If you’re sensitive to cat pee, go elsewhere, because this wine reeks of it. That’s not all, of course. There’s citrus, gooseberry, date nut, white pepper and zingy, zangy acidity.

Superripe and jammy in cherry pie filling, raspberry, chocolate, blackberry and lots of oak, this wine has a little bite of raisins in the finish. Drink now–2009.

Soft, fleshy and opulent, with delicious cherry preserve flavors and a sprinkle of dusty cocoa and cinnamon. Feels elegant and upscale in the mouth.

This wine is very fresh at three-plus years. It’s lightly structured, with an elegant, silky mouthfeel and flavors of cola, red cherries, peppery spices and oak. Don’t be surprised if it shows modest improvement with four or five years in the bottle.

Rich, thick and jammy sweet, this Cab tasted a bit juvenile in the winter of 2009. With blackberry and cherry pie filling, chocolate, licorice and pepper flavors, it might develop harmony over the next six years.

This is a nice Merlot with polished Napa structure. It’s dry and rich in smooth tannins, with supple flavors of blackberries, red currants and spice. Drink now and for the next few years.

Unusual for a winery to hold back a Pinot this long, but consumers are the beneficiaries. The tannins have melted, and the wine is utterly soft and silky. The flavors of raspberry cream, cherry pie filling, chocolate and pepper are deliciously decadent. Drink now through 2010.

Carrefour’s Sauvignon Blanc has nearly doubled in price over the last year, but the ’06 isn’t any better than the 2005. Like it, it has catty aromas and flavors, with hints of citrus, as well as zingy acidity.

Here’s a nice Merlot that’s drinking well now. It has soft, fine tannins and a crisp spine of acidity, while the flavors run to ripe blackberries, coffee, cocoa and smoky leather.
