Pope Valley Winery 2006 Eakle Ranch Sangiovese (Napa Valley)

  1. $18
Marked by dryness and rich acidity, this light- to medium-bodied Sangiovese has ripe flavors of red cherries and orange rind, with a tarry, asphalt or pine cone smoky spiciness. Good with steak and lamb chops. Drink now.  — S.H.  (12/31/2008)

Pope Valley Winery 2004 Eakle Ranch Merlot (Napa Valley)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $20
Dry and tart in acids, with herb, blackberry and bitter dark chocolate flavors that finish with a tannic scour. More Bordeaux-like than Californian in the earthiness, but it’s a polished wine. Decanting and food will soften and sweeten it.  — S.H.  (2/1/2007)
