Wine Spots 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
- Editors' Choice
- $25
The upside of the recession is that wines this good are being sold for lower prices, which is great news for consumers. This Cabernet, basically a négociant’s blend, is really delicious. It’s rich, dry, tannic and lush in blackberry and cherry tart, chocolate and smoky cedar flavors.

Wine Spots 2009 Pinot Noir (Carneros)
- $25
This is a good wine, textbook Carneros in its dryness, crisp acidity, silky texture and cherry, herb and spice flavors. It’s not especially rich, but an elegant Pinot Noir for drinking now.

Wine Spots 2006 Syrah (Sonoma Coast)
- Online Exclusive
- $25
Inky dark and full-bodied, this Syrah has all the hallmarks of a young wine. It’s dry and extremely rich in blackberry, wild cherry and blueberry flavors, accented with smoky oak, violets and pepper. Really nice, but maybe too soft for aging.

Wine Spots 2009 Chardonnay (Monterey)
- $19
A good Chardonnay, modestly oaked, with pleasant flavors of lemons, pineapples, buttered toast and cinnamon spice. Brisk acidity makes it finish bright and clean.

Wine Spots 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $25
A good, everyday Cabernet. It’s a bit gritty and hard in tannins, but very dry, with fine classic flavors of blackberries, black currants and oak. Give it a brief decant before drinking.
