Crauford 2007 Highlander Sauvignon Blanc (Napa Valley)
- Editors' Choice
- $18
A beautiful wine that shows how Napa Valley is right up there with the best of California’s Sauvignon Blancs. Dry and crisp, it was made in the interesting way of combining stainless steel and oak for textural complexity. The citrus, lemongrass, fig and pepper flavors have a touch of buttercream and smoke in the finish.

Crauford 2006 Kiltlifter Zinfandel (Napa Valley)
- $32
Similar to last year’s bottling, this single-vineyard Zin shows lush flavors of briary wild blackberries, cherries and blueberries, sprinkled with dusty Asian spices, with hints of cocoa, pepper and anise liqueur. The tannic structure is pure Napa, classically rich and balanced.

Crauford 2005 Kilt Lifter Brown Vineyard Zinfandel (Napa Valley)
- $32
A great Zin from Napa, this shows the classic structure of a claret, but with Zin’s distinctive personality. Briary, brambly wild berries, mocha and masses of white pepper are the aromas and flavors.

Crauford 2006 Maroon Vineyard Highlander Sauvignon Blanc (Napa Valley)
- $16
There’s lots to like in this dry wine layered with fruit. Clean and pure, with little or no oak influence, it shows rich, fruity flavors of lemons, limes and peaches, with a pleasant honeysuckle complexity.

Crauford 2004 Maroon Vineyard Tattoo Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
- $38
Ripe to the point of mushy with hugely oaked, cooked, black currant and baked cherry-pie flavors. Needs more balance, elegance and harmony.
