2007 Orin Swift "The Prisoner"
On Sale $29.99
"Offers both style and structure, with lively aromas of black raspberry, cracked pepper and mocha, with plush and layered flavors of wild berry, fresh sage and licorice. Ripe tannins sneak in on the finish. Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Petite Sirah, Charbono and Grenache. Drink now through 2014."
-Rated 92/100 The Wine Spectator

2006 Patz & Hall Chardonnay Hyde Vineyard On Sale $45.99 "Gorgeous aromas of crushed rocks/wet stones, white peach, pineapple, and honeyed citrus soar from the glass of the 2006 Chardonnay Hyde Vineyard. Medium to full-bodied, fresh, and lively, this is a superb effort to drink over the next 2-3 years." -Rated 92/100 Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate 2006 Patz & Hall Pinot Noir Chenoweth Ranch On Sale $45.99 "Good full red. Spicy red fruit and blueberry aromas complicated by licorice and flowers. Juicy, concentrated and sweet, even if it can't quite match the Hyde example for floral lift. The dark flavors of blueberry and brown spices lead to a fairly firm finish featuring building tannins." -Rated 91/100 Steve Tanzer, The International Wine Cellar
