Saddleback Cellars 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $64
Lush and delicious, this is rich with complex berry, currant, cola, spice and cedar flavors. It’s earthier and more rustic than the modern style of extreme softness and sweetness, but that’s exactly what gives it such charm.  — S.H.  (11/1/2012)

Saddleback Cellars 2007 Merlot (Napa Valley)

  1. $36
This is dry, medium bodied and extraordinarily rich, bearing flavors of baked black-cherry pie, mocha and grilled prosciutto, with a long, spicy finish. So what if it’s too soft, or if there’s a trace of overripeness? It’s all part of the wine’s personality.  — S.H.  (11/1/2012)

Saddleback Cellars 2004 Pinot Grigio (Oakville)

  1. $18
Imagine a PG as rich, creamy and complex as a great Chardonnay, with, of course, a different flavor profile. This wine is ripe in apple, apricot, nectarine, peach, fig and spice flavors, with a slightly sweet finish. But the acidity works to keep it clean and balanced.  — S.H.  (2/1/2006)

Saddleback Cellars 2010 Chardonnay (Napa Valley)

  1. $29
Made in the popular style, this has flavors of pineapple and orange jam, buttered toast and buttered popcorn. Its acidity and firm minerality save it from seeming sweet.  — S.H.  (11/1/2012)

Saddleback Cellars 2003 Sauvignon Blanc (Napa Valley)

  1. $20
Fully oaked, thus you get aromas of butter, vanilla and ultraripe melon. Plenty of smoke and butter carries onto the palate, where green apple and citrus come into the picture. Solidly structured, with more than enough wood to satisfy a hungry beaver.  — W.E.  (7/1/2005)
