Vinifera 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
- Editors' Choice
- Online Exclusive
- $40
Here’s a young, vital, impressive 100% Cabernet. It’s dry, full-bodied and rich in classic flavors of blackberries, black currants, graphite and minerals, wrapped into silky tannins. Superb oak integration lends notes of vanilla and sandalwood. Just gorgeous in the mouth, filled with class and elegance. Now–2014, at least.

Vinifera 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
- $38
A very good Cabernet, although a young one. It’s classically structured, with fine tannins and acidity framing ripe, luxurious flavors of blackberries, black currants and cocoa, accentuated by smoky oak. Good now, with decanting, but should be better by late 2010.

Vinifera 2007 Niveus White (Napa Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $38
A pretty wine that shows elegance in its structure. Mostly Sauvignon Blanc, with a splash of Sémillon, it’s not truly dry, with a sweetly jammy finish. Shows oak-inspired flavors of pineapples, Key lime pie, honeysuckle and vanilla.
