Tres Sabores 2000 Ken Bernards Zinfandel (Napa Valley)
- Editors' Choice
- $30
Plush, ripe, rich and packed with black cherry, chocolate, spice, tar, cinnamon, blackberry and herb flavors. The wine is silky smooth yet sports the kind of balance and structure of a great wine. Firm and profound. Great Zinfandel. Editors’ Choice.

Tres Sabores 2007 Perspective Cabernet Sauvignon (Rutherford)
- Online Exclusive
- $80
Young and oaky now, with toast, vanilla and woodspice aromas and flavors that tend to dominate the underlying cherry, cranberry and raspberry fruit. Feels fat and sweetly opulent, with smooth, fine tannins. Should develop gradually over the next decade.

Tres Sabores 2000 Karen Culler Zinfandel (Napa Valley)
- Editors' Choice
- $30
Shows the plush texture of the other Tres Sabores wines, with a little more spice and brightness. Front loaded with chocolate, black cherry and cedar notes, the wine is rich and smooth on the palate, a wonderful Zin. Full and complex to the end. Editors’ Choice.

Tres Sabores 2000 Rudy Zuidema Zinfandel (Napa Valley)
- Editors' Choice
- $30
Big, bright, ripe fruit here, with blackberry, black cherry, cassis, plum, spice and cedar notes all intertwined. The texture is plush and full, with round, ripe tannins in place to frame it all and a long, lush finish for staying power. Editors’ Choice.

Tres Sabores 2006 Petite Sirah (Napa Valley)
- Cellar Selection
- $45
Typical of a young, fine Petite Sirah, this bottle is too tannic and unintegrated to drink now. But it has a gigantic heart of blackberries, currants, chocolate, anise, leather and cedar, and should have no problem developing in the bottle over the next decade. Hold until after 2011.

Tres Sabores 2001 Ken Bernards Zinfandel (Rutherford)
- $38
Quite smooth, with plush tannins that frame a web of coffee, cocoa, blackberry, raspberry and herb flavors. Acidity is bright, with an almost citrus-like edge, keeping the flavors moving along the palate nicely. Long, sleek and supple to the end.

Tres Sabores 2003 Perspective Cabernet Sauvignon (Rutherford)
- Cellar Selection
- $48
Very young and pretty tannic now with a mouth-numbing astringency, so you don’t want to pop that cork tonight. But give it time. There’s a deep, molten core of blackberry fruit, and the wine is dry and balanced. Should soften by 2009 and hold, if not improved, for another ten years.

Tres Sabores 2001 Rudy Zuidema Zinfandel (Rutherford)
- $38
Aromas of menthol and eucalyptus are up front here, followed by ripe, jammy black cherry, spice, chocolate, coffee, plum and herb flavors. Thick and plush-textured, this is an ultra-ripe style with finesse.
— W.E.
