Tom Eddy 2004 Dr. Crane Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
- Cellar Selection
- $115
A lush Cabernet marked by ripe flavors of blackberries, currants, minerals, dried herbs and smoky oak. Obviously from superior terroir, it shows a firm, classic structure. Still too young to drink now, with hard, astringent tannins. Try after 2015.

Tom Eddy 2001 Dr. Crane Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
- Cellar Selection
- $110
At nearly six years of age, this Cab tastes as fresh and tannic as a far younger wine. Those tannins remain firm and hard, and the blackberries and cherries still have a primary fruit taste. This likely will be one of those wines that takes a long time to show its stuff, but it’s richly balanced and satisfying. Odds are this beautiful wine, from a veteran producer…

Tom Eddy 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
- $90
At about eight years of age, this 100% Cabernet is losing its primary fruit. The blackberries, cherries and currants are drying and developing the secondary characteristics of an aged wine. It’s soft and gentle and interesting, with a good grip of tannins, and could develop additional bottle complexity in the coming years.

Tom Eddy 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
- Cellar Selection
- $90
Inky dark, bone dry and tannic, this Cab isn’t showing much generosity now. But it’s potent in mineral-laden blackberry and black currant fruit, and has the overall balance for the long haul. Give it another six years.

Tom Eddy 2004 Meteor Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
- Cellar Selection
- $115
A very hard, tannic wine. Assaults the palate like barbarian invaders, pillaging with astringency. Yet buried deep down is a luscious core of black currants and minerals. Made in an old-fashioned style, this Cab could be one to drink over the next 8–12 years.

Tom Eddy 1999 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
- $75
From this veteran winemaker, a wine that, at nearly five years, is beginning to shed its hard tannins. That’s not to say its plush now. It’s still firm and aloof, but there are some nice currant flavors. Hold for another few years.

Tom Eddy 2004 Tenz Sauvignon Blanc (Marlborough)
- $17
California winemaker Tom Eddy’s New Zealand adventure is off to a solid start with this bottling of Sauvignon. Light in body and lean, with modest grapefruit aromas giving way to stony, melon-flavored fruit. Crisp and clean on the finish. Imported by Tom Eddy.

Tom Eddy 2004 Elodian Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $40
With jammy, pie-filling berry flavors that are cooked or baked to the point of raisins, this second wine of veteran Tom Eddy is a disappointment. Coming from a hot vintage, it tastes like the grapes just got scorched in the vineyard.
