Maisonry 2008 Stagecoach Vineyard Tempranillo (Napa Valley)
-
$42
There’s 5% Cabernet Franc in this Temp, which makes all the difference, bringing greater body and tannins to a variety that, on its own, can be simple. The cherry, cola and licorice flavors are accented with a touch of sandalwood, making for a lovely, medium-bodied red wine to drink now.

Maisonry 2010 Hanson-Hsieh Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc (Napa Valley)
-
$32
A nice, fruity Sauvignon Blanc, a little sweet and simple, but satisfying nonetheless for its array of ripe pineapple, citrus, lime, green apple and spice flavors, brightened with crisp acidity.
