Trinchero 2007 Cloud's Nest Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon (Mount Veeder)
- Editors' Choice
- $50
A lovely Cabernet, brimming with complex blackberry, cherry, mineral, tobacco and cedar flavors that impress for their sheer power. Shows the firm, hard tannins this mountain always lends Cabs, but they’re so finely ground, the wine is drinkable now with a good decanting. Should age well for a decade.

Trinchero 2007 Haystack Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon (Atlas Peak)
- $50
A wonderful Cabernet, rich and dry. The alcohol is fairly high, but in keeping with the wine’s power. The fruity blackberry and currant flavors are balanced by refreshingly earthy notes of olives and sweet herbs. Should develop through 2013.

Trinchero 2007 Chicken Ranch Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon (Rutherford)
- $35
A seriously good wine. Shows classic elegance in the dryness, fine tannins and restrained flavors of blackberries, black currants and cedar. Feels really refined in the mouth, with an herbaceousness that both grounds it and balances the fruit. Now–2013.

Trinchero 2007 Vista Montone Vineyard Daybreak Block Merlot (Napa Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $35
A lovely Merlot, dry and oaky and earthy, with a rich vein of cherries, violets, red licorice and spicy bacon. Defines elegance, with a gentle scour of tannins. One of the drier, classier Merlots out there. Great with a juicy steak.

Trinchero 2002 Chicken Ranch Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon (Rutherford)
- Editors' Choice
- $25
This lovely Cabernet shows well-defined black currant, olive and spice flavors, and has a good balance of acidity and grippy tannins. It’s rich, dry and complex. The oak is pronounced, but perfectly balanced with the fruit. Really displays class and pedigree.

Trinchero 2000 Mario's Reserve Meritage Red (Napa Valley)
- $45
Interesting to taste beside the winery’s 2000 Lewelling Cabernet, with which it shares much in common. But this Meritage is a little more tannic and has a broader and more interesting range of flavors. —S.H.

Trinchero 2007 Chicken Ranch Vineyard Merlot (Rutherford)
- Online Exclusive
- $35
Dry and tannic, a Merlot that’s the opposite of softly luxurious. But it’s extremely elegant with its cherry, red currant and bitter cherryskin flavors, and shows true complexity throughout. Just cries out for a fine steak, in a brown butter, soft cheese and garlic sauce.

Trinchero 2007 Meritage (Napa Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $50
Tough and gritty in tannins, with a mouthfeel like you’re chewing on sandpaper. Yet this Bordeaux blend is very rich in fruit, with a solid core of blackberries, black currants, anise and violets, sweetened with toast oak. Decant this classy Bordeaux Blend for a few hours before serving.
