Latcham 2000 Sauvignon Blanc (El Dorado)
- Best Buy
- $12
What a value. Bright and crisp and eye-opening, with green grass, gooseberry, lemon and lime flavors, and a tangy bite of mineral from the earth. This dry, edgy wine just scours the palate with its tart acids. Best Buy. —S.H.

Latcham 1999 Zinfandel (El Dorado)
- $18
Dark, young and robust, it’s a classic Foothills Zin, with intensely ripe fruit, ultrasoft tannins and acids, and rather rustic mouthfeel. That’s not a put-down. The wild berry flavors are delicious and the wine is a joy to drink right through the long, sweet finish.

Latcham 2001 Special Reserve Zinfandel (El Dorado)
- $25
Spicy plum and raspberry notes kick off here, followed by hints of licorice, coffee and herbs. The wine is tangy on the finish, with mildly firm tannins.

Latcham 2000 Special Reserve Zinfandel (Fair Play)
- $25
Inky black, a massive Zin marked by excessive tannins that make the fruit almost impossible to appreciate now. You either have to age this for a long time, or drink it with grilled foods. Big, rustic, a country-style wine, and very dry.

Latcham 2007 Special Reserve Barbera (Sierra Foothills)
- Online Exclusive
- $30
Old-fashioned Barbera, and seems pricey for a wine this dry, tannic and acidic. The coffee and black currant flavors are very tart. Needs superrich meats and cheeses to soften it.

Latcham 2007 Estate Special Reserve Zinfandel (Fair Play)
- Online Exclusive
- $30
An acidic, drily harsh, peppery wine. Even for a Foothills Zinfandel, it’s pretty rustic, with an old-fashioned toughness that requires plenty of olive oil, mozzarella and rich beef to mellow.
— S.H.
