Crosby Roamann 2009 Dark Garden Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
- $60
This newish winery swings for the fences with this dramatically ripe, soft and complex young Cabernet. It’s made in the modern style, with appealing blackberry, black currant, dark chocolate and sweet oak flavors that impress for sheer intensity and flamboyance. Seems somewhat generic, in the way of cult Napa Cabs, but awfully good. It remains to be seen if a wine…

Crosby Roamann 2010 Cupiens Videre Lucem Crosby's Reserve Red (Napa Valley)
- $135
This tiny production blend surely is made in the modern cult style. Its tannins are soft and sexy, its flavors deep and delicious with milk chocolate, blackberry jam, cassis liqueur and buttery toast. The only thing it lacks is subtlety, but it does deserve its score for sheer Napa power.

Crosby Roamann 2010 Cupiens Videre Lucem Cabernet Sauvignon (Mount Veeder)
- $60
Shows the hallmarks of a fine Mount Veeder Cabernet, namely immediate succulence, intensely concentrated mountain fruit, and yet an almost certain capacity to age. Lush, ripe flavors of blackberries and crème de cassis lead to a long, soft finish. Drink now–2018.

Crosby Roamann 2010 Merlot (Oak Knoll)
- $45
This easy-to-drink Merlot is lusciously forward in blackberries and cherries, yet has extra qualities of structural complexity that recommend it. Beyond the sweetness are rich tannins, just-in-time acidity and a subtle floweriness of rose petals and violets.

Crosby Roamann 2010 Chardonnay (Carneros)
- Editors' Choice
- $25
An absolutely first-class Chardonnay, although with production at only 100 cases, it may be somewhat difficult to find. It shows near-perfect balance of acidity, oak, minerality and lees, with a touch of sour-lemon candy drop.

Crosby Roamann 2011 Sauvignon Blanc (St. Helena)
- $32
With some new oak, this is an easy Sauvignon Blanc, with jammy oranges, pineapples and apricots. The acidity is just fine, giving a bright edge to the fruit.

Crosby Roamann 2010 Eternal Return Sauvignon Blanc (St. Helena)
- Online Exclusive
- $18
An edgy Sauvignon Blanc, with green gooseberry, ammonia, lemon and lime aromas and flavors, accented with acidity. Just a little too unripe to merit a higher score.
