ForestVille 2000 Sonoma Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (Alexander Valley)
- $12
A little fruity, a little weedy, a bit tannic, totally dry, and an easy sipper. What’s not to like? Will do just fine with that steak, and it’s a great price for a Cabernet from this top appellation.

ForestVille 2000 Sonoma Reserve Merlot (Alexander Valley)
- $12
A Julia Roberts of a Merlot, pretty and innocent, maybe a little clueless. But who cares? It’s fruity, dry, and fun, and even has some layers of complexity. Best of all, it doesn’t cost too much. Drink up!

ForestVille 2002 Sonoma Reserve Chardonnay (Russian River Valley)
- $12
This reserve-style wine, which is richer than the winery’s regular release, offers lots of bang for your buck. Ripe and juicy in peach and apple flavors that are well oaked, with a long, spicy finish.

ForestVille 2004 Sauvignon Blanc
- Best Buy
- $6
Don’t think that the price means this isn’t a good wine. Lots of fruity finesse and satisfaction. It’s dry and crisp, with long, ripe citrus and fig flavors and such a nice, clean mouthfeel.

ForestVille 2003 Gewürztraminer
- Best Buy
- $6
Lots of true varietal character in this versatile, tasty wine, with ripe fruit, crisp acids and loads of tingly cinnamon and nutmeg spice. Technically dry, but sweet in peaches and wildflowers. A nice value.

ForestVille 2003 Shiraz
- Best Buy
- $6
Surprisingly good for the price; here’s a domestic Syrah to take on the hordes of Aussie imports. Light in body, but features the things consumers seem to be looking for in a basic red: cherry fruit accented by caramel and vanilla. Notes of chocolate, cedar and herb chime in on the finish.

ForestVille 2003 Reserve Pinot Noir (Sonoma County)
- $16
Shows restraint in the reined-in cherry and herb flavors and modest oak, but it’s not a simple wine. It has layers of interest that drink dry and balanced.

ForestVille 1999 Cabernet Sauvignon
- Best Buy
- $6
Smells hot and vegetal, with aromas suggesting canned asparagus, although there are some riper blackberry flavors in the mouth. Very dry and properly structured, with a dusty finish.
