Catacula 2001 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
- $19
Very ripe and opulent in fruit. Has flavors of black currant and cassis; so rich and extracted, it’s almost a liqueur. Fortunately, adequate acidity brings life, and oak adds nuances of vanilla and toast.

Catacula 2000 Rancho Cuvee Cabernet Sauvignon-Merlot (Napa Valley)

A Cabernet–Merlot blend with flavors of currants, tobacco and herbs, and a rich overlay of toasty oak. Bone dry, with smooth tannins. Turns bitter on the finish.

Catacula 2001 Zinfandel (Napa Valley)
- $15
Superripe, almost raisiny, with soft tannins and acidity. The softness accentuates the cherries, blackberries, chocolate and raisins and makes the wine drink syrupy, but it sure does tastes good.

Catacula 2003 Late Harvest Sauvignon Blanc (Napa Valley)
- $25
This is a very, very sweet wine, smacking of honeyed apricots and vanilla custard. As delicious as it is, it could use greater acidity for balance and crispness.

Catacula 2005 Sauvignon Blanc (Napa Valley)
- $14
Candied and simple, with candied flavors of pineapple, lemon, lime and vanilla, this pleasant wine finishes a little sweet, but is balanced by crisp, citrusy acids. It’s notable for the clean, richly fruity finish.

Catacula 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
- $22
Opens with a Porty aroma, a baked brown sugar and pie-crust scent that turns dry in the mouth, with flavors of rum-soaked raisins and cocoa.
