Cobblestone 2005 Cobblestone Vineyard Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
-
$69
Clearly well-origined, to judge from the fine structure and essential purity. But it’s a very tannic, closed wine, with a mouth-numbing astringency that accentuates the acidity. Even so, it’s so ripe in blackberries and currants it’s almost drinkable now, with a good decant. But you’re best off cellaring a good 4–6 years.

Cobblestone 2006 Chardonnay (Arroyo Seco)
-
$29
A good followup to last year’s bottling, Cobblestone’s ’06 Chard hails from the Arroyo Seco, known for crisp, ripe, elegant white wines. It brims with pineapple, peach, tangerine, mineral, buttered toast and vanilla spice flavors.
