Robledo 2006 Fifth Edition Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
- $80
Made in the modern cult style, this Cabernet is softly luscious, oaky and enormously rich. It shows ripe, almost sweet flavors of blackberries, raspberries and cassis, and ends with a spicy finish. A big, powerfully luscious wine that could pick up bottle complexities over the next few years.

Robledo 2007 El Rey Cabernet Sauvignon (Red Hills Lake County)
- $38
Another lovely Cab out of Red Hills Lake County, with nice tart cherry and dusty flavors, this wine is still quite tannic with good structure to age. The Sonoma-based Robledo family is making more and more wine from Red Hills, this one a tribute to patriarch Reynaldo "El Rey" Robledo.

Robledo 2007 Los Braceros Red (Sonoma Valley)
- $30
A delicious, easy wine to drink now. It’s soft and fruity, with lots of candied raspberries, blackberries, anise, cocoa and spices. The wine is a tribute to the Braceros, Mexicans who were invited to California to work the fields during World War II.

Robledo 2008 Rancho Rincon Pinot Noir (Los Carneros)
- $40
Huge in flavor, with massive flavors of sweet, ripe raspberries and cherries. Oak barrel aging is evident, giving even richer layers of vanilla and caramel. Delicious and spicy, if a little obvious. Drink now.

Robledo 2008 Chardonnay (Los Carneros)
- Online Exclusive
- $38
A rich wine, flamboyant and generous, but there’s too much oak. It reeks of butterscotch, caramel, crème brûlée and vanilla flavors. Underneath all that is fine good pineapple and pear fruit.

Robledo 2000 Pinot Noir (Carneros)
- $27
Quite cherry-like in the nose. On the palate, it’s smooth and fairly silky, packing more bright cherry flavors, tinged with vanilla and spice. A bit peppery on the finish. Not complex, but quite pleasant.

Robledo 2002 The Seven Brothers Sauvignon Blanc (Lake County)
- $12
A mild-mannered Sauvignon Blanc, with a hint of candied lemon peel at its core. Acidity seems a bit low for this variety, while the simple flavors come up short.
