Stonehedge 2001 Sauvignon Blanc
- $10
Very fruity, a mouthful of lime, grapefruit, apple and peach flavors, and turns spicy and peppery on the finish. Feels a bit flat and heavy on the palate. Finishes very dry and with bright fruitiness.

Stonehedge 2003 Sauvignon Blanc
- $10
One of the drier Sauvignons out there, bony and minerally, with tart acids that make it mouthwateringly clean. Picks up lemon and fig flavors in the finish. A nice cocktail-style wine at a good price.

Stonehedge 2000 Cabernet Sauvignon
- $10
There are some true varietal notes in the black-currant and blackberry flavors, but unfortunately the wine also drinks rough and hot. Has a coarse earthiness that puts it firmly in the country-style camp. Yet it’s dry, clean and suitable for big parties where guests aren’t too picky.

Stonehedge 2000 Syrah
- $10
Earthy, herbal aromas veer into cardboard, and a distinct waft of raw green peppercorn. The grapes didn’t fully ripen. But the wine is dry, tart and clean and there’s a certain food friendliness. Try it with stews or barbecue and you might discover hidden charms. —S.H.

Stonehedge 2001 Zinfandel
- $10
Mild-mannered and fairly lightweight, the wine serves up a reasonable array of plum, cherry, toast and licorice notes. Equally mild on the finish.

Stonehedge 2000 Pinot Noir
- $10
Impertinent, saucy, rude—old-fashioned words to describe young, rustic wines, of which this is one. It’s very dry and tannic with earthy-berry flavors, and snaps to a weak finish. —S.H.

Stonehedge 2001 Petite Sirah
- Online Exclusive
- $10
Dark and earthy, a thick, heavy wine with plummy, chocolatey flavors and big tannins, although the acidity is soft. The main drawback is residual sugar. Once that sugar hits, the palate is discombobulated.
