Magness 2006 Merlot (Napa Valley)
- Editors' Choice
- Online Exclusive
- $20
This is exactly what Merlot should taste like, and you get it for a pretty nice price. Dry and velvety, it has immediately likeable flavors of red cherries, smoky bacon, violets, peppery spices and a lovely coat of sandalwood. Drink this lush, smooth wine now.

Magness 2008 Chardonnay (Napa Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $20
Shows lots of dryness and austerity, with acidity, minerals and herbs accompanying the citrus and oak flavors. Not a flamboyant Chardonnay, but a controlled one that offers complexity. A good companion to fresh crab, with buttery garlic bread.

Magness 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
- $20
Good price for a Cab of this quality. Shows a gritty, tannic toughness that will play well against a nice steak. The blackberry, currant, herb and cedar flavors are just fine. Drink now.

Magness 2008 Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley)
- $20
Made in a lighter, earthier style, but still showing plenty of class. It’s dry and silky, with sour cherry candy and spice flavors. Good value for a Pinot of this elegance.

Magness 2007 Merlot (Napa Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $20
A little tough and gritty in the mouth, but the flavors are rich, and the wine finishes long and spicy. Underneath the edgy tannins is plenty of black cherry, currant and plum fruit. Drink now.

Magness 2009 Chardonnay (Napa Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $20
Even people who like lots of buttered toast and smoky vanilla in their Chards might find this one a little over the top. It’s a good, rich wine, with lots of bright tropical fruit, but it would score higher if it were just a little less oaky.

A little sharp and aggressive in texture, giving it a rustic feel, but pretty rich in blackberries, currants and cedar, making it an easy Cab to drink now.
