A little soft and dull. Dry and silky, it features raspberry and cola flavors.

It’s a fine wine, full-bodied and dry, with spicy flavors of currants, teriyaki beef, black pepper and cola, with a bracing minerality that grounds the richness. Could be more concentrated, but it’s a great value.

The wine is dry, soft, elegant and lovely, with full-bodied black cherry, currant, red licorice and cola flavors. It certainly is one of the best Syrahs you can buy at this price.

Some producer in Carneros didn’t want the wine that went into this negociant’s ‘07 Syrah, to judge by its quality. Lucky for Cameron Hughes. It’s a fine wine, full-bodied and dry, with spicy flavors of currants, teriaki beef, black pepper and cola, with a bracing minerality that grounds the richness. Could be more concentrated, but it's a very great value.

This soft, elegant wine is slightly herbaceous, with green olive and sage flavors alongside the riper blackberries. It’s totally dry, and the tannins are very finely ground, giving it a pliant, gentle mouthfeel. Drink now.

Boasting typical passion fruit and herb aromas in a light- to medium-bodied format, this is a decent value in low-end Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. Crisp and herbal on the finish.

Good price for a Cab from a great appellation that’s got a few years of cellar time on it. The wine is softly complex, with delicious herb-infused currant, cocoa and cedar flavors. Best now through 2010.

Shows real upscale character in a Cabernet from a négociant with a proven ability to deliver. With rich, firm tannins and classic balance, its flavors range from ripe crushed blackberries and currants to herbs, tobacco, olive tapenade, dark chocolate and smoky oak.

Has a bit of an ashy aroma and minty taste, but is dry and tannicly balanced, with decent berry-cherry flavors. Good everyday red with some fanciness.

Tasted alongside far more expensive Napa Cabs, this one held its own proudly. It shows impressive blackberry, currant and mint flavors, with a smoky, ashy overlay of oak. The firm tannins suggest modest ageability. Drink this dry, balanced Cab now through 2010.
