McNab Ridge 2000 Meritage (Mendocino County)
- $20
What’s likeable about this Bordeaux blend is its dryness. It doesn’t slam you with over-the-top, extracted fruit, but is controlled in its herb and blackberry flavors and smooth but firm tannins.

McNab Ridge 2009 Napoli Vineyard Pinotage (Mendocino)
- Online Exclusive
- $20
Tannic but still juicy, this is a very interesting example of California Pinotage made by Rich Parducci, the son of Mendocino winemaking pioneer John Parducci. Dark and full-bodied, the wine tastes like a ripe, jammy blackberry pie with a smidgen of clove, though there’s not much else that’s subtle about this wine. Worth trying.

McNab Ridge 1999 John H. Parducci Signature Series Mendotage Meritage (Mendocino)
- $35
A a lip-smackingingly good, limited edition Bordeaux blend from a veteran producer. It's as ripe as can be, very gentle and filled with juicy berry flavors. The upfront fruit is packaged in soft tannins, while acids seem stronger than Napa-Sonoma. The wine has real bite.

McNab Ridge 2003 Sauvignon Blanc (Mendocino)
- $12
Sweet, fresh grass, lemon and lime, fig and vanilla mark this dry wine. It has a pleasantly clean streak of acidity to offset the fruity flavors.

McNab Ridge 2004 Sauvignon Blanc (Mendocino)
- $12
Pleasant in ripe peach, citrus, vanilla and spice flavors, this dry, fruity wine is furnished with excellent acidity that makes it clean and bright. It’s an easy charmer at a fair price. Great with roasted chicken.

McNab Ridge 2006 Family Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (Mendocino)
- Online Exclusive
- $40
Gritty and tannic, with oaky-sweet, ripe flavors of blackberry and cherry jam. This full-bodied Cabernet is at its best now.

McNab Ridge 1997 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (Mendocino County)
- $18
This is the kind of wine that farmers have drunk for centuries. It's red and full-bodied. It's dry and balances dark berry and stone fruit flavors with earthy tones. It's fairly tannic, with a crisp backbone of acidity, and it will probably age forever because it's so balanced. And it's rustic.
