Maldonado 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $65
Just delicious, this offers a flood of ripe, jammy blackberries and cherries. Beyond the richness is superb structure, with refined tannins, a floor of minerality and keen acidity. Good as it is now, the wine should profit with 6-8 years in the cellar.  — S.H.  (8/1/2012)

Maldonado 2008 Los Olivos Vineyard Chardonnay (Napa Valley)

  1. $36
Very rich and ripe, a modern style Chardonnay. It’s well-oaked, showing aromas and flavors of buttered toast and vanilla cream, as well as fruitier notes of roasted pineapples, pears and oranges. Drink this flamboyant wine now.  — S.H.  (9/1/2011)

Maldonado 2008 Proprietary Red (Napa Valley)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $36
Hard in tanins and earthy, this blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah is a little rustic, but it shows a certain elegance, and there’s a nice core of blackberries, cherries, tobacco and savory spices. A wine to watch in future vintages.  — S.H.  (9/1/2011)

Maldonado 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)

  1. $49
Very tannic and dry, especially for a 2007 Cabernet, not showing the fatness and opulence of that acclaimed vintage. There are some buried treasure blackberry and cassis flavors, but the wine is so tough, you have to wonder if it will ever come around.  — S.H.  (9/1/2011)
