91 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The 2007 Pinot Noir Estate is more expressive aromatically. Cinnamon, allspice, rose petal, cherry, and raspberry scents lead to a silky, medium-bodied, feminine Pinot with savory red fruits, excellent concentration, lively acidity, and a lengthy finish. Drink this tasty effort through 2017." 90 points Wine Spectator: "A bit darker and denser than most, this is aromatic with spicy pear notes, hinting at tobacco and cardamom as the pear and melon flavors linger.

Made entirely from organically grown Zinfandel (with a dash of organically grown Petite Sirah) from some super old vines. Rich and fruity in the Amador style that we love, this wine swirls jammy blackberry and cherry fruit with Hershey Kiss chocolate and vanilla notes. The finish is sweet and velvety, making this a good match for grilled meats or roasts.

91 points Robert Parker: "The non-vintage Pleiades XVII is a kitchen sink blend of Carignane, Barbera, Mourvedre, Syrah, Sangiovese, and a touch of Viognier. To quote him, -It is designed to offend the wine police.- Dark ruby-colored, with a vibrant nose of sweet black cherries, incense, spice box, a bit of pepper and earth, the wine is round, generous, savory, and all that a delicious, seductive, bistro/brasserie red wine should be. It cuts a relatively full, fleshy mouthfeel, but it is vibrant and super-pure, with outstanding ripeness and freshness. Dr... Read More »

Seghesio's Rockpile Zin is a double-whammy - it showcases the concentrated fruit that comes from the steep, rocky Rockpile appellation while also waving the flag of a stellar vintage, one winemaker Ted Seghesio calls the best to date. Deep raspberry and black currant aromas are highlighted by scents of clove and spicy black pepper on the nose and mirrored on the wine's palate. And though it's remarkably concentrated, Rockpile's elevation and soil adds minerality and bright acidity that make this a wonderfully balanced and complex Zin. Try with hanger ste... Read More »

The Taz Santa Barbara County Pinot Noir is a best-of-both-worlds wine. It takes two distinct expressions of Santa Barbara County and blends them into a balanced wine with plenty of nuance. The first component of the blend comes from Taz's North Canyon Vineyard in the Santa Maria Valley. This vineyard lies at the northern edge of Santa Barbara, butting up to the San Luis Obispo County line. The Pinot Noir from North Canyon is soft and silky with delicate floral notes and red fruit character. These elegant lots are complemented by grapes from Fiddlestix Vi... Read More »

Balance, elegance, intensity, complexity, this has everything we always hope to find in a Viognier but rarely do. The vineyards are nested among the rolling hills in the breezy Napa-Carneros region.

For fans of Syrah's intensity, but also of subtle nuance and elegance. This isn't your usual in-your-face CA Syrah, but something like liquid chantilly lac to pair with dinner. According to Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar: "Deep red. Red and dark berry aromas are brightened by cracked pepper and black tea. Light-bodied red raspberry and cherry flavors are pleasantly bitter, with good back-end snap. I'm not sure that I'd guess this to be syrah (there's a pinot-like delicacy to it) but it's pleasantly clean and brisk." (Nov/Dec '08)

Hall combines fruit from a variety of Napa Valley estate vineyards to create their Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. The 2005 vintage of this wine really showcases the vintage, which was very long, exemplified by the broad tannins and forward fruit from start to finish.

This is a big wine that needs some decanting now and one that will mature nicely in your cellar over the next decade.
