Mario Perelli-Minetti 2005 Miriam Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
- $75
Shows the lush richness, dryness and complexity you want in a fine Napa Valley Cabernet. At more than six years of age, the tannins are just beginning to resolve, although they’re still pretty fierce. But the flavors are beautiful, showing classic blackberries, cassis, dark chocolate, plums and cedar. Drink now–2015.

Mario Perelli-Minetti 2000 Miriam Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
- $75
This is quite a serious Cabernet from a winery that hasn’t been too visible for a while. It’s intensely concentrated in cassis fruit, and well-oaked, and also fairly tannic and dry. Graceful and elegantly structured, it may well hold for a decade or more.

Mario Perelli-Minetti 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
- $23
Lots of ripe, pleasurable flavors of blackberries, black currants, dark chocolate, plums and oak in this dry, nicely structured Cabernet. It’s pretty tannic, though, with a tough astringency, and doesn’t have the fruit to outlast the tannins over time, so give it a decant and drink soon.

Mario Perelli-Minetti 2008 Pinot Noir (Sonoma Coast)
- Online Exclusive
- $31
With a nice, silky texture and flavors of cherries, pomegranates and cola, this Pinot has plenty to like. It loses a few points, though, for unripeness that mutes the fruit and makes the finish sharp.

Mario Perelli-Minetti 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $21
A little ordinary, but an okay Cab, although at this price you’ll do better elsewhere. Berries and herbs, with dry tannins on the finish.
