Materra 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $65
A stunningly good, young Cabernet, marked by rich, ripe flavors of blackberries, black currant and cedar flavors, wrapped into strong but fine tannins. Lovely and sweet now, with some decanting, and should develop bottle complexity over the next 6–8 years.

Materra 2007 Merlot (Oak Knoll)
- Online Exclusive
- $48
The wine, which contains percentages of the Cabs Sauvignon and Franc, is rich in berry and cherry flavors. It’s very dry, with pronounced but smooth tannins. Feels a bit young and jammy now, so give it 3–4 years in the cellar.

Materra 2010 Chardonnay (Oak Knoll)
- $22
Tremendously rich in tangerine flavors, brightened with crisp citrus acidity, this is a Chardonnay to drink as an afternoon cocktail, with savory little appetizers. It’s not complicated, but it sure is easy to like.

Materra 2010 Viognier (Oak Knoll)
- $28
Lots of acidity in this Viognier, which gives it a mouthwatering savoriness. The tropical fruit and honey flavors are spicy and exotic. Good as a cocktail sipper.

Materra 2010 Sauvignon Blanc (Oak Knoll)
- $18
Here’s a brisk, clean Sauvignon Blanc, packed with ripe flavors of lemons, limes, apricots, peaches and green apples. Good and savory, but a little too sugary sweet for comfort.

Materra 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $65
Simple and soft, with jammy berry-cherry flavors and lots of oak. Finishes sweet. Easy to drink, but that’s about all.

Materra 2008 Merlot (Oak Knoll)
- Online Exclusive
- $48
A disagreeable wine, unripe and vegetal, with just a trace of blackberries. Sweet toasty oak adds a little richness.
