  • Best Buy
  1. $10
This screwcapped Cab means business from the start, with its arresting blast of delicious black pepper, coffee and spice. On the palate, it’s a little less grounded and tends toward a less complex, fruity character, but overall, offers good, standard Cabernet flavors at a palatable price.  — S.K.  (6/1/2008)

Diamond River 2006 Sauvignon Blanc (Lutzville Valley)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $10
A flinty, crisp and restrained minerality leads, clearly reflecting the soil from which it is produced. Hints of tropical fruit and citrus give the wine character but it tends toward austere overall. With seafood or a lively vinaigrette salad, the wine shows promise.  — S.K.  (3/1/2008)
