Sean Minor 2008 4 B Pinot Noir (Carneros)
- Editors' Choice
- $17
Tasted in a flight with far more expensive wines, this Pinot stood proud. It’s dry and richly complex, with the silk-and-satin texture you want. The flavors reward with cherries, cola, Canadian bacon, Indian spices and sandalwood. At this price, it’s a steal.

Sean Minor 2006 4B Merlot (Napa Valley)
- $17
Rich is the word for this Merlot. It flatters the palate with jammy black cherries, red currants, anise, cocoa and violets, accented with sweet, smoky oak. Turns a bit one-dimensional, but offers plenty of flavor.

Sean Minor 2007 Four Bears Chardonnay
- Online Exclusive
- $13
Delicious and powerful, and a great value. Can stand beside Chards twice its price, with ripe tropical fruit flavors, smoky oak and crisp coastal acidity. And the alcohol is modest.

Sean Minor 2008 Four Bears Sauvignon Blanc (Sonoma County)
- Editors' Choice
- $13
A fine, savory and frankly delicious Sauvignon Blanc marked by balanced, fruity flavors. With a bit of sweetness, it rewards with pineapples, lemon tart, Key lime pie, vanilla and figs. Crisp acidity provides a counterpoint to the richness.
