Nevada City 1999 Zinfandel
- $15
Juicy and ripe. You can taste the sun in every sip of the blackberry, blueberry and black cherry flavors. The wine is balanced and supple, maybe too soft, but that’s nitpicking. It’s Sierra-esque in its rugged, briary way.

Nevada City 2000 Syrah
- $18
Fully ripened fruit, from four vineyards in four counties, comes together seamlessly to to produce this flavorful red wine. It’s juicy and filled with berry flavors that taste dry, but finish sweet. This country wine is soft and a little short on finesse.

Nevada City 2000 Petite Sirah
- $28
A completely average wine, with jammy flavors of red and black cherry, spice, and a hint of tarry earth. Tastes soft and mellow, with a thick, syrupy texture. There’s nothing wrong with it, but it’s pricey for what you get.

Nevada City 2001 Syrah
- $20
Well-ripened cherry-blackberry fruit is floating in sturdy, rough tannins that make the mouthfeel rugged. Itís an honest country-style wine, but seems expensive.

Nevada City 2000 Zinfandel
- $15
A distinctive, old fashioned California mountain Zin. It’s strong in alcohol, very ripe in blackberry flavor, and tannic and rustic in texture, with just a touch of Porty raisins.

Nevada City 1999 Cabernet Sauvignon
- $16
From Nevada County, this wine is full of black currant flavors and dry tannins. The trick, of course, is to get Cabernet to taste fancy and pedigreed. No sense buying a rustic Cabernet at any price—we have Zin for that.

Nevada City 2001 Vin Cinq Red
- $16
A Bordeaux blend, it’s dry and balanced, with some nice cherry-berry flavors and a touch of oak. Could use a little more ripeness and finesse.

Nevada City 2001 Cabernet Franc
- $17
The mountains have produced a pleasantly drinkable wine. It has plummy, cherry and licorice flavors with an earthy edge of coffee, and soft tannins. Try as an alternative to Merlot.
