Cartlidge & Browne 2008 Dancing Crow Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc (Lake County)
- Editors' Choice
- Online Exclusive
- $14
If there’s any oak on this wine, it doesn’t show at all. Instead, the fruit and acidity star. Offers a bright, clean burst of lime, grapefruit, kiwi, vanilla and honeysuckle flavors, and is bone dry. What a great restaurant wine.

Cartlidge & Browne 2009 Dancing Crow Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc (Lake County)
- $14
A great, inexpensive example of Lake County’s prowess at Sauvignon Blanc, this wine is marked by grapefruit and kiwi throughout and a creamy opulence that should appeal to a wide range of palates and plates.

Cartlidge & Browne 2005 Pinot Noir Rosé (Sonoma County)
- Best Buy
- $13
You won’t see it on the label, but the grapes for this dry blush come from such esteemed cool-climate vineyards as Parmalee, Durell and Saralee’s. The terroir imparts refreshing acidity, while the wine shows fine dryness, at a time when so many rosés finish sweet.

Cartlidge & Browne 2005 Snows Lake Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon (Lake County)
- $20
Keep your eye on Lake County’s Red Hills appellation for Cabernet Sauvignon, and on this up-and-coming vineyard. The ‘06 Shannon Ridge is rich and layerered, with a spicy edge to the red currant fruit flavors. Notable especially for its great acid-tannin balance.

Cartlidge & Browne 2009 Chardonnay (North Coast)
- Best Buy
- $12
This wine doesn’t offer a lot aromatically at first but opens nicely to lemon, lime and vanilla flavors. The moderately priced, moderate in alcohol Chardonnay is bright and clean overall and a very good value.

Cartlidge & Browne 2009 Pinot Noir (North Coast)
- $15
A mild, medium-bodied North Coast Pinot Noir with a pleasant aroma of cherry and plum, the cherry carries throughout the wine’s texture and overall follow-through. A tad simple, this wine is nonetheless a tremendously great deal for California Pinot.

Cartlidge & Browne 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon (North Coast)
- Best Buy
- $12
Another great buy from C&B, who this time have made a subtle, concentrated and rich Cabernet with good blackberry and woody, oaky flavors and a big mouthfeel. Steak, anyone?

Cartlidge & Browne 1998 Zinfandel (California)
- Best Buy
- $10
Tight as a drum, but a little cherry fruit escapes from the nose. It opens up into a sweet, lovely bottle of wine, with a bit of cocoa and coffee in the finish. Well-balanced, with sweet, clean fruit.
