Pure Cru 2007 PureCoz Red (Napa Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $65
This is a Bordeaux blend based on Cabernet Sauvignon, with a good chunk of Sangiovese. It’s a pleasant, rich wine, tough in tannins and acids, with concentrated cherry pie, blackberry and oak flavors. Doesn’t seem like an ager, so drink now with hearty foods.

Pure Cru 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $38
Made with a little Cabernet Franc and Merlot, this is a beautiful wine to drink now, although you might want to give it an hour or two in a decanter. It’s soft and luscious in blackberries, bluberries, currants and mocha, and feels fine through the long, spicy finish.

Pure Cru 2007 Sangio Vetta Sangiovese (California)
- Online Exclusive
- $25
A little overripe around the edges, with touches of raisins and prunes, but they don’t detract from the wine’s attractions. Dry and smooth in the mouth, its blackberry and anise flavors also feature Sangiovese’s bright acidity. Drink now.

Pure Cru 2009 Chardonnay (Napa Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $25
Takes the popular route, with caramelized oak and ripe fruit that taste sweet. Almost like a dessert wine, showing tangerine, vanilla and buttered toast flavors that pall after a sip or two.

Pure Cru 2009 Purety White (Napa Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $25
A Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon blend made in the white Bordeaux style, with lots of oak. Too much oak, in fact. The wine is dominated by smoky char and caramel, and tastes sweet in butterscotch.
