Michael Pozzan 1997 Reserve Red (Napa Valley)
- Best Buy
- $13
A small Napa producer without cult status-lucky for us, or the price would be double. It has soft plum aromas, with round, juicy, plummy flavors. Well-balanced and deliciously appealing for drinking through 2004.

Michael Pozzan 2003 Special Reserve Sauvignon Blanc (Napa Valley)
- Best Buy
- Online Exclusive
- $9
One of the more surprising aspects of the glut is the quantity and quality of inexpensive Napa Valley wines. Michael Pozzan, whose forebears began growing grapes in California in the 1800s, has his own 50,000-case winery in Oakville. The Reserve line represents value across several varieties. This dry, stylish Sauvignon is citrusy and figgy, with great elegance…

Michael Pozzan 2002 Annabella Special Selection Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
- $15
A fine Cab whose balance and slight earthiness will enhance, not swamp, food. Delicately structured, with cherry, cassis, oak and tobacco flavors, and rich tannins.

Michael Pozzan 2005 Sawyer Vineyards Sauvignon Blanc (Lake County)
- Best Buy
- $10
Pozzan is an Oakville-based brand, a négociant, really, that frequently offers value. This single-vineyard wine is rich and dry in citrus, apricot and fig flavors, with a refreshing minerality leading to a tartly clean finish. It shows why Lake County has a reputation for Sauvignon Blanc. The wine has a modest 12.5 percent of alcohol, and is one-quarter Sémillon.

Michael Pozzan 2006 Oakville Cuvée Zinfandel (Napa Valley)
- $22
Pozzan turns his attention to Zinfandel, with good results. The wine shows crisp acidity, rich tannins and brambly flavors of blackberries, cherries, milk chocolate, pepper, cloves and vanilla. So ripe, it tastes sweet, but this Zin is fundamentally dry.

Michael Pozzan 2002 Annabella Special Selection Merlot (Napa Valley)
- $14
An easy drinking Merlot that’s a little sweet, but not too much. It has oak and cherry-chocolate flavors, and the tannins are smooth and polished.

Michael Pozzan 2003 Annabella Special Selection Chardonnay (Napa Valley)
- $12
Super-oaky, just oozing high char and sweet caramel. Underneath is ripe tropical fruit, with a sweet finish. If you like this style, it’s a good value.

Michael Pozzan 2007 Special Reserve Chardonnay (Russian River Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $14
Oaky and direct in ripe tropical fruit, with a gooseberry taste more akin to Sauvignon Blanc, this Chard is unripe and simple.
