Used Automobile Parts 2005 Old World Style Port (Amador County)

Online Exclusive

Price $42

Made from Portuguese varieties, this is an extraordinarily sweet wine. It’s explosive in chocolate truffle, blackberry pie filling, caramel and smoky butter flavors, balanced with crisp acidity. Delicious and compelling. — S.H. (12/1/2009)

Used Automobile Parts 2002 Red Table Wine (Napa Valley)

Price $50

From Don Sebastiani and Sons, known for inexpensive value wines, comes this first release.

Used Automobile Parts 2004 Red (Napa Valley)

Price $50

The question is whether or not this wine will age, for it sure is tannic. Burns from entry to exit, and it’s not the alcohol, which is modest. It’s a very ripe, fruity Bordeaux blend, brimming with blackberry, cherry, licorice and cola flavors, and is flat-out delicious, except for those astringent tannins.

Used Automobile Parts 2005 Red (Napa Valley)

Price $100

A very nice blend comprised of all five of the Bordeaux varieties, but heavily dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine is properly dry and quite ripe, with cassis and oak flavors. Feels a bit primary and immature now, and will probably be more complex after 2011. — S.H. (11/1/2009)
