Hoyt Family Vineyards 2007 Malibu Cabernet Sauvignon (Paso Robles)
- $22
Smooth and classy, a Cabernet that feels fine in the mouth. With a velvety texture, it shows ripe, extravagant flavors of blackberry and cherry jam, with vanilla and toast from oak barrels. Not an ager, but one of the better Cabernets to come out of Paso Robles.

Hoyt Family Vineyards 2006 Syrah
- Editors' Choice
- Online Exclusive
- $21
A good value for a red wine this smooth and flavorful. Shows deep, spicy flavors of blackberries, cherries and bacon, with a beautiful coating of tannin. The grapes come from the Malibu area and from the Santa Ynez Valley.

Hoyt Family Vineyards 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon (Santa Ynez Valley)
- $22
Shows good flavors, with plenty of cherries and blackberries and a touch of herbs, and the finish is nice and dry. The all-important mouthfeel is a little irregular, though, with green tannins and a bite of acidity. Not going anywhere, so drink up.

- $19
Made from Pinot Gris, Viognier and Chardonnay, this is a simple little white wine, dry and crisp in acidity, with pleasant citrus, floral and vanilla flavors. Drink it now.

A simple, sweet Chardonnay, jammy and sugary in pineapples, tangerines and vanilla. This candied wine is made in the popular style.

Hoyt Family Vineyards 2009 Malibu Chardonnay
- Online Exclusive
- $29
Smells and tastes oaky, with vanilla, caramel and buttered toast notes swamping the citrus and tropical fruits. Pretty simple, in the California style.

Hoyt Family Vineyards 2010 Decoupage White (Santa Barbara County)
- Online Exclusive
- $19
With leafy, vegetal smells and tastes, this lacks some intrigue. It has some decent orange and vanilla flavors, courtesy of the Chardonnay that’s in the blend, along with additions of Viognier and Pinot Grigio.
