Shows the zesty dryness you want in a Sauvignon Blanc, at a good price. Backed up with crisp acidity, the wine brims with clean flavors of limes, grapefruits, Meyer lemons, minerals and peppery spices.

A little on the simple, green-grass side, with lemon and lime flavors that are slightly sweet. Fortunately, there’s a good bite of acidity and a clean, spicy finish.

A nice glass of Cab for $13. It’s bone dry, with a scour of sandpapery tannins, and hints of cherries, blackberries, plums, cola and cedar. Shows real class for a statewide-appellated Cab at this price.

I found myself returning to this Merlot again and again, because it’s such a good, gentle, easy sipper. It’s a pleasure to drink one that’s so nicely dry and balanced. Does a great job balancing ripe berry and stone fruits with earthy herbs and spices. Sommeliers and restaurateurs, scoop this one up while you can.

Tin Roof’s regular ’05 Cab was pretty good, but this is overripe and raisiny, suggesting a problem with the Syrah.

As fragrant as fresh-picked lemons, limes and oranges, sliced and slightly squeezed, with a drizzle of vanilla and honey. Finishes with acidity and stony minerals. Second label from Murphy-Goode.

Tin Roof knocked it out of the ballpark last year, and while the ’06 isn’t a home run, it’s a solid double, maybe a triple on stolen bases. Dry and balanced, it features flavors of black cherries, currants, cola and licorice, with a rich streak of smoky oak.

Rugged and rustic, but there’s a chewy charm to this blended red wine. It’s dry and tannic, with blackberry, cherry, currant and tobacco flavors.

Unusual to find a blush Pinot from this appellation, but this well-crafted one is fine. It has strawberry and mint flavors with nuances of vanilla and gingerbread, and is very dry.

There’s an abundance of ripe berry-cherry and spice fruit in this dry, full-bodied wine, which also has silky tannins and a liberal dose of smoky oak. It’s robust and satisfying, in a rustic way.
