Brass Tacks 2007 Riesling (Monterey)
- Best Buy
- Online Exclusive
- $15
A beautiful Riesling, perfect for a cocktail or with a wide range of fare. Bone dry and richly acidic, it shows true varietal flavors of citrus, honeysuckle, diesel or lighter fluid, minerals and gardenia flower. This is a wine that sommeliers should scoop up, but only 450 cases were produced.

Brass Tacks 2008 Riesling (Monterey)
- Editors' Choice
- $15
This would be a wonderful wine even if it cost a little more. As it is, it’s a steal. Shows refined apricot, peach, lychee, mineral and floral flavors, finished with brisk, mouthwatering acidity, and an absolutely dry finish. One of the best Riesling values available in Cailfornia, and a tremendous cocktail wine. Just 600 cases were produced.

Brass Tacks 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon (Central Coast)
- Editors' Choice
- Online Exclusive
- $15
Very nice for the price. Dry and smooth, with blackberry, cherry, cola and currant flavors that have a scoury mouthfeel, because of the tannins. Lots of class and even some complexity.

Brass Tacks 2007 Merlot (Central Coast)
- Editors' Choice
- Online Exclusive
- $15
Bone dry, with brisk tannins, this is a Merlot to drink with good food and not worry about the wine overshadowing it. It’s really drinkable, with a soft, lush mouthfeel and flavors of cherries, currants, spices and cedar. A huge and welcome improvement over the ’06.

Brass Tacks 2009 Merlot (Central Coast)
- $15
An inexpensive Merlot that’s herbal. It also shows cranberry and menthol amid a light toasting of oak.

Brass Tacks 2008 Petite Sirah (North Coast)
- Online Exclusive
- $15
A good, rugged Petite Sirah, with the bigtime fruit and heavy tannins the variety is known for. Just bursts across the palate with blackberries, plums, cassis and peppery, leathery notes.
