Charnu 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon (St. Helena)
- $75
Classic Napa Cabernet, with perfectly ripened blackberry, cherry and cassis fruit, nicely elaborated by sweet, smoky oak, and framed in ripe, smooth tannins. Really a lovely wine, with the balanced equilibrium to ride out the next decade.

Charnu 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon (St. Helena)
- Cellar Selection
- $75
Dry, dramatic and rich, a Cabernet whose authoritative tannins mark it as classic Napa Valley. Beyond that are ripe blackberry, black currant and cassis flavors that are liberally oaked. Needs some time to come around, although you could drink it now with a good decant. But better 2013–2018.

Charnu 2009 Cuvée Blanc Sauvignon Blanc (St. Helena)
- Online Exclusive
- $24
A very rich Sauvignon Blanc that shows the creamy, smoky influence of oak barrels and lees. It’s dry and soft, with flavors of citrus fruits, figs, buttered toast and white pepper.

Charnu 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon (St. Helena)
- $75
A bit short and muted at the age of three, this 100% Cab might be going through a dumb phase. Shows modest currant and blackberry flavors, with hard tannins. Could surprise after 2010.
