Work 2001 Sauvignon Blanc (Napa Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $23
Shares more than a little in common with New Zealand Sauvignons in the intense gooseberry, juniper and lemon rind flavors. The wine is crisp and nervy, with a streak of acidity that penetrates the palate. The finish is very long and spicy. One of the more interesting Sauvignons of the current crop, and a wine to watch.

Work 2005 Work Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc (Napa Valley)
- $25
The vineyard is in the warmer, northern valley. The cool, dry harvest permitted the grapes to achieve maximum ripeness, and this is a superfruity wine. No oak touched it, but it was stirred on the lees, which gives the citrus and tropical fruit flavors a rich, creamy texture. This is a polished, sophisticated Sauvignon Blanc.

Work 2007 Sauvignon Blanc (Napa Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $25
Work established their reputation with Sauvignon Blanc, and this ’07 continues their record of dry, savory bottlings. With crisp, lemony acidity, its flavors are of citrus fruits, figs, green apples, green melons, vanilla and peppery spices.

Work 2002 Sauvignon Blanc (Napa Valley)
- $23
Another fine release from Work. This wine shows bright, rich flavors of sweet lime, fig and even a smattering of tropical fruits. Yet it is crisp and dry, with a steely mouthfeel that cleanses the palate. The creamy texture leads to a very long, spicy finish.

Work 2008 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)

Here’s a polished, sophisticated Cabernet for drinking now. It’s dry and full-bodied and tannic, with rich blackberry, black currant and cedar flavors that finish long and spicy.

Work 2003 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $45
Shows a very fine structure that’s dry and firm, with ripe, intricate black currant and cedar flavors. Hardly showing its age, it still brims with a youthful freshness. An ager, and could improve dramatically over the next eight years.

Work 2003 Sauvignon Blanc (Napa Valley)
- $23
As bright and rich in sweet lime, fig, and tropical fruit flavors as last year’s release, and as crisp, with a lush, creamy texture. The creamy texture leads to a very long, spicy finish.

Work 2005 Reserve Red (Sonoma County)
- $35
At the age of nearly six years, this blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvigon and Syrah has achieved a rich, velvety texture. The blackberry, teriyaki beef and sandalwood flavors are still framed in dynamic tannins, but the wine is elegant and appealing, and is fully drinkable now.
