Jacuzzi 2008 Estate Merlot (Carneros)
- Editors' Choice
- $16
Lots to like in this dry, smooth Merlot. It’s an earthy wine, with dried herb, black cherry and cedar flavors wrapped into firm tannins. Good price for the quality.

Jacuzzi 2006 Pinot Noir (Carneros)
- Online Exclusive
- $20
Smooth and silky, this Pinot has rather simple but likeable flavors of cherries, cola and spices. It’s dry, with some bitterness in the finish. Tasted several times, with considerable bottle variation.

Jacuzzi 2007 Barbera (Mendocino County)
- $18
Bring on the burgers and veal parmesan for this dry, exuberant table wine. It’s tannic, with earthy flavors of cherries, currants, tobacco and oodles of peppery spice.

Jacuzzi 2009 Pinot Noir (Sonoma Coast)
- Online Exclusive
- $20
Not much going on in this wine. It’s dry and crisp and properly silky, but watered down, with modest cherry and cola flavors.

Jacuzzi 2009 Primitivo (Lake County)
- Online Exclusive
- $22
Something is lacking in this, which has a dominant aroma of baked bread and savory mushrooms. Tannic and oaky, its year spent in American oak, 30% of that new, hasn’t done it many favors.

Jacuzzi 2006 Morine Ranch Primitivo (Lake County)
- $20
Built like a Zinfandel, this hearty red wine is filled with wild berry, pepper and clove flavors, and is dry. It’s a bit angular and harsh in tannins. Fine with barbecue and beef stew.

Jacuzzi 2010 Arneis (California)
- $16
Bone dry and high in acidity, this wine has mineral-dominated flavors of citrus fruits and herbs. It’s a good cocktail wine, and will pair well with spicy Asian-style foods.

Jacuzzi 2005 Rosso di Sette Fratelli Merlot (Sonoma Coast)
- Online Exclusive
- $20
Ripeness was not an issue, but balance was, in this jammy, almost sweet wine. It tastes like melted raspberry, cherry and blackberry jelly. Finishes technically dry, but palate sweet.
