Sextant 2006 Kamal Red (Paso Robles)
- $39
A lovely Bordeaux blend that shows how much these Paso Robles reds are really succeeding. Yes, the alcohol is high, but it’s a lush, ripe wine, filled with delicious blackberries, currants, chocolate and sandalwood.

Sextant 2006 Nightwatch Red (Paso Robles)
- Online Exclusive
- $49
Fans of big, powerful, lush California Petite Sirahs will fall in love with this blend of Zinfandel, Petite Sirah and Syrah. It’s a dark, full-bodied and extraordinarily rich wine, potent in blackberry and cherry pie filling and milk chocolate flavors. Soft and complex, with dusty tannins, it calls to mind a perfectly grilled steak.

Sextant 2005 Wheelhouse Zinfandel (Paso Robles)
- $19
Distinctly Zin, with its briary, brambly aromas and flavors of wild berries, freshly picked off thorn bushes in the heat of the summer sun. The freshness perseveres with vibrant cherry, blackberry, loganberry and pepper flavors that finish smooth and dry. Perfect with roasts, barbecue, rich hard cheeses.

Sextant 2007 Holystone Zinfandel (Paso Robles)
- $27
Very ripe and plush, you might even say sexy. Caresses the palate with warmth and velvety softness, carrying flavors of blackberry pie, blueberry marmalade, melted milk chocolate, vanilla bean and lots of peppery spices.

Sextant 2005 Holystone Zinfandel (Paso Robles)
- $27
If you don’t like high alcohol you might want to stay away from this one, but you’d be missing a classic expression of Paso Robles Zinfandel. It’s soft, rich and complex in berry pie, coffee, root beer, tobacco, spice and chocolate flavors; very delicious. I think of drinking this with something off the barbecue, under a warm, starry summer night.

Sextant 2009 Wheelhouse Zinfandel (Paso Robles)
- $21
A little high in alcohol, as is the Paso Robles way, but really a very lush and pleasurable Zinfandel. Softly tannic and slightly sweet, it floods the mouth with ripe flavors of raspberries, black cherries, mocha, cinnamon and pepper.

Sextant 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon (Paso Robles)
- Online Exclusive
- $20
What a nice Paso Cabernet, perfect for drinking now. While dry in style, it’s rich and sweet in black currant, anise and cedar flavors, and the thick tannins are just what you want in a full-bodied Cab. Wonderful with hearty beef dishes.

This is dry and crisp in mouthwatering acidity, and the tropical fruit flavors have a minerality that makes it savory.
