Peppery and dry, a soft, graceful Cabernet with the silky texture of a Pinot Noir. Shows real polish and elegance, with flavors of blackberries and currants.

The Crusher 2009 Grower's Selection Rose of Pinot Noir Rosé (Clarksburg)
- Online Exclusive
- $13
A pretty good wine in its own right, although it’s much darker and more full-bodied than a rosé really should be. Still, it’s dry and crisp, with raspberry tart, vanilla and sandalwood flavors.

There are good Cabernet flavors in this dry, rugged wine. Blackberries, cherries, currants and oak work their way to a briary finish. Drink now.

The Crusher 2007 Wilson Vineyard Viognier (Clarksburg)
- Online Exclusive
- $13
Shows a wildly exotic array of flavors, from tropical fruits and wildflowers to honey and Asian spices. Crisp acidity provides balance, but the finish is a bit sugary sweet.

The Crusher 2009 Grower's Selection Petite Sirah (Clarksburg)
- Online Exclusive
- $15
So young, it tastes like it’s still fermenting. Not a bad wine, but freshly tart and strong in grapy flavors. Should calm down by mid-2011 and become a nice, full-bodied and dry red wine.

The Crusher 2008 Wilson Vineyard Chardonnay (Clarksburg)
- Online Exclusive
- $13
Made in an off-dry style, this Chardonnay shows sugary flavors of pineapples, peaches, pears and vanilla extract. It’s a simple wine with clean acidity.

The Crusher 2008 Grower's Collection Petite Sirah (Clarksburg)
- Online Exclusive
- $13
Tastes fresh and acidic, like a Beaujolais, with jammy blackberries and cherries, and that sharp, tart finish. An everyday red to drink with ham, sausage, paté.

The Crusher 2009 Wilson Vineyard Chardonnay (Clarksburg)
- Online Exclusive
- $13
are starting to recognize Clarksburg, for growing some amazingly flavorful Chenin Blanc and Albarino, but if it’s Chardonnay they want to grow, too, this wine won’t help make the case. From the Wilson Vineyard, it’s sweet and uncomplicated and tasting a bit burnt.
