Cru Vin Dogs NV The Loyal Companion Red (Sonoma County)
- Best Buy
- $13
Zinfandel and Syrah bring peppery and meaty flavors to this robust, dry red blend. Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec add body, tannins and a rich, dark blackberry depth. Production was a little more than 2,000 cases.

Cru Vin Dogs 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon-Syrah (Dry Creek Valley)
- $26
Drink this lusty, hearty red wine now with beef stew and sausage casseroles. It’s a big, softly tannic wine that’s sweet with blackberry, licorice and chocolate flavors.

Cru Vin Dogs 2005 Best In Show Cabernet Sauvignon (Dry Creek Valley)
- $85
Nice and dry, with an elegant structure of acids and firm, dusty tannins and a balanced application of oak. However, the wine is a bit thin and lacking in richness, especially compared to Napa. It shows herb-tinged, earthy flavors that suggest black cherries, green olives and golden tobacco.

Cru Vin Dogs 2007 Maboroshi Vineyard Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley)
- $45
A little sharp and awkward in the mouth, with some green flavors leading to a tart finish. There are enough berry, cherry and oak flavors to make the wine interesting. Shows a classy dryness, but doesn’t seem to have the balance to age. Drink up.

Cru Vin Dogs 2006 Chardonnay (Dry Creek Valley)
- $16
A nice, pleasant Chardonnay from a winery that donates 10% of profits to animal and guide dog causes. Rich and creamy, it’s strong in tropical fruit and vanilla spice flavors.

Cru Vin Dogs 2005 Chardonnay (Dry Creek Valley)
- $16
Crisp and creamy, an everyday style of Chard made in the New World, Californian style. It’s front-loaded in jammy pine-apple and papaya flavors.

Cru Vin Dogs 2006 Portrait Series Cabernet Merlot
- $30
Good, but a bit thin and tannic, with a dry, astringent mouthfeel framing modest currant and herb flavors. Tastes like the kind of wine you want to age, but the stuffing isn’t there.
