Watkins Family 2006 Nuns Cliff Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon (Sonoma Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $38
What’s so likeable about this Cabernet is the dryness and the overall balance, which is stylish and elegant. It keeps the blackberry and black currant fruit in check with earthier tones of tobacco and olives.

Watkins Family 2007 Nuns Cliff Cabernet Sauvignon (Sonoma Valley)
- Cellar Selection
- Online Exclusive
- $38
Tastes a bit jammy sweet and direct now, with strong flavors of blackberries, cherries and raspberries. Seems to need a year or three in the cellar to let everything soften and integrate. But it’s not a 20-year wine.

Watkins Family 2007 Zinfandel- Petite Sirah (Sonoma County)
- Online Exclusive
- $28
A robust blend of two popular varieties, this full-bodied red is basically dry and fairly tannic. It’s enormously rich and extracted in blackberries and cherries, with notes of bacon, beef jerky, tobacco and scads of peppery spices. Drink now.

Watkins Family 2008 Zinfandel- Petite Sirah (Sonoma County)
- Online Exclusive
- $28
Co-released with the 2007 Zin-Petite Sirah blend, this wine shows the same characteristics. It’s dryish, tannic and rustic, with peppery flavors framing berries, currants and smoked meat. Give it a good decant before serving.
