La Honda Winery 2006 Lonehawk Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon (Santa Cruz Mountains)
- Online Exclusive
- $43
A beautiful Cabernet in every respect. It’s full-bodied and dry, with focused black currant and cedar flavors wrapped into firm, dense mountain tannins. Shows the ability of these coastal mountains to ripen Cabernet Sauvignon to perfection. Now–2014.

La Honda Winery 2006 Windsor Oaks Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon (Chalk Hill)
- Online Exclusive
- $45
Made in a drier, earthier style than most modern Cabs, this one has herb-infused blackberry flavors, housed in firm but refined tannins. If you know the old Jordan Cabs, which aged well, it brings them to mind. Hold until after 2010 or beyond.

La Honda Winery 2010 Salinian Block Cabernet Sauvignon (Santa Cruz Mountains)
- Online Exclusive
- $34
Robust and flavorful, this offers plenty of blackberry jam flavor, with notes of salt and oak, plus powerful acidity. Doesn’t seem like an ager, so drink now with grilled meats.

La Honda Winery 2006 La Honda Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon-Sangiovese (Santa Cruz Mountains)
- Online Exclusive
- $26
Takes a fine mountain Cabernet and blends it with Sangiovese, which adds acidity and leather, and makes the tannins feel drier and harder, too. Not going anywhere.

La Honda Winery 2008 Lonehawk Cabernet Sauvignon (Santa Cruz Mountains)
- Online Exclusive
- $43
Despite having rich blackberry, cherry and currant flavors, this feels brittle. The acidity is strong and the tannins come across as a bit jarring. Drink up.

La Honda Winery 2010 Sequence Pinot Noir (Santa Cruz Mountains)
- Online Exclusive
- $32
A rich application of oak dresses up the flavors of red cherry, cola, pomegranate and persimmon. It’s dry and silky, yet there is a some sharpness.

La Honda Winery 2010 Chardonnay (Santa Cruz Mountains)
- Online Exclusive
- $24
This has oak, green apple, lime and mineral flavors that finish dry and acidic. A sound wine that lacks richness.

La Honda Winery 2006 Red Capsule South Pinot Noir (Santa Cruz Mountains)
- Online Exclusive
- $36
Good flavors of cherries, currants and spices, and properly dry and silky, but too acidic. Gives a chili pepper burn throughout. Ready now.
