Arger-Martucci 2007 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon (Atlas Peak)
- Cellar Selection
- Online Exclusive
- $40
A dramatic Cabernet that shows Atlas Peak intensity and age-worthiness, this is bone dry, with hard tannins and zesty acidity. The core of blackberries, black currants and minerals is so delicious now, you can hardly keep from drinking it, but it will develop cellar complexity with 6–8 years of aging, and possibly far more.

Arger-Martucci 2007 Estate Reserve Red (Napa Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $50
Arger-Martucci hits bigtime with this Cabernet Franc-based Bordeaux-style blend. It marches in a different direction from the soft cult style, showing brisk acidity, hard tannins and relatively moderate alcohol. Yet there’s nothing light about the complex blackberry, cherry and currant flavors. Wonderful to drink now, and it will reward aging over the next 5–6 years.

Arger-Martucci 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon (Atlas Peak)
- $40
Here’s an elegant, full-bodied Cabernet packed with power and grace. It feels lush and classy in the mouth, a dry, softly tannic wine with rich flavors of blackberries, black currants and cedar. Drinks well now and should age well for 6–8 more years.

Arger-Martucci 2005 Odyssey Red (Atlas Peak)
- Cellar Selection
- $50
This is a big, powerful and still young Cabernet blend that’s not ready to drink yet. The massive blackberry, black currant, violet and dark chocolate flavors haven’t meshed with the smoky oak, while a cut of fruity acidity makes for a tart mouthfeel. But it should easily negotiate the years. Better after 2011, and should blossom afterwards.

Arger-Martucci 2006 Cabernet Franc (Napa Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $35
One of the best Cab Francs on the market. This is a variety that can be one-dimensional on its own, but Arger-Martucci’s shows a complex blackberry, black cherry and currant structure. It’s dry, tannic and changes interestingly as it warms in the glass.

Arger-Martucci 2007 Estate Cabernet Franc (Atlas Peak)
- Online Exclusive
- $45
One of the best Cabernet Francs out there, this shows the imposing structure of a Cabernet Sauvignon, although it’s lighter in body, with rich, dense tannins, fine acids and flavors of cherries and red currants. Decant it, and drink now with steak.

Arger-Martucci 2002 Chardonnay (Carneros)
- $22
Crisp, silky and elegant, a wine of bright acidity that cleans the palate. Then there are the flavors, which are rich and explosive. They range from citrus fruits through apples and peaches to mango, and are well-oaked.

Arger-Martucci 2004 Dulcinea Late Harvest Sauvignon Blanc-Semillon
- $45
This extremely sweet wine tastes of rich, seductive honey. The underlying fruit suggests extremely ripe apricots, peaches, pineapples and vanilla. It’s all balanced with fine acidity.
