Edgewood 1998 Reserve Malbec (Napa Valley)
- Editors' Choice
- $65
From a winery specializing in this rare Bordeaux variety, comes this sexy wine, rich and full-bodied. It spreads over the palate like velvet, spreading massive flavors of sweet cherry and chocolate. The tannins are soft and fully resolved.

Edgewood 2000 Nepenthes Vineyard Merlot (Napa Valley)
- $40
Only 182 cases were produced of this spectacularly ripe, juicy Merlot, which floods the palate with enormous flavors of blackberries, cherries, chocolate fudge, caramel and vanilla. The soft tannins are a wonder, the smoky oak perfectly applied.

Edgewood 1999 Tradition Red (Napa Valley)
- $35
A gorgeous blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec. The latter grape contributes lush, gooey black-cherry notes, while the Cab contributes familiar blackcurrant and cassis flavors. The result is a complex wine further accented with the smoke, wood spice and vanilla of fine oak barrels.

Edgewood 2001 Butala Vineyard Zinfandel (Napa Valley)
- $35
This terrific Zin impresses for its concentrated flavors and ultrarich tannins. Blackberries, cherries, plums and chocolate cascade in waves across the mouth, wrapped in the prettiest texture. It’s soft and firm at the same time. Drinks as smoothly rich as a good Cab, yet hangs onto Zin’s unique profile.

Edgewood 2001 Merlot (Napa Valley)
- $26
This dependable winery has produced another richly textured, smooth wine. It’s marked by cherry, chocolate, olive and herb flavors set off by polished, supple tannins. Displays restraint in the balance of its elements.

Edgewood 2000 Emmolo Vineyard Malbec (Napa Valley)
- $40
As good as Edgewood’s regular Malbec is, this almost black wine is better. The gooey cherry-pie flavors are riper and sweeter, the tannins are thicker and softer, and the oak is more notable. This is one of those wines whose flavors are so powerful they startle. It’s a killer with babyback ribs.

Edgewood 2000 Merlot (Napa Valley)
- $24
Hits all the right notes, with its splendid flavors of blackcurrants, cassis, chocolate, ripe plums, herbs and smoky vanilla. Glides across the palate with the softest imaginable tannins, like butter, but the structure is firm. Close your eyes and enjoy the long finish.

Edgewood 2000 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
- $50
Lots to admire in this fancy Napa Cab, with its focused currant and cassis flavors, elaborate but balanced overlay of toasty oak and sweet, rich tannins. There’s also a scour of acidity that prickles on the finish. Doesn’t overwhelm, but is easily able to stand up to fine cuisine.
