Kelham 1999 Merlot (Oakville)
- Editors' Choice
- $45
Very dry, with plum, cherry and blackberry flavors, and hints of green olives, fresh herbs and tobacco. Has a great, sexy structure, with dusty tannins. Long on the finish. This is a wine for the cellar, although it’s beautiful now. Editors’ Choice. —S.H.

Kelham 1999 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (Oakville)
- $75
Deep, dark, brooding and delicious, a massive young Cabernet brimming with ripe flavors and superb tannins. A solid dose of toasty oak frames complex flavors of chocolate, herbs, blackberries, coffee and spice. The long, sweet finish is impressive. —S.H.

Kelham 2000 Cabernet Sauvignon (Oakville)
- $45
From an estate vineyard next to Martha’s and Opus One and just down the hill from Harlan, this Cab shows the true grace and harmony of its terroir. Well-ripened black currant fruit is framed in rich oak and offset by firm, sweet tannins.

Kelham 2001 Merlot (Oakville)
- $45
Grapes for this very distinctive Merlot used to go to Duckhorn. The wine is soft and sensual, showing red and black cherry fruit, with an edge of cocoa, and robust but sweet tannins. Should hold well for six years.

Kelham 2000 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (Oakville)
- $75
From hillside blocks in a prime Oakville location, this Cab is oakier and considerably more concentrated than Kelham’s regular ’00. It’s loaded upfront with cassis, black currant, red cherry and oaky flavors, and has rich, firm tannins. Drink now through 2010.

Kelham 2000 Sauvignon Blanc (Oakville)
- $22
A strongly flavored wine, grown in a high-rent Napa district. Fifty percent new French oak shows up in the aromas of toast, caramel and vanilla. The underlying fruit tastes of citrus and white peach. Finishes dry and clean. —S.H.
