Stuart Cellars 1998 Vintage Zinfandel (Temecula)
- $42
Black as ink, with glints of royal purple and gold, it opens with intense, penetrating aromas of dark chocolate, blackberry preserves and cassis, caramel, and a smoky, peppery note. Decadently rich, with 10% residual sugar, and heady, with 19% alcohol, but so delicious. The silky, velvety texture is pure seduction. This has got to be one of the best California…

Stuart Cellars 2005 Limited Bottling Viognier (California)
- $21
Smooth and polished, with toasty flavors of pineapple, pumpkin pie, cinnamon, gingersnap cookie, butterscotch and honey. The finish is crisp; very nice and rich.

Stuart Cellars 2003 Vintner's Special Estate Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (Temecula)
- $60
This is surely one of the better Temecula-grown Cabs out there. It’s ripe and balanced, with a good array of varietal flavors. Cherry, red currant, cola, mocha and oaky spice flavors finish dry and smooth. Drink now.

Stuart Cellars 2006 Vintners Special Limited Reserve Petite Sirah (Temecula Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $65
Very ripe, offering a burst of cherry-berry fruit flavors and hints of violets, leather and smoke. Could be a little firmer and drier, but it’s a nice, full-bodied red wine.

Stuart Cellars 2004 Limited Estate Reserve Tatria Meritage Red Table Wine (Temecula)
- $36
The grapes had no problem getting ripe, to judge by the flood of red cherry marmalade, cola and milk chocolate flavors. With its dryness and softness, the wine is delicious, if a little one-dimensional.

Stuart Cellars 2007 Lopez Ranch Vintners Special Select Reserve Zinfandel (Cucamonga Valley)
- $30
This is a very dry and rather bitter wine, with a raisinskin toughness. It’s not very generous in fruit, but is nuanced in its own way. Needs rich barbecue to tease out the blackberries and chocolate.

Stuart Cellars 2003 Select Reserve Zinfandel (Temecula)
- $30
It’s hard to know what to make of this wine. With 17.4% alcohol, it’s more of a Port, except that it’s dry. It’s clean, with firm tannins framing deep coffee, blackberry and leather flavors, and actually possesses some charm and elegance despite the size.

Stuart Cellars 2006 Lopez Ranch Vintners Special Select Reserve Zinfandel (Cucamonga Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $30
Very, very dry, but bitter in raisinskin flavors and tannins, with a baked currant finish. Not a bad wine, but an acquired taste. Drink now.
