Bargetto 2004 Regan Vineyard Pinot Noir (Santa Cruz Mountains)
- $35
Bargetto’s been working with Pinot from this vineyard for some time now, and this is their best effort to date. It shows classic coastal varietal character, with a delicately dry, silky structure, flavors of cherries, cola, pomegranates, rhubarb tea and dusty spices, and crisp acidity. Best now for its polished elegance.

Bargetto 2006 Regan Vineyards Reserve Chardonnay (Santa Cruz Mountains)
- $30
Bargetto’s ’06 reserve from their Regan Vineyards is a rich, creamy wine. It brims with classic coastal acidity and ripe flavors of grilled pineapples and roasted hazelnuts, with interesting notes of charred oak and minerals.

Bargetto 2001 Merlot (Santa Cruz Mountains)
- $20
There are many admirable qualities to this wine. Its mountain origins lend it a tight, taut structure, rich in tannins and acids, yet the berry, cherry fruit is accessible and ripe. And what a deliciously long, sweet finish it has.

Bargetto 2000 Dry Gewürztraminer (Santa Cruz Mountains)
- Best Buy
- Online Exclusive
- $12
This single-vineyard wine smells unbelievably good, with gingerbread, honey, citrus, vanilla custard and tropical fruit notes bursting from the glass. The flavors are as good, filled with ripe fruits and spices. ItÕs not all that dry, but pretty much so. One of the best Gewurzes of the vintage, and an incredible value.

Bargetto 2004 Reserve Merlot (Santa Cruz Mountains)
- $35
This is a true reserve, richer and more complex than Bargetto’s regular Merlot. Shows dense flavors of black raspberries, currants, cherries, chocolate and vanilla, wrapped into firm but accessible tannins, and finishes thoroughly dry and spicy. Best now and for a year or two.

Bargetto 2000 Regan Vineyard Chardonnay (Santa Cruz Mountains)
- $20
Lush, ripe and oaky, with oodles of juicy peach and tropical fruit flavors accented with the smoke, vanilla and spices of oak. The finish adds a burst of cleansing acidity. —S.H.

Bargetto 2007 Gewürztraminer (Monterey County)
- Online Exclusive
- $14
This is a very nice Gewürz at a fair price. It’s crisp in citrusy acidity, giving a cutting edge to the slightly sweet flavors of papaya, litchi, white peach, green apple, vanilla and Asian spice.

Bargetto 2003 Regan Vineyard Merlot (Santa Cruz Mountains)
- $35
You can taste the sun-warmed grapes that got so ripe and fruity in this fine vintage. Blackberries, cherries, chocolate, dark plums and violets flood the palate, with rich toasty oak overtones. There are bigtime tannins, too, dusty and fairly astringent, making for a puckery feeling. A dry, balanced Merlot to cellar for a couple years.
