Stephanie 2005 Red Wine (Napa Valley)

  1. $65
This is the winery’s priciest red and also its best. It immediately appeals for the soft, lush texture and the way the sweet fruit marries with the oak to wow the palate. Shows lush cherries and cassis, with rich nuances of vanilla, smoky wood and anise. Decadent and delicious, and best now through 2011. Mainly Cabernet Sauvignon, but comprised of all 5 Bordeaux…  — S.H.  (12/15/2008)

Stephanie 2005 Merlot (Napa Valley)

  1. $40
Marked by its sturdy structure, which is a combination of fine acidity and broad, linear tannins, this Merlot also is very dry, and needs rich fare to play against. It has a deep core of currant, dark chocolate and red plum flavors. Now through 2010.  — S.H.  (12/15/2008)

Stephanie 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)

  1. $50
A bit rough and undisciplined now, with some sharp tannins and unintegrated oak framing blackberry and currant flavors. Seems almost rustic, but could come together after a few years.  — S.H.  (12/15/2008)

Stephanie 2006 Merlot (Napa Valley)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $35
A sharp, angular Merlot that’s not showing much right now. Totally dry, with thick tannins, it has cherry, coffee, herb and oak flavors. Ready now.  — S.H.  (3/1/2010)
