Carrefour 2005 Pinot Noir (Carneros)

Price $34

Unusual for a winery to hold back a Pinot this long, but consumers are the beneficiaries. The tannins have melted, and the wine is utterly soft and silky. The flavors of raspberry cream, cherry pie filling, chocolate and pepper are deliciously decadent. Drink now through 2010. — S.H. (7/1/2009)

Carrefour 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)

Price $42

Rich, thick and jammy sweet, this Cab tasted a bit juvenile in the winter of 2009. With blackberry and cherry pie filling, chocolate, licorice and pepper flavors, it might develop harmony over the next six years. — S.H. (6/1/2009)

points

Carrefour 2005 Merlot (Napa Valley)

Price $28

This is a nice Merlot with polished Napa structure. It’s dry and rich in smooth tannins, with supple flavors of blackberries, red currants and spice. Drink now and for the next few years. — S.H. (6/1/2009)

Carrefour 2003 Pinot Noir (Carneros)

Price $28

This wine is very fresh at three-plus years. It’s lightly structured, with an elegant, silky mouthfeel and flavors of cola, red cherries, peppery spices and oak. Don’t be surprised if it shows modest improvement with four or five years in the bottle. — S.H. (12/15/2006)

Carrefour 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)

Carrefour 2003 Merlot (Napa Valley)

Price $25

Here’s a nice Merlot that’s drinking well now. It has soft, fine tannins and a crisp spine of acidity, while the flavors run to ripe blackberries, coffee, cocoa and smoky leather. — S.H. (12/15/2006)

Carrefour 2003 Cabernet Franc (Napa Valley)

Online Exclusive

Price $30

Soft, fleshy and opulent, with delicious cherry preserve flavors and a sprinkle of dusty cocoa and cinnamon. Feels elegant and upscale in the mouth. — S.H. (12/15/2006)

points

Carrefour 2005 Sauvignon Blanc (Napa Valley)

Online Exclusive

Price $18

If you’re sensitive to cat pee, go elsewhere, because this wine reeks of it. That’s not all, of course. There’s citrus, gooseberry, date nut, white pepper and zingy, zangy acidity. — S.H. (12/15/2006)
