Bin 36 2009 Mauritson Vineyards Sauvignon Blanc (Dry Creek Valley)
- Editors' Choice
- $16
A beautiful, addictively good Sauvignon Blanc that shows how well the variety does in this inland valley, and also how well-farmed the Mauritson Vineyard is. The wine is brilliantly dry and crisp, with complex citrus, melon, fig, vanilla and white pepper flavors. Great value. Production was 1,000 cases.

Bin 36 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon (California)
- Editors' Choice
- Online Exclusive
- $16
Released from Hahn, the Central Coast producer, this wine is so good, it easily stands beside far more expensive bottlings. It’s dry and full-bodied and complex, just what you want in a Cab, and shows classic flavors of ripe blackberries, sweet black currants and smoky cedar. Production was 2,200 cases, and it’s worth the search.

Bin 36 2007 Chardonnay (Monterey)
- $18
If there’s any oak on this wine, it doesn’t show. Instead, it brims with ripe, pure flavors of pineapples, kiwi fruit, limes and cinnamon spice. Crisp and bright.

Bin 36 2006 Zinfandel (California)
- Online Exclusive
- $16
A simple wine. The underlying Zin is rather thin and jammy, while a clumsy overlay of oak adds unnatural vanilla and woodsap flavors.
