Biltmore 2009 Reserve Cabernet Franc (Dry Creek Valley)
- Editors' Choice
- $25
Considerably lighter in body and texture than your average Cab Franc, Biltmore’s 2009 has the weight of a nice Pinot Noir. But it’s intense in cherry, red plum and cedar flavors, with ultrafine tannins. Sophisticated and elegant, a wine to drink with upscale fare, especially with mushrooms.

Biltmore 2008 Reserve Chardonnay (Napa Valley)
- $20
This is one of the drier Chardonnays out there. You won’t find that fat, opulent Alexander Valley tropical fruit, but something more akin to Chablis. The flavors are of minerals and dried herbs, with background notes of pineapples, pears and oak.

Biltmore 2009 Reserve Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley)
- $25
Simple and ripe, with jammy raspberry and cherry flavors, accented with sweet oak, and brightened by stimulating acidity. Lots of good flavor, but you wind up wishing it had more interest.

Biltmore 2007 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (Alexander Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $25
Biltmore is a well-known North Carolina winery, and now they’re producing from California. With this Cabernet, it seems like they’re trying to figure it out. The wine is soft and simple and rather sweet, with jammy cherry and raspberry flavors that turn cloying the more you swish it around the mouth.
