Dominican Oaks 2010 Sauvignon Blanc (Napa Valley)

  • Editors' Choice
  1. $15
A bone-dry, acidic Sauvignon Blanc, just what the doctor ordered in a wine to get the evening started. The flavors of cold steel, lemons, limes and minerals are tart, almost sour, suggesting rich, savory tapas, like sausages, salted nuts, grilled veggies.  — S.H.  (10/1/2011)

  1. $15
Rich and creamy, with fruit-forward flavors of pineapple jam, oranges, ripe peaches, vanilla and buttered toast. Crisp acidity gives balance and clean liveliness.  — S.H.  (5/1/2009)

Minty and green, with pronounced gooseberry and feline scent aromas and flavors. This bone-dry, acidic wine needs rich food for balance, like goat cheese.  — S.H.  (5/1/2009)

Good berry, herb and coffee flavors in this dry wine. It’s pretty acidic, though, and the tannins are a little green.  — S.H.  (10/1/2011)

Dominican Oaks 2006 Merlot (Napa Valley)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $17
Harsh and rustic, this Merlot is overpriced for what you get. Although it’s dry, it has irregularly ripened tannins, and minty, medicinal flavors of cherries.  — S.H.  (5/1/2009)
