Frostwatch 2007 Chardonnay (Bennett Valley)
- $30
This is the richest Frostwatch Chardonnay ever. It just explodes in the mouth, with waves of ripe pineapple, peach, pear, lemon custard and spice flavors. The oak influence offers richer elements of crème brûlée. Drink now for sheer opulence.

Frostwatch 2004 Merlot (Bennett Valley)
- $28
This is a wonderfully rewarding wine, rich, dry, soft and complex. The cherry, blackberry and mocha-vanilla oak flavors are deep and long, and the wine is totally beautiful now.

Frostwatch 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
- $46
Very dry and fairly tannic, with cassis flavors, this Cab is quite enjoyable now and should hold for a couple of years. It has an elegance and structural balance that bring to mind the pre-cult era of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon.

Frostwatch 2004 Chardonnay (Bennett Valley)
- $27
This is a very dry, tart Chardonnay, almost like a Fumé Blanc except that it’s richer and creamier. The flavors are of lemons and limes, and papayas that aren’t quite ripe. It’s a complex wine that will pick up interest as it warms up and plays against food.

Frostwatch 2005 Merlot (Bennett Valley)
- $22
Pretty good price for a nice, fancy Merlot. It’s made in a restrained style, with a firm, dry structure framing cherry, currant, tobacco, herb and cedar flavors.

Frostwatch 2007 Kismet White (Bennett Valley)
- $26
This is a blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon. It’s very clean and appealing, a wine to have on its own, or with fruity-spicy fare. Floods the mouth with crisp pineapple, lime and green apple flavors that have a honey-rich finish, but it’s really dry.

Frostwatch 2005 Zinfandel (Bennett Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $26
Crushed peppercorn aromas mark this dry, full-bodied Zin, along with all sorts of other racy spices. The alcohol is moderate, and the flavors kick in midpalate, suggesting berries, currants, tobacco, leather and coffee. A very nice example of a balanced, Sonoma Zinfandel with classic elegance.

Frostwatch 2006 Chardonnay (Bennett Valley)
- $30
A nice Chardonnay, with enough elegance to drink with fine food. Dry and crisp, it shows mineral-infused peach, lemon and pineapple flavors that are wrapped into quite a bit of smoky oak. Drink now.
