Sonoma Creek 1998 Duarte Old Vine Zinfandel (Contra Costa County)
- $15
Fleshy, sweet, ripe, jammy fruit tastes like spicy strawberry preserves. This is a big, briary, vanilla-laced Zin, with firm acids and a fat finish. Best Buy.

Sonoma Creek 2005 Merlot (Dry Creek Valley)
- $13
Very dry and rather tannic, this Merlot strikes off in interesting directions. Along with the usual cherries and blackberries, it shows an array of dried-crushed herb aromas and flavors, such as thyme and sage. This increases balance and complexity, not to mention the wine’s versatility at the table.

Sonoma Creek 2000 Pinot Noir (Carneros)
- Best Buy
- $11
Toasty oak adorns tart cherry fruit in this midweight wine. A peaty and toasted marshmallow nose sets the stage, and attractive caramel, sour plum/cherry and earth flavors follow. Finishes with good length, slightly tangy tannins, charred oak and cocoa accents. Best Buy.

Sonoma Creek 2004 Pinot Noir (Sonoma County)
- $13
An everyday Pinot that shows many of the noble characteristics of the variety. It’s silky and dry, with pleasant cherry and tobacco flavors and a touch of oak.

Sonoma Creek 2004 Chardonnay (Sonoma County)
- $10
This new young wine is quite a treat in an everyday Chard. It has tasty Chardonnay flavors of ripe pineapples and peaches, with spicy, vanilla-tinged oak and a smooth, creamy texture.

Sonoma Creek 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon (Sonoma County)
- $13
There's lots of toasty oak in this wine's aroma and flavor, but the cherry-berry fruit quickly catches up to it. It's dry and fairly tannic, with a rustic signature.

Sonoma Creek 2003 Merlot (Sonoma County)
- $13
Dry and balanced, this Merlot has some real complexity, from the fruity-oaky flavors to the complex, accessible tannins. There's also a pretty coating of toasty oak.

Sonoma Creek 2006 Merlot (Dry Creek Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $13
A textbook example of the modern, New World-style of red winemaking, this Merlot is as soft as melted butter, extraordinarily ripe and slightly sweet in the finish. The flavors are of vanilla-infused cherries, red currants and chocolate.
