Rued 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon (Dry Creek Valley)
- $45
Here’s a juicy, deliciously drinkable Cab. It’s wonderfully ripe and rich, showing flavors of wild blackberries, black cherries, mocha, anise and cedar, with a wild, herbal streak of chamomile tea and peppermint. One of the best Cabs of the vintage from Dry Creek Valley.

Rued 2006 Zinfandel (Dry Creek Valley)
- Editors' Choice
- $25
Very good Dry Creek Zin, robust and dry and spicy. Really gets the tastebuds watering, with its tart flavors of sour cherry candy, red currants, blueberries, tart raisins and oodles of peppery spices. Drink this lusty wine with barbecue.

Rued 2009 Sauvignon Blanc (Dry Creek Valley)
- Editors' Choice
- $16
Appeals for its dryness, crispness and overall balance. Really elegant, with low alcohol and tantalizing citrus, gooseberry, pepper and vanilla flavors. The price makes it a good value.

Rued 2007 Sauvignon Blanc (Dry Creek Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $16
This wine doesn’t miss not having any oak, because the flavors are rich enough on their own. Backed up with crisp acidity, it offers a wealth of Meyer lemons, pineapples, ripe pears, peaches, lemongrass and spices. Try with a salad of bitter greens, shallots, grapefruit and garlic shrimp.

Rued 2007 Chardonnay (Russian River Valley)
- $18
There’s not much, if any, oak on this Chardonnay, leaving the fresh, clean fruit flavors to star. Shows a rich array of pineapples, Meyer lemons, yellow apricots and peaches, with spicy, vanilla overtones. Elegant, and a good buy at this price.

Rued 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon (Dry Creek Valley)
- $45
Shows the briary, scoury mouthfeel that so often characterizes Dry Creek Valley red wines, as opposed to the smooth lushness of neighboring Napa Valley. The flavors are just fine, of wild blackberries, cherries and cola. Drink over the next six years.

Rued 2008 Estate Grown Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley)
- $28
A good Pinot, ripe and fruity and dry. It shows real elegance in the silky texture and crisp acids, as well as rich flavors of raspberries, cherries, cocoa and spices. Drink it now for maximum enjoyment.

Rued 2010 Sauvignon Blanc (Dry Creek Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $16
Perfectly acceptable for a Sauvignon Blanc, with the acidity you want in the variety to brighten the ripe citrus, green apple and tropical fruit flavors. Two minor quibbles are a slight spritziness and a candy-sweet finish, but it’s pretty nice for the price.
