HammerSky 2007 Party of Four Estate Grown Red (Paso Robles)
- Online Exclusive
- $59
This Bordeaux blend, based on equal parts Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, is softly opulent and ripe, in the way of many Paso Robles red wines. It floods the mouth with blackberries and currants, with spicy complexities from oak, and is fairly tannic, although not so much that a good steak won’t cut through it. Best Now–2012.

HammerSky 2007 A-List Estate Grown Red (Paso Robles)
- $49
Here’s a sturdy, somewhat country-style red wine with some superior qualities. Although it’s a bit rough in texture, it has bright, jammy flavors of black raspberries and cherries, with hints of cola and cocoa.

HammerSky 2007 Limited Resource Estate Grown Cabernet Sauvignon (Paso Robles)
- Online Exclusive
- $52
Basically characterized by gigantic fruit that leaves little to the imagination. Blackberries, cherries, cola and spicy plums explode in the mouth, and while the wine is technically dry, it’s sweet in fruity essence. Oak adds caramel and vanilla.

- $42
Jammy and sharp in acids, like liquid cherry and blackberry jam mixed with 14.8% of alcohol. Not particularly subtle, but offers a rich flood of ripe fruits spiced up with pepper, anise and cinnamon.

HammerSky 2008 Red Handed Merlot (Paso Robles)
- Online Exclusive
- $44
Soft and sweet, with a liqueur taste of raisins and crême de cassis. Dry, but hot. The official alcohol reading of 14.5% by volume tastes suspiciously low.
