Spann Vineyards 2004 Twenty Three Barrels Cabernet Sauvignon (Sonoma County)
- $32
Spann’s track record for soft, appealing Cabs is unbroken with this very pretty and polished ‘04. With a wealth of blackberry, currant, mocha and spice flavors, it shows real complexity. Despite the softness, it will develop and hold for a decade or more.

Spann Vineyards 2007 Betsy's Backacher Bottle Blond Semillon-Chardonnay (Yorkville Highlands)
- Editors' Choice
- $17
This is an interesting wine that shows the creamy pineapple and vanilla flavors of Chardonnay, yet with rich, more exotic notes of cashew nuts, yellow apricots and marzipan. It’s full-bodied and almost sweet, yet complex enough for a fine dinner.

Spann Vineyards 2009 Four Barrels Top of the World Cabernet Sauvignon (Sonoma Valley)
- $50
There’s lots of spicy, fruity richness in this softly tannic Cabernet. It’s lush and forward in flavors of blackberry and cherry pie, currant, plum and cola. In the winter, give it a brief decant, but if the weather’s warm, you can even chill it for 15 minutes in the fridge: It’s that kind of wine.

Spann Vineyards 2001 Mo Jo Red (Russian River Valley)
- $30
An unusual blend that’s rich in berry, cocoa and spice flavors. Delicious and elegant, with real complexity of sweet tannins and crisp acids. Great, versatile food wine. Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah and Petite Sirah.

Spann Vineyards 2002 Chardonnay-Viognier (Sonoma County)
- $17
A fruity, toasty blend, full-bodied and lush, with pleasing hints of peach, melon, apricot, herb, citrus and spice flavors. The finish is moderate in length.

Spann Vineyards 2009 Cross Creek Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon (Sonoma Valley)
- $50
This is a fine Cabernet, with ripe berry, cherry and cola flavors, tinged with smoky oak. The tannins are firm but pliant, making it drinkable now, though it could develop bottle complexity over the years.

Spann Vineyards 2001 Mayacamas Range Five Barrels Cabernet Sauvignon (Sonoma Valley)
- $30
Balanced, with good acidity and easy tannins framing a nice mix of cherry-berry flavors and a tobacco, coffee and herb edge. Aims for elegance and detail rather than power.
