Michael Pozzan 1997 Reserve Red (Napa Valley)
- Best Buy
- $13
A small Napa producer without cult status-lucky for us, or the price would be double. It has soft plum aromas, with round, juicy, plummy flavors. Well-balanced and deliciously appealing for drinking through 2004.

Michael Pozzan 2005 Sawyer Vineyards Sauvignon Blanc (Lake County)
- Best Buy
- $10
Pozzan is an Oakville-based brand, a négociant, really, that frequently offers value. This single-vineyard wine is rich and dry in citrus, apricot and fig flavors, with a refreshing minerality leading to a tartly clean finish. It shows why Lake County has a reputation for Sauvignon Blanc. The wine has a modest 12.5 percent of alcohol, and is one-quarter Sémillon.

Michael Pozzan 2006 Oakville Cuvée Zinfandel (Napa Valley)
- $22
Pozzan turns his attention to Zinfandel, with good results. The wine shows crisp acidity, rich tannins and brambly flavors of blackberries, cherries, milk chocolate, pepper, cloves and vanilla. So ripe, it tastes sweet, but this Zin is fundamentally dry.
