Korbin Kameron 2006 Cuvée Kristin Red (Sonoma Mountain)
- Online Exclusive
- $55
A very rich Bordeaux blend based on Cabernet Sauvignon, but quite tannic. You want to give it some time in the cellar. Dry and full-bodied, it shows ripe, deep flavors of blackberry jam, black currants, dark chocolate and anise, with smoky overtones from oak. Feels dramatic and impressive. Give it until 2012 to come around.

Korbin Kameron 2008 Cuvée Kristin Estate Blend Red Wine (Sonoma Valley)
- $55
Delicious and classy, this is based on Merlot, with the other four classic Bordeaux varieties in proper proportion. It flatters immediately with its wealth of blackberries, black cherries, cola and mocha that finish so dry and spicy, yet it has that extra complexity that makes it intellectually interesting. Drink now and over the next six years.

Korbin Kameron 2007 Estate Grown Cabernet Sauvignon (Sonoma Valley)
- Editors' Choice
- $40
A beautiful Cabernet, this has all the hallmarks of a fine wine. It’s dry, rich in tannins and elegant, with long, deep flavors of blackberries, currants and dark chocolate. It’s already throwing some sediment, so give it a careful decant.

Korbin Kameron 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon (Sonoma Valley)
- $46
It’s not from Napa Valley, but it shows a classic California Cabernet structure that might surprise you in a lineup with Cabs from “over the hill.” Dry and elegant, it brims with black currant, licorice, smoke and cedar flavors, and finishes with the complex texture of a very high-class wine.

Korbin Kameron 2005 Moonridge Cabernet Sauvignon (Sonoma Valley)
- $40
Lush and dramatic. Shows intense flavors of black currants and cedar, wrapped into extremely fine tannins and liberally enhanced with sweet, smoky oak. Very good, but young and fresh. Best 2010–2013.

Korbin Kameron 2008 Estate Grown Merlot (Sonoma Valley)
- $35
Huge, flashy and dramatic, this shows brilliantly ripened fruit and an exquisite texture. Flavor wise, it tastes like pure pie filling seasoned with baking spices. But there’s nothing sweet in the finish. Instead, the wine is thoroughly and properly dry, as Merlot should be. Drink now.

Korbin Kameron 2007 Cuvée Kristin Estate Blend Red (Sonoma Valley)
- Cellar Selection
- $55
Very similar to the 2006, Kameron’s ’07 Bordeaux blend, which is based on Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, is upfront in blackberry, cherry, cassis, oak and spice flavors. It’s quite tannic, with a puckery astringency that suggests needed time in the cellar. Better after 2014.

Korbin Kameron 2004 Merlot (Sonoma Valley)
- $46
Classically structured, with finely-meshed tannins framing smooth flavors of cherries, currants, violets, cola, vanilla and sweet spices. This very nice wine shows how well Merlot can do if the winemaker understands its nature and treats it right.
