Screw Kappa Napa 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
- Best Buy
- Online Exclusive
- $14
Re-released a year after its debut, this wine has become more subtle and nuanced with bottle age. It's one of the better Cabs you'll find at this price, with polished blackberry, currant, cherry, mocha and vanilla-oaky flavors, a villages-type wine from California's most distinguished Cabernet region. Don't let the screwtop bother you one bit.

Screw Kappa Napa 2005 Sauvignon Blanc (Napa Valley)
- $14
SKN hits the mark again with this crisp, clean, elegantly complex Sauvignon Blanc. It’s so food friendly. With its racy acidity and wild berry, citrus and herb flavors, it’s a natural for everything from chicken, (fried or roasted) to halibut, to a grapefruit salad with raspberry vinaigrette.

Screw Kappa Napa 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
- $14
This is a really good Cab: balanced, clean, varietally pure and elegant. It’s designed to accompany, rather than overshadow, even the best food. Shows its Napa pedigree in the wonderful interplay of all parts, especially the beautiful tannins and dryness.

- $12
From Don Sebastiani & Sons, a polished, interesting wine, with cherry, leather, dried spice, lavender and tree bark aromas. Turns lush, long and rich, with candy-cherry, vanilla flavors and a silky texture.

Screw Kappa Napa 2005 Chardonnay (Napa Valley)
- $14
Racy and crisp, this has an earthy quality to it, like herbs that have been scattered onto ripe tangerines, pineapples and mangoes. It’s really an interesting wine, and the acidity makes it food-friendly.

Screw Kappa Napa 2006 Old Vine Zinfandel (Napa Valley)
- $14
Here’s a big, bold, lip-smacking Zin from Napa Valley. It shows ripe berry, cola, pepper, licorice and cocoa flavors, and is full-bodied and drily tannic. Great with pizza, enchiladas or Swedish meatballs.

Screw Kappa Napa 2002 Merlot (Napa Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $12
Some minty notes add nuance to this wine’s black cherry, plum and spice aromas and flavors. Brown sugar and allspice notes on the finish balance the wine’s assertive tannins.
