Malibu Rocky Oaks 2009 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (Los Angeles County)

  1. $28
A surprisingly perfumed, well-integrated and delicious Cab from the Santa Monica Mountains, where newcomer Howard Leight is starting to craft some superb juice. With some room to grow, this wine has plenty of elegant red plum and anise and its tannins are present but not overwhelming. Grab a steak and give it a go, especially at the price.  — V.B.  (3/1/2012)

Malibu Rocky Oaks 2009 Syrah (Los Angeles County)

  1. $27
Dark and berrylicious, a Syrah with leather, cedar and mint undertones that’s both dense and rustic. Its dark plum, boysenberry and blueberry flavors long and lingering on the finish.  — V.B.  (4/1/2012)

Malibu Rocky Oaks 2009 Cabernet Franc (Los Angeles County)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $27
Lighter than Malibu Oak’s Cabernet Sauvignon, this Cab Franc shows the variety’s characteristic herby notes and is otherwise easy and light, with enough depth to pair well with a range of meats.  — V.B.  (4/1/2012)

Malibu Rocky Oaks 2010 Chardonnay (Los Angeles County)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $24
This stainless-steel Chardonnay from above Malibu starts out light, tasting of grapefruit and orange, and is fairly crisp with a nice dollop of anise, but finishes too tart, almost sour as if it’s been oddly acidified.  — V.B.  (3/1/2012)
