Croze 2001 Sweetwater Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon (Oak Knoll)
- $28
This full-bodied wine has a taste of wild herbs, especially lavender, and a robust, silky texture. It’s dry, with brambly flavors, and more Rhône-like than a Napa Cab. Has the balance and complexity for fine foods.

Croze 2004 Robbins Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
- $35
At the age of four this Cab is probably at its best. It’s a good, solid wine, dry and full-bodied, offering true varietal character. The flavors of blackberries, currants and chocolate are wrapped into firm tannins.

Croze 2004 Rosé of Cabernet Sauvignon (Suisun Valley)
- $14
Dark for a rose, full-bodied and very dry, with flavors of rosés and blackberry tea. There’s a rich, intense finish of berries.

Croze 2007 Monte Lago Vineyards Sauvignon Blanc (Clear Lake)
- Online Exclusive
- $20
Despite the single-vineyard designation and relatively high price, this is a simple Sauvignon Blanc, with direct flavors of pineapple jam, fig and smoky vanilla. The main problem is excessive sweetness.

Croze 2005 Vin d'Une Nuit Rosé of Cabernet Sauvignon (Suisun Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $14
Sweet, with cooked pie filling cherry and raspberry flavors and a slight vegginess. Soft acidity adds to the mouthfeel of flabbiness.

Croze 1999 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
- $35
Dark in color, but it opens with clumsy aromas of vegetables, and the flavors are lean and alcoholic. Seems more like an unripe 1998 than a ’99. The austerity merely accentuates the acids and tannins.

Croze 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon Port (Suisun Valley)
- $25
Sweetness isn’t the problem here. The wine is powerful in late harvest, caramelized sugar. The issue is concentration. The fruit is thin, leaving high alcohol to star.
