Ruston 2002 La Maestra Red Wine (St. Helena)
- Editors' Choice
- $50
A Cabernet-based Bordeaux blend, and what a nice wine it is. Rich in cherry, raspberry, cassis and mocha flavors, but saved from simple fruit overload by good acidity and finely ground, though sizable, tannins. Has the structure to age though 2015.

Ruston 2000 Merlot (St. Helena)
- $30
A richly textured, luscious Merlot that’s loaded with ripe plum, prune, black cherry, coffee, chocolate, toast, licorice, herb and spice flavors. Smooth, lush and delicious. A full-bodied wine that’s top notch for this varietal.

Ruston 2004 La Maestra Red (St. Helena)
- $50
Not quite as rich and balanced as in past vintages, the 2004 is a bit ordinary in blackberry and cherry flavors. The tannins are fairly powerful, and the wine, which clocks in at over 15% alcohol, feels hot and peppery.
