Hunnicutt 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon (Oakville)

Price $75

Strong Oakville tannins mark this 100% Cabernet, although they’re so ripely sweet, you can negotiate them now, especially considering the opulence of the fruit. Blackberries, cassis and dark chocolate just begin to describe the flavors. They’re as sweet as a dessert pastry, but the finish is utterly dry, a magic trick the best red wines pull off. Beautiful now… — S.H. (5/1/2012)

Hunnicutt 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon (Rutherford)

Price $75

Made from 100% Cabernet, this wine hits all the right notes. It’s fantastically rich and ripe, with flavors of sweet cherries, cassis and dark chocolate, while oak brings delicious notes of buttered toast. The tannins are complex, but so soft you can enjoy this wine now, although it should develop for at least a decade. — S.H. (5/1/2012)

Hunnicutt 2009 9-3-5 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)

Price $125

This barrel selection aptly defines Hunnicutt’s style of ripe, sweetly concentrated fruit. It’s enormous in blackberry and cherry notes, yet has layers of herb, spice and oak that prevent it from being a mere fruit bomb. Sourced from St. Helena, Rutherford and Oakville grapes, it’s a fancy wine to drink over the next eight years with great beef entrées. — S.H. (12/1/2012)

Hunnicutt 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon (Rutherford)

Online Exclusive

Price $85

One sip is all it takes to delight. This wine screams Napa Cabernet with every nuance. Few wines achieve this richness of fruit and tannins. It floods the mouth with blackberry jam, chocolate and cassis liqueur flavors, wrapped into firm but supple tannins, and brightened with a squirt of citrusy acidity. Beautiful now, and should develop over the next decade. — S.H. (5/1/2013)

Hunnicutt 2006 9-3-5 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)

Price $85

Quite a good, distinguished Cabernet. It’s rich and robust, with explosive blackberry and currant flavors, liberally coated with smoky oak, that finish in a swirl of chocolate. Most exquisite are the tannins, so pure and refined. The name refers to the number of barrels in the blend, which comes from St. Helena, Rutherford and Spring Mountain. — S.H. (9/1/2010)

Hunnicutt 2008 Chardonnay (Napa Valley)

Editors' Choice

Price $35

A beautiful Chardonnay for drinking now. It’s dry and crisp, with pineapple, peach and pear flavors accented with vanilla oak and creaminess from lees aging. Despite the richness, there’s a firm minerality, a tang of steel that makes the wine bracing. The grapes are from a vineyard in the southerly, cool Coombsville area, an area that needs its own appellation. — S.H. (9/1/2010)

Hunnicutt 2008 9-3-5 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)

Cellar Selection

Price $90

Another fine 9-3-5 Cabernet from Hunnicutt. The numbers symbolize the proprietors’ wedding date. It’s a splendid wine, if a little too young. Toasty oak and tannins dominate, but way underneath is a vast, sweet network of blackberries and black currants. You can certainly decant it for a few hours and enjoy now, but this is a wine that should age seriously for a… — S.H. (3/1/2012)

Hunnicutt 2009 Chardonnay (Napa Valley)

Online Exclusive

Price $38

This is a terrific Chardonay, one of the best from Napa Valley, and it happens to be from the cooler Coombsville area. It’s dry and crisp in acidity, which nicely balances the flamboyantly oaked peach, green apple and herb flavors that are beautifully wrapped into a buttery, creamy texture. — S.H. (4/1/2011)
