Cobblestone 2004 Cobblestone Vineyard Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (Atlas Peak)
- Online Exclusive
- $69
At the age of about five years, this Cab is quite soft and dry, and the fruit is just beginning to show development. It’s changing from fresh blackberries and cherries to dried fruits and currants, with a dusty quality. The oak brings in sweetly welcome notes. Should glide into maturity through 2012.

Cobblestone 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
- $39
The grapes are from Atlas Peak; this may be the ripest Cab I’ve ever had from that mountain. It’s rich and deep in blackberry, cherry, blueberry and chocolate pie filling, and is very soft and luscious. Complex now, it should hold for five to seven years.

Cobblestone 2005 Chardonnay (Arroyo Seco)
- $29
Tastes superoaky, with a heavy layer of wood spice and butterscotchy char, but the underlying fruit is powerful enough to support it. The pineapple tart, peach custard and cinnamon flavors are crisp and juicy with acidity.

Cobblestone 2005 Cobblestone Vineyard Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
- Cellar Selection
- $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 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
- $39
A very rich Cabernet, with blackberry, cassis and coffee flavors streaked through with vanilla and smoky oak notes. Dry with fairly thick tannins, this wine is just what you want with broiled steak or lamb chops.

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.

Cobblestone 2009 Te Muna Pinot Noir (Martinborough)
- $50
This is a full-bodied wine with completely soft tannins and relatively high (14.9%) alcohol, which impart a round, ample feel in the mouth. Lush cherry fruit is complemented by hints of beet greens and slightly bitter coffee or chocolate. Drink now and over the next few years.

Cobblestone 2004 Chardonnay (Arroyo Seco)
- $29
A fresh, clean wine with lively acidity. This Chardonnay has lifted tangerine and pineapple flavors, plus a rich coat of oak that adds vanilla and buttered toast flavors. Drink now.
