Stave 28 2007 Lola Sangiovese (Sonoma County)

Online Exclusive

Price $24

A very good interpretation of Sangiovese. A pretty sharp mouthfeel, but maybe that’s to be expected from this high-acid variety. Otherwise, it’s nice and dry, with complex cherry, red currant, licorice, leather and sandalwood flavors. Good with spicy beef, pork and veal dishes. — S.H. (12/15/2010)

Stave 28 2007 Raven Merlot (Napa Valley)

Price $29

Feels a bit sharp and aggressive in the mouth, with acidity cutting across the currant, licorice and cola flavors. The wine also is very dry and fairly tannic. The impression is of a lack of generosity, especially at this price. — S.H. (12/1/2010)

points

Stave 28 2008 Echo Red

Online Exclusive

Price $19

A simple but likeable red blend, dry and supple in tannins, with earthy, sweet flavors of berries, cherries, tobacco and cedar. — S.H. (6/1/2011)
