Ty Caton 2001 Merlot (Sonoma County)
- $24
This is one of those Merlots that keep you coming back for more. It’s lush in blackcurrant, cocoa, coffee and spicy fruit flavors, wrapped in soft, creamy tannins, and is well oaked. Has just enough acidity to finish clean and vibrant.

Ty Caton 2002 Ty Caton Vineyards Syrah (Sonoma Valley)
- $19
A well-ripened Syrah with lots of plump fruit. Although it’s dry, the plummy coffee and chocolate flavors are sweet in fruity essence. Feels plush and soft in the mouth, with a long, berry-and-spice finish.

Ty Caton 2006 Tytanium Caton Vineyard Red (Sonoma Valley)
- $75
This is a strongly flavored young wine. There’s nothing subtle about the blast of blackberries, cherries and currants, of the sweet, smoky oak. The tannins are pronounced, giving a dusty astringency in the mouth. Should develop for 2–4 years.

Ty Caton 2007 The Ridge-Georges Caton Vineyard Malbec (Sonoma Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $38
The name is a little bizarre, but this is a pretty good wine. Shows a dark color and rich, deep blackberry, currant, plum and leather flavors, with a touch of unsweetened chocolate and smoky oak. Good now with steak.

Ty Caton 2008 Caton Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon (Sonoma Valley)
- $49
Tastes its best now, with jammy blackberry, cherry and raspberry flavors, and a rich overlay of oak. The tannins and acids are soft and gentle.

Ty Caton 2009 Riesling (Central Coast)
- Online Exclusive

It’s dry to slightly off-dry, with clean, zesty acidity and decent flavors of citrus fruits, green apples, Asian pears and peaches.
— S.H.

Ty Caton 2008 Tytanium Red (Sonoma Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $75
Fruity, dry and immediately appealing, showing ripe raspberry, cherry, blackberry, cola, licorice, bacon and sandalwood flavors. Could use greater complexity, especially at this price. Cabernet Sauvignon, Petite Sirah, Syrah and Malbec.

Ty Caton 2004 Caton Vineyard Syrah (Sonoma Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $25
Lots of polished, ripe blackberry, cherry, mocha and spicy flavors in this dry, rather tannic wine. It shows good structure and balance. Best now.
