Pelton House 2004 Merlot (Knights Valley)

Price $35

This is a new brand from Jess Jackson. The wine is quite interesting—absolutely dry, very tannic, acidic and austere, with a bitterness to the cherryskin flavors. Yet it possesses polish and elegance. Work is needed, but this is a Merlot to watch. — S.H. (10/1/2007)

Pelton House 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon (Knights Valley)

Price $40

Like many of Jess Jackson’s high mountain Cabs, this is extremely tannic and dry, at least by Napa standards. So is it ageable? Probably, given the rich heart of blackberry, cherry, violet flower and coffee flavors. But it’s a new brand, unproven. Give it until 2009, then try again. — S.H. (10/1/2007)
