% new oak adds lush layers of cedar and smoke. Fully enjoyable now, with decanting, it should enjoy a long life for at least 10 years."

"A luscious, balanced and just plain yummy Cab blend. Layered black fruit, cedary oak and vanillin aromas and flavors, teased with caramel, clove and white pepper wow the senses. Fine-grain tannins, a bright acidity and baker’s chocolate notes carry to the finish."

"Foxglove also scores highly with their 10,800-case cuvee of 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon. A blend of all-Paso Robles fruit and composed of 94% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Petiti Verdot and Cabernet Franc, the wine has a dense ruby/purple color and plenty of black fruit intermixed with loamy soil undertones, licorice, and spice. The wine is luscious and. medium to full-bodied , with silky tannins and a heady, opulent finish. Drink it over the next 2-4 years, although it could last a lot longer. These are absolutely spectacular bargains from the very high-quality Varner Winery in the Santa Cruz Mountains. This is their less expensive line-up of wines, and I encourage readers to try them – they are true winners."

"The impressive 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon comes primarily from a hillside vineyard above Lake Hennessy as well as Howell Mountain, Spring Mountain, and a tiny quantity from Mt. Veeder and Oakville. Its deep ruby/purple color is accompanied by a big, sweet bouquet of creme de cassis, spicy new oak, graphite, and licorice. Full-bodied, powerful, and long in the mouth, it will benefit from 1-3 years of bottle age, and last for 12-15 or more years."

"A dark, rich, ripe Syrah that defines the California style, and preserves the fine structure that this cool-climate region lends to red wines. The wine is dry and tannic, and the flavors, of blackberries, cherries, blueberries, dark chocolate and sweet, smoky oak, are just delicious. Now and for a few years. Editors' Choice."

"Everyone loves a wine like this: The aromas are soft, penetrating and remind you of chocolate fudge, spice, spresso and black currants. There’s precision and a careful balance here between softness and power. The tannins are supple and smooth, yet the wine extends deeply throughout the palate."

"Crushed flowers, raspberries and sweet toasted oak waft from the glass as this beautiful wine reveals its feminine personality. The red fruit turns darker on the palate, where leather and spice overtones add further complexity... with well-integrated tannins, notable persistence and commendable balance."

"This blends fruit from Goat Trek Vineyard and the higher elevations at Grist Vineyard on Bradford Mountain, a combination that creates a bright, sunny zin with red fruit and spice. The fresh flavors have a lively red apple and cherry character; the tannins have a red fruit-skin flavor, along with a blast of earthiness. It's delicious and ready to decant for any spicy sausages, whether turkey or morcilla."
