Sort By:

Andretti 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)

Price $38

Rich and dry, this Cab is long on blackberry and cherry flavors, with a rich vein of sweet tobacco, carob, herbs and oaky vanilla. It’s a balanced wine that is drinking well now. — S.H. (12/15/2007)

Andretti 2002 Chardonnay (Napa Valley)

Price $16

A nice, smooth Chard, solidly in the pop style with its pretty flavors of peaches, apples, sweet cream, vanilla and oak. It’s smooth in the mouth, with a spicy aftertaste. — S.H. (12/31/2003)

points

Andretti 2006 Pinot Noir (Sonoma County)

Price $33

Here’s an elegant, silky Pinot Noir that’s perfect for opening tonight with upscale fare. It’s dry and balanced, with charming flavors of cherries, cola, cranberries, cinnamon and smoky oak. — S.H. (5/1/2008)

points

Andretti 2009 Pinot Noir (Carneros)

Online Exclusive

Price $43

A big Pinot Noir, extracted and thick in cherry and blueberry pie filling, red currant, sandalwood and dusty spice flavors. Delicious, but soft and atypical for a Pinot, lacking some life and charm. Drink now. — S.H. (9/1/2011)

points

Andretti 2005 Selections Zinfandel

Price $22

Here’s a classic expression of California Zinfandel. Shows the variety’s rich wild berry, cherry, spice and tobacco flavors with that slightly rustic, briary edge of wildness. Finishes dry and cleanly tannic. — S.H. (12/1/2007)

points

Andretti 2007 Zinfandel (Howell Mountain)

Price $39

Hard and astringent in tannins, this Zin needs rich, oily meats and cheeses to combat its power. Shows concentrated flavors of grilled blackberries, roasted meat, black currants, cola and peppery spices, with the charred sweetness of oak barrels. — S.H. (12/31/2009)

points

Andretti 2004 Sauvignon Blanc (Napa Valley)

Price $16

The green grass, newly mown hay, lemon and lime and melon aromas and flavors jump right out of the glass. Crisp acidity, a round, creamy texture and a dryish finish. — S.H. (12/1/2005)

points

Andretti 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)

Price $44

The Andretti style is fruit-driven and easy, and this Cab definitely is built along those lines. It’s explosive in sweet raspberry, cherry, blackberry and loganberry jam flavors, with a smooth overlay of spicy oak. — S.H. (3/1/2009)
