  1. $12
Plenty of flavor in this unoaked Chardonnay, which the winery says comes from an Oakville vineyard. It’s packed with pineapples and lemondrop candy, with fine acidity and a touch of mineral.  — S.H.  (5/1/2011)

SKN 2008 Merlot (Napa Valley)

  • Best Buy
  1. $12
This is the kind of wine that negociant Don Sebastiani & Sons produces so well. For an everyday price, you get a pretty nice Cabernet, dry and spicy, with a good punch of berry fruit.  — S.H.  (8/1/2011)

Here’s a good, everyday-style Merlot. It’s dry and medium-bodied, with pleasant flavors of black cherries, black currants and oak, finished with a savory edge of tannins. Shows class beyond its price.  — S.H.  (12/31/2009)

Chardonnay fans will like the pineapple and pear flavors, with their creamy, spicy edge of vanilla and pepper spice. It’s a direct, dry wine at a pretty good price.  — S.H.  (12/31/2009)

SKN 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $15
Hard and astringent, with awkward tannins and some bitterness. Yet it’s dry and full-bodied, and the blackberry and oak flavors will work with a juicy hamburger.  — S.H.  (12/31/2009)

SKN 2007 Sauvignon Blanc (Napa Valley)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $15
An awkward wine, with apricot and grapefruit flavors that finish bone dry and tart. Loses points for sourness.  — S.H.  (12/31/2009)
