Imagery 1999 Sunny Slope Vineyard Merlot (Sonoma Valley)

Price $29

Dark and extracted, with jammy berry flavors and a strongly earthy component, including tobacco, sage and tree bark. In the mouth this wine is very dry and pretty tannic, although the acidity is soft. A bit awkward, and not likely to improve in the cellar. — S.H. (8/1/2003)

points

Imagery 1999 Ash Creek Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon (Alexander Valley)

Price $35

Simple and earthy, with coffee and spiced plum flavors. Curiously lean and one-dimensional for such a great vintage. The tannins are soft and melted and acids are also easy. — S.H. (8/1/2003)

points

Imagery 2001 Sangiovese (Dry Creek Valley)

Price $22

This is a big, toughly tannic wine. Deep down inside the astringency are very ripe and exuberant black cherry flavors. The finish once again turns tannic. The wine is unlikely to age. — S.H. (11/15/2004)

points

Imagery 2001 Petit Verdot (Sonoma County)

Price $33

A blending grape, on its own this very dark wine is super-fruity and somewhat one-dimensional. Shy in aroma, the major impacts are the plummy flavor and thick tannins. — S.H. (12/1/2004)

points

Imagery 2002 Sunny Slope Vineyard Merlot (Sonoma Valley)

Price $35

Good as it is, this wine is having acidity problems, meaning it’s overly soft and melted. Yes, it has delicious flavors of black cherries, chocolate and oak, and the tannins are smooth and luxurious, but what about balance? — S.H. (12/15/2005)

points

Imagery 2006 Artist Collection Tempranillo (High Valley)

Price $39

Good, fleshy flavors of tart cherries in this dry wine. Yet it lacks structural integrity, as it is too soft and melted. Drink now. — S.H. (12/15/2010)

points

Imagery 2008 Malbec (Red Hills Lake County)

Online Exclusive

Price $37

Though it hits the right notes of blueberry and plum, this Malbec is otherwise nondescript, hailing from the Red Hills Lake County subregion of the larger Lake County, where Cabernet Sauvignon has done particularly well. — V.B. (2/1/2012)

points

Imagery 2000 Artist Collection Sangiovese (Sonoma County)

Price $22

Black cherry, herb, spice and smoky leather notes are framed in a wine that feels silky smooth on the palate, with a nice edge of tannins. It’s fully dry. Turns thin in the middle, rough on the finish. From Dry Creek Valley. — S.H. (4/1/2004)
