Mauritson
Mauritson 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon (Sonoma County)
- $35
A sweet, rather heavy wine. Cabernets hardly get riper than this, with its massive, jammy cherry, raspberry and blackberry fruit. Delicious, but one-dimensional. Drink now.

Mauritson 2001 Zinfandel (Dry Creek Valley)
- $24
Somewhat tight, with smoky licorice, blackberry, coffee and tar flavors. Could open with time, but for the moment it only hints at what may come.

Mauritson 2008 Madrone Spring Vineyard Petite Sirah (Rockpile)
- Online Exclusive
- $37
Fans of great big wines will like it, but this Petite Sirah is unbalanced, with heat from high alcohol compounding the acidity, making the mouhtfeel prickly. The berry flavors are overripe, running into raisins and chocolate.

Mauritson 2011 Sauvignon Blanc (Dry Creek Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $21
With an aggressive smell and taste, this Sauvignon Blanc isn’t entirely ripe, a victim of the chilly vintage. Although it shows some decent citrus and gooseberry flavors, with clean, tart acidity.
