Snowden 1998 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
- $60
Lush and ripe, with firm, silky tannins that support a core of blackberry, licorice, black cherry, herb, chocolate, sage and mineral notes. Complex and brimming with character.

Snowden 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
- $60
Kicks off with heady aromas of blackberry, tar, licorice, spice and modest earth tones. On the palate it fans out to reveal complex layers of more black fruit, cinnamon, anise, cardamom and herbs. It’s framed in firm tannins, finishing long.

Snowden 1997 Lost Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
- $30
This wine’s nose offers cherry and caramel, but also unusual tomato and other vegetable notes, though in an appealing manner. Claret-weight and lean but not hard, it has a ripe berry flavor and a bell-pepper note in the mouth. It finishes with tobacco and herb accents, and a spicy note; can be drunk now through 2008.

Snowden 2002 Lost Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
- $30
This is a fine Napa Cab, rich and ripe in black currant, and well balanced. It’s dry, with fairly sturdy tannins, and although it’s soft in acids, it will hold and improve for a few years.

Snowden 2002 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
- $50
This young wine is hard and tannic now, with a drying mouthfeel. Buried way down deep are blackberries and cherries, which are considerable, and the wine is balanced. It will probably develop bottle complexity over the next five to seven years.

Snowden 2007 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $75
Soft and gentle in structure, this Cab appeals for its ripe, pie-filling flavors of blackberries, cherries and spices. It’s a pretty, polished young wine whose vigorous tannins give it a sandpapery texture. Ready now.

Snowden 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $40
Extracted in jammy blackberry-cherry fruit, with a heavy plaster of sweetly caramelized oak, this Cabernet is a bit heavy-handed. Ready now.
