Bonneau 2006 Hyde Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon (Carneros)

Price $70

An interesting wine that’s picking up some aging characteristics. The primary blackberry and cherry flavors are drying, accentuating earthier, mushroomy notes, while the oak has become fully integrated. A complex, low-alcohol wine that should gain traction over the next 6–8 years. — S.H. (12/1/2011)

Bonneau 2005 Hyde Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon (Carneros)

Price $60

This is an interesting and different wine. It’s much lower in alcohol than most Cabs, but completely dry, with a tobacco and sage pull to the black currant flavors. The firm tannins suggest cellar possibilities. — S.H. (9/1/2008)

points

Bonneau 2003 Private Reserve Chardonnay (Carneros)

Price $22

This is a deeply flavored Chardonnay. Its full body embraces powerful flavors of ripe green apples, pineapples, butterscotch and spices. The wine is kept lively by good acidity. — S.H. (11/1/2005)

points

Bonneau 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon (Sonoma County)

Price $34

This is a very good, somewhat complex Sonoma County blend. It’s soft and dry, with upfront, accessible berry, cherry, herb and oak flavors, and smooth tannins. Balanced and restrained, it’s a nice partner for steak. Drink now. — S.H. (12/1/2007)

points

Bonneau 2008 Catherine's Vineyard Chardonnay (Carneros)

Price $32

Very ripe, rich and oaky, made solidly in the California style. Doesn’t leave much to the imagination, but rewards for decadent pineapple, pear, crème brûlée, buttered popcorn and vanilla flavors. — S.H. (7/1/2010)

points

Bonneau 2005 Zinfandel (Shenandoah Valley (CA))

Price $28

Bonneau’s ’05 is a really nice mountain Zin. It stays true to the wild, rustic character of the variety, with an explosion of leathery forest berries, coffee and herbs. But it retains balance and elegance. — S.H. (12/1/2007)

points

Bonneau 2009 Nectar de Carneros Sweet Chardonnay (Carneros)

Online Exclusive

Price $18

With 9% residual sugar, this Chardonnay is distinctly sweet. It’s also very Chard-like, with pear, peach and buttercream flavors. It’s a bit simple, but very tasty. — S.H. (8/1/2010)

points

Bonneau 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon (Sonoma Valley)

Price $40

Very ripe, with a bite of raisin skin bitterness. But it’s a lush wine, filled with chocolate, blueberry, blackberry jam and cedar flavors that go down nice and easy. Drink now. — S.H. (12/1/2011)
