Spann Vineyards 2004 Twenty Three Barrels Cabernet Sauvignon (Sonoma County)
- $32
Spann’s track record for soft, appealing Cabs is unbroken with this very pretty and polished ‘04. With a wealth of blackberry, currant, mocha and spice flavors, it shows real complexity. Despite the softness, it will develop and hold for a decade or more.

Spann Vineyards 2001 Red (Sonoma County)
- $18
Balanced, complex and elegant, a lovely dry wine with cherry, herb, cola and oak flavors. Has extra qualities of harmony and grace that make it excellent. Zin, Mourvèdre and Alicante Bouschet.

Spann Vineyards 2007 Betsy's Backacher Bottle Blond Semillon-Chardonnay (Yorkville Highlands)
- Editors' Choice
- $17
This is an interesting wine that shows the creamy pineapple and vanilla flavors of Chardonnay, yet with rich, more exotic notes of cashew nuts, yellow apricots and marzipan. It’s full-bodied and almost sweet, yet complex enough for a fine dinner.

Spann Vineyards 2001 Mo Jo Red (Russian River Valley)
- $30
An unusual blend that’s rich in berry, cocoa and spice flavors. Delicious and elegant, with real complexity of sweet tannins and crisp acids. Great, versatile food wine. Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah and Petite Sirah.

Spann Vineyards 2002 Chardonnay-Viognier (Sonoma County)
- $17
A fruity, toasty blend, full-bodied and lush, with pleasing hints of peach, melon, apricot, herb, citrus and spice flavors. The finish is moderate in length.

Spann Vineyards 2005 Six Barrels Charbono (Napa Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $22
Showing the rustic power of Charbono, this is an inky dark, bone-dry, tannic wine, but California’s sun stars in the immensely ripe black currant flavors. Crisp, bright acidity cuts through, making it a good partner for tomato sauce and cheese-based Italian fare. Should live for decades in a cool cellar, gradually softening and sweetening.

Spann Vineyards 2007 The Classic Four Red (Sonoma Valley)
- $20
This is a Cabernet-based Bordeaux blend, and it’s very good, especially for the price. Smooth and soft, it offers lush blackberry, red currant, cherry, chocolate and herb flavors that are drinking well now.

Spann Vineyards 2003 Chardonnay-Viognier White (Sonoma County)
- $18
This is a subtle blend with some very nice features. It’s fruity in peaches, honeysuckle and vanilla, yet dry, with a rich, creamy texture and good acidity. Fabulous spice on the finish makes it alluring.
