Madroña Cabernet Franc -2005 (WE-82733)

Most Recent Tasting Note:

Profile Image

Cab Franc has been a surprise winner up in the Sierra Foothills, and this bottling by veteran Madroña is a good example of the genre. It’s a medium-bodied, dry wine whose fuzzy tannins frame herb-tinged cherry and currant flavors. Impresses for its elegance and complexity, especially at this price. 1 Note

David Girard Grenache -2004 (WE-60495)

Most Recent Tasting Note:

Profile Image

How tasty this fresh wine is. It’s all about cherries and raspberries, with overtones of chocolate, vanilla, sweet licorice and pepper. Yet the wine is thoroughly dry, and balanced with rich acidity. It’s not only delicious, it’s complex. Contains a little Malbec, which brings body. 1 Note

Perry Creek Syrah -2007 (WE-118340)

Most Recent Tasting Note:

Profile Image

Good and dry, with pleasant blackberry flavors and lots of peppery spices. The texture is a bit uneven, though, with clunky tannins and some green notes. Drink now. 1 Note

Auriga Zinfandel -2004 (WE-53671)

Most Recent Tasting Note:

Profile Image

Rough and ready Zin, with chocolate, cherry and blueberry flavors that are extracted and jammy. The wine is soft and dry, and so super-rich in ripe fruit it's almost sweet. 1 Note

Windwalker Chardonnay -1999 (WE-16317)

Most Recent Tasting Note:

Profile Image

From mountain vineyards, and you can taste an iron-y concentration, bordering on iodine, that frames the peach and apple flavors. The flavors are long and ripe and spicy, yet there’s a spine of acidic steel that makes it drink bright and fresh. —S.H. 1 Note

Easton Zinfandel -2002 (WE-42594)

Most Recent Tasting Note:

Should be either sweeter or drier. It straddles the line, offering coffee and cassis flavors and astringent tannins. 1 Note

Latcham Zinfandel -1999 (WE-20827)

Most Recent Tasting Note:

Profile Image

Dark, young and robust, it’s a classic Foothills Zin, with intensely ripe fruit, ultrasoft tannins and acids, and rather rustic mouthfeel. That’s not a put-down. The wild berry flavors are delicious and the wine is a joy to drink right through the long, sweet finish. 1 Note

Madroña Zinfandel -1998 (WE-9993)

Most Recent Tasting Note:

Profile Image

Smoke and oak dominate the nose, with some fairly light, pretty fruit underneath. The oak seems mismatched for the weight of the fruit, which is sweet and charming, like cherry lifesavers. 1 Note
