H. Gray 1999 Cabernet Sauvignon (Yountville)
- Editors' Choice
- $25
From estate vineyards and winemaker Celia Welch Masyczek, a gorgeous Cabernet with the kind of tannin structure you expect from a great vintage in Napa Valley. Deep, impressive flavors of blackcurrants, but it’s pretty tannic now and requires up to a decade to soften. At today’s prices, this one is a relative bargain.

H. Gray 2000 Bad Boy Red Syrah-Cabernet (Yountville)
- Online Exclusive
- $18
From this southerly Napa Valley district, a modern field blend of Syrah, Petite Sirah and Cabernet Sauvignon that has some real pedigree and finesse despite its size. It is a big, young, tannic, dry wine, dark in color, with a deep streak of blackberry fruit. It will age.

H. Gray 2000 Cabernet Sauvignon (Yountville)
- $34
Fate conspired against this wine. Its cool, southerly Napa location joined up with the inclement harvest to keep ripeness away. The wine is well-oaked, but hard and firm, without the core of fruit needed to age. Disappointing.

H. Gray 2001 Bad Boy Zinfandel (Amador County)
- $20
If you call your wine “Bad Boy,” you’d better back it up with some bad-ass flavor. This is a nice enough wine, but hardly “bad.” Somewhat candy-like, with cherry cough syrup and spice up front and hints of smoke and licorice on the finish. A bit cloying at the end.
