Azur 2007 Red (Napa Valley)
- $55
A beautiful wine both in flavor and structure, an all-important combination. Shows rich, classy blackberries and cherries that are almost flamboyant until they’re tamed by firm tannins and a nice bite of acidity. Lots of smoky oak adds the perfect detail of caramel. Lovely now and for the next five years, at the very least. Syrah-Bordeaux blend of the first order.

Azur 2009 Sauvignon Blanc (Rutherford)
- Editors' Choice
- $26
This is a lovely Sauvignon Blanc that shows enough elegance and finesse to serve with fine food. It’s dry and crisp, with citrus, lemongrass, gooseberry and mineral flavors. Nice with tempura appetizers.

Azur 2009 Rosé (Napa Valley-Sierra Foothills)
- Online Exclusive
- $26
A pretty, polished and clean rosé, finished with crisp acidity. It’s zesty in peach, pear and citrus fruit flavors, but could be a little drier than it is.

Azur 2007 Rosé (California)
- Online Exclusive
- $24
The variety is Syrah, and the wine was aged in stainless steel. It’s full-bodied for a blush and a little tannic, a bridge wine that connects white and red. There’s a sappy, fresh quality to the raspberry purée and pepper flavors, and the finish is dry and spicy. Great with Provençal fare.

Azur 2010 Dry Rosé (California)
- $26
The label says it’s dry, but it’s not really. There’s a jammy sweetness to the apricot, orange and strawberry flavors. But there’s also plenty of cleansing acidity. Drink now with pork, ham and smoked sausage dishes.

Azur 2010 Sauvignon Blanc (Rutherford)
- Online Exclusive
- $26
Strong in gooseberry flavors that are unripe, with those notoriously green, sour feline elements. Despite some citrus and apple flavors, it’s a hard wine to warm up to.
