Magito 2006 Rivertrace Sauvignon Blanc (North Coast)
- Editors' Choice
- $18
This is quite an interesting wine, and it just shows how a little creative blending can lift an ordinary wine up. The dominant Sauvignon Blanc brings the usual citrus and grassy acidity, while 8% of Viognier adds flowery perfume, and 10% Verdelho brings more acidity and a lemongrass, green apple edge. Terrific, versatile food wine.

Magito 2005 The Highlands Red (Sonoma County)
- $18
Not quite enough Cabernet Sauvignon in this wine to varietally label it, and kudos to the winemaker for blending in Merlot and Cab Franc, which increases complexity. Fully ready to drink now, the wine is dry and succulent in cherries, blackberries, cocoa and new oaky flavors, with a rich tug of tannins.

Magito 2007 Sauvignon Blanc (North Coast)
- $17
With a splash of Viognier, which brings a flowery, exotic note, and Verdelho, this wine is crisp, rich and likeable. It’s a little sweet, with lemon and lime candy flavors, but shows fine, balancing acidity.

Magito 2005 Panorama Zinfandel (California)
- $18
A little overripe, with some stewed cherry and raisin flavors and richer notes of chocolate and vanilla. But it’s dry and not too alcoholic, with a good structure of rich tannins and acidity. Contains some Cabernet, Syrah, Sangiovese, Merlot and Petite Sirah.

Magito 2006 Panorama Zinfandel (California)
- $18
A good, everyday Zin that shows off the variety’s brawny, burly character. With wild berry, mocha and spice flavors and rich, thick tannins, it cries out for a grilled steak.

Magito 2006 Red (Sonoma County)
- Online Exclusive
- $18
Harsh and overripe, with raisiny, pruny flavors that finish dry and bitter, with a trace of sweeter blackberries.
