Elements of Sonoma 2004 E3 Red (Knights Valley)

  1. $42
A Bordeaux blend made from this high plateau between Sonoma County and Napa Valley. Tastes rugged and immature, with bright blackberry, currant and cedar flavors wrapped into tough tannins. Too powerful now. Try after 2010.  — S.H.  (4/1/2009)

Elements of Sonoma 2004 Tecolote Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon (Knights Valley)

  1. $39
Tastes as sweet as jam, namely the raspberry, cherry and blackberry kind, with melted chocolate and anise stirred in for good measure. Fortunately, adequate acidity provides much-needed balance. Drink now.  — S.H.  (4/1/2009)

Sharp in acids, with green mint flavors accompanying the black currants, this Cab is a bit rustic. Drink now.  — S.H.  (4/1/2009)

Sharp and jammy, with blackberry, cherry and black raspberry flavors that finish dry and tannic. It’s all upfront, so drink now.  — S.H.  (4/1/2009)

Elements of Sonoma 2004 Weeping Willow Vineyards Malbec (Sonoma Valley)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $42
Soft and direct, with sugary-sweet flavors of blackberries, currants, dark chocolate and smoky oak. The tannins are sizable, but a steak will cut right through them. Drink now.  — S.H.  (4/1/2009)
