Boeger 1998 Barbera (El Dorado)
- Best Buy
- $14
Lots of black cherry fruit, with notes of dry, dusty earth and truffle, and a strong cola element. It’s very dry and supple, a wine of character. The fruity flavors are rich, and the tannins are soft and rounded.

Boeger 1997 Pinot Noir (El Dorado)
- $20
This is Boeger’s first Pinot, and it’s a good beginning. It’s fairly straightforward, with bright cherry-berry fruit, good balance and a lingering finish. Boeger is planting more Pinot Noir, which is a good thing.

Boeger 1996 Red (El Dorado County)
- $18
A gutsy blend of 37% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Cabernet Franc, 20% Merlot and 9% Petit Verdot. Opens with full-tilt jammy fruit, leading to a middle with good structure and tannins. The finish is fairly long, with intense spice and fruit.

Boeger 1997 Estate Zinfandel (El Dorado)
- $15
Tar and cherries in the nose, and the follow-through shows thick, ripe, sweet cherry fruit with some dark, tarry underpinnings. Good concentration and a long finish. There is 11% Petite Sirah, which adds color and depth.

Boeger 1998 Sauvignon Blanc (El Dorado County)
- $13
A bright and lively wine with good acidity and a lean, engaging finish. The fruit is on the citrus side, but with some depth and concentration.

Boeger 1998 Reserve Tempranillo (El Dorado)
- $25
The great grape of Spain’s Rioja produces a very soft and fruity wine, with smoky strawberry flavors, and very dry. It has dusty tannins and acidity. Your tongue sticks to the roof of your mouth, suggesting that this wine needs food. There’s also a hint of smoked meat in there somewhere. —S.H.

Boeger 1998 Walker Vineyard Zinfandel (El Dorado County)
- $18
You look for a slightly rustic, untamed quality in Sierra Foothills Zin, and find it in this delightful wine. The fruit is ripe and friendly, and it’s easy-drinking and dry, with plenty of appeal.

Boeger 1999 Reserve Petite Sirah (El Dorado)
- $25
There’s lots to like in this easy drinking wine, although it’s a bit pricy for the quality. Tasters found the fruity flavors light but tasty, while the tannins are not a problem. It’s also an oaky wine, but the smooth, gentle texture is pleasant.
