Wattle Creek 2010 Sauvignon Blanc (Yorkville Highlands)
- $19
So bone dry and acidic, the tastebuds start whistling at the first sip. Defines the racy personality of Sauvignon Blanc, with a palate-stimulating tang and lime, lemongrass and mineral flavors. The best Wattle Creek Sauvignon Blanc ever.

Wattle Creek’s best Triple Play ever. A blend of Syrah, Viognier and Petite Sirah from this cool appellation in Mendocino County, the wine is dry, medium- to full-bodied, tannic and complex, with flavors of blackberries, currants, tobacco, smoked meat, cedar and scads of black pepper. Drink now for its sheer power and joy.

Wattle Creek 2006 Sauvignon Blanc (Mendocino County)
- Editors' Choice
- $17
Only 4% of this wine was barrel fermented in new oak. The majority was stainless-steel fermented. But that little bit of oak adds a subtle smoky richness to the brilliant fruit, which is a blast of tart gooseberries and Meyer lemons. Totally dry, with relatively low alcohol of only 13.3%, this is really great Sauvignon Blanc.

Wattle Creek 1997 Cabernet Sauvignon (Sonoma County)
- $50
Leathery fruit and a bit of bramble or field greens mark the nose, and the earthy red-currant palate strikes a claret-like note. It’s a little lighter than the competition, and it does show some defined tartness. Drink sooner than later, and try to serve it with food.

Wattle Creek 1995 Cabernet Sauvignon (Sonoma County)
- $50
Solid black currant and cedar aromas and flavors predominate in this dry, well-structured red. Toasty oak complements dark, dusty Alexander Valley fruit. The wine finishes elegantly, with spicy notes and ripe, even tannins. Ready to drink now.

Wattle Creek 2000 Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon (Alexander Valley)
- $47
Notable for the soft, velvety texture that glides over the palate and leaves behind a pleasant scour of tannin. The flavors are restrained but elegant, suggesting blackcurrant, cherry and sage. This balanced wine is feminine in its charm.

Wattle Creek 2002 Alexander Valley Viognier (Alexander Valley)

Soft, luscious and creamy smooth, with a caressing texture that conveys exotic flavors of tropical fruits, wildflowers, butter, sweet tree nut, vanilla and orange zest. This dry wine has complexity and versatility at the table.
