Wine Spectator 91 points
"Broad and generous, though not heavy, this bristles with juicy plum and floral aromas and flavors, fine-grained tannins and a sweet touch of spice as the finish lingers. Drink now through 2011. 511 cases made." –HS

Owen Roe
Dubrul Merlot 05 $44.95/$40.46
Wine Spectator 93 points
"Supple, broad, and remarkably generous and deep. Sports a peppery character arounda plush core of black cherry, dark chocolate, and sweet oak flavors, mingling enticingly as the finish rolls on and on. Best from 2008 through 2014. 201 cases made." H.S.

Owen Roe
Cabernet Franc "Slide Mountain" 04 $72.95/$65.66
Wine Spectator 90 points

Dalla Vina
Cabernet Franc 05 $24.95/$22.45
