Silver Stone Winery 2005 Primal Red
- $42
A very nice wine that’s dry and smooth and satisfying, yet shows real layers of complexity. A blend of Syrah and Cabernet, it has interesting flavors of blackberries, currants, sweet leather, licorice and smoky oak, with a long, spicy finish. Drink now.

Silver Stone Winery 2005 Keeper Red (San Luis Obispo County)
- $38
A blend of Syrah and Mourvèdre, this is a lovely, polished and serious red wine. It impresses not just for the well-ripened cassis, cherry, cocoa and cedar flavors, but for the overall balance, and the smoothness of the texture.

Silver Stone Winery 2005 The Closer Late Harvest Roussanne (Paso Robles)
- $55
Extraordinarily sweet, with residual sugar of nearly 30%. That intensely honeyed sweetness is obviously delicious, and so are the apricot, pear and vanilla cream flavors. Would score higher with greater concentration and crisper acidity.

Silver Stone Winery 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon
- Best Buy
- $9
You’ll get real Cab character in this wine, with its black currant and oak flavors. It’s dry and balanced and has some real richness.

Silver Stone Winery 2003 Bien Nacido Vineyard Chardonnay (Santa Maria Valley)
- $25
A decent Chardonnay with some interest, although it’s a little thin on the finish. Smells of toasty oak, vanilla, butterscotch and tangerines, and while that sounds good, the intensity isn’t so great.

Silver Stone Winery 2002 Hall Ranch Syrah (Paso Robles)
- $33
Table wines hardly get bigger in fruit than this soft, luscious wine. It’s explosive in red cherry, chocolate fudge, pecan pie and spice flavors, but seems totally dry. It would have scored higher had one taster not been bothered by some nail polish and vinegar notes.

Silver Stone Winery 2005 Merlot (San Luis Obispo County)
- $37
Dry and fruity, but a little brittle in tannins and acids, this Merlot has red currant, mocha, cinnamon and smoky oak flavors. Drink now.

Silver Stone Winery 2000 Cabernet Sauvignon
- $9
Mellow and easy in the mouth, with soft tannins and gentle acids. The flavors range from blackberries to espresso, with a cough mediciney edge. Fine for everyday occasions.
