Wildhurst 1998 Catfish Vineyard Zinfandel (Clear Lake)
-
$14
Spicy, ripe fruit, with an edge to it. Well-defined wine, which shows briar, toast, berry and coffee flavors sprinkled throughout. Well-built, sturdy, a little hot, but balanced and long.

Wildhurst 2002 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (Lake County)
-
$16
From this county north of Napa, a well-ripened Cab with lots of excitingly rich flavor. Big in blackberry, cherry and mocha, and dry, with soft, gentle tannins, it’s a real crowd-pleaser.

Wildhurst 2006 Reserve Sauvignon Blanc (Lake County)
-
$11
It’s amazing how consistently good Lake County Sauvignon Blancs can be at such a good price, and with their ’05, Wildhurst exemplifies these qualities. The wine is very ripe in citrus, fig, green melon, vanilla and peppery spice flavors, with wonderful acidity and a honeyed finish.
