Ramian 2005 Chapter Five Red (Napa Valley)
- $56
Deeply flavored and impressive, this intensely young, Cabernet-based Bordeaux blend hails from Mount Veeder. It has all the hallmarks of a wine that needs time in the cellar. The sweetly extracted black currant and licorice fruit is massive, and so is the cedary oak, which is 80% new French, while considerable mountain tannins give a hard, astringent mouthfeel…

Ramian 2006 J. Garrett Cabernet Sauvignon (Calistoga)
- Cellar Selection
- $85
Big, sturdy and extracted in blackberries, black currants and molasses, with a meaty edge, almost like a Syrah. The tannins are thick and furry and astringent, but the wine is flashy and complex. Hard now, but give it 5–6 years, and it could age well beyond that.

Ramian 2005 Cinnamon Hill Vineyard La Morra Red
- Editors' Choice
- $39
An ambitious and promising red wine, this blend of Dolcetto and Nebbiolo hails from El Dorado County. It’s soft and creamy and complex, with waves of mashed cherries, milk chocolate, oatmeal raisin cookie, beef jerky and pepper spice, but for all that, it’s dry and moderate in alcohol. This is a wine to watch in future vintages.

Ramian 2007 Chapter VII Cabernet Sauvignon (Mount Veeder)
- $59
Smells great and flashy, with inviting notes of blackberries, black currants, green olives and spicy sandalwood. Candied and sweet in the mouth, with blackberry and black cherry fruit. Tasted in March, 2011, the wine could well have been going through an awkward period. Should re-emerge by Fall and age well.
