Audubon Cellars 1997 Graeser Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
- $18
From a Calistoga-area vineyard on Spring Mountain comes this very dark, dense wine. Smells young and tight now, with earthy/mulchy aromas mingling with black currant. Flavors run to currants, blackberries and spice. Young and tannic; it would be fine with rich foods, but better to age it for a few years and let it soften.

Audubon Cellars 1999 Juliana Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc (Napa Valley)
- $12
From Napa's Pope Valley, this wine features wonderfully rich citrus, melon and spice flavors. Barrel fermentation and sur-lie aging add creamy complexities.

Audubon Cellars 1997 Sangiacomo Vineyard Chardonnay
- $15
Buttery and earthy, with pear, pineapple and tropical fruit on the midpalate. Finishes with tangy acidity and wood notes.

Audubon Cellars 1998 Sangiacomo Vineyard Chardonnay (Carneros)
- $13
The underlying grape flavors are a little thin, suggesting peaches, but there’s a ton of winemaker bells and whistles. French oak yields smoky, spicy, vanilla notes, while lees aging gives a creamy flavor and mouthfeel.

Audubon Cellars 1997 Juliana Vineyards Sauvignon Blanc (Napa Valley)
- $9
A fruity, simple wine, with citrus and even mango aromas and flavors. Seems too off-dry for Sauvignon Blanc, almost Muscat-like, but clean and zesty. Think picnic wine.

Audubon Cellars 2000 Juliana Vineyards Sauvignon Blanc (Napa Valley)
- $12
From the warmer Pope Valley, a ripe, limpid wine brimming with melon and citrus-peach flavors. It’s soft, while a bit of lees aging provides tartness and creaminess.

Audubon Cellars 1997 Picnic Hill Vineyard Late Harvest Zinfandel (Amador County)
- $14
Exaggerated, burnt aromas of sun-dried tomato, raisins and plum liqueur don’t roll out the red carpet. Sweet (5.35% RS) and fruity, but also tannic and on the rough, earthy side. Ultimately it finishes short.
