Vermeil 2009 Luvisi 1908 Vineyard Zinfandel (Calistoga)
- $38
The wine, from this old vineyard, contains a good chunk of Petite Sirah, which adds body and tannins to the Zinfandel. It’s a delicious wine, wonderfully drinkable, with deep, complex blackberry, cassis, dark chocolate, licorice, raisin, black pepper and sandalwood flavors that finish long and spicy.

Vermeil 2008 Jean Louis Vermeil Frediani Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon (Calistoga)
- $85
There’s no disrespect to say this Cabernet is fun to drink. It is, for the soft, charmingly interesting mouthfeel and rich, sweetly forward blackberry, cherry, chocolate, cassis, anise and oak flavors. Few Cabernets in the world get this ripe and exotic. Enjoy it now.

Vermeil 2008 Proprietary Red Wine (Calistoga)
- $42
A smooth, lush blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot. It’s dry, full-bodied and fairly tannic, and very rich in black cherry fruit and licorice flavors, well integrated with spicy oak. Feels upscale, but will benefit from 3–5 years in the bottle.

Vermeil 2010 Luvisi Vineyard Dry Sémillon (Calistoga)
- Online Exclusive
- $24
Not really dry, like the label says, but with apricot and orange jam richness. Sauvignon Blanc adds citrus fruit notes and acidity. There’s also a lot of new oak. Drink this tasty wine now.
