Drink it over the next 3-4 years for its berry, coffee, herb-tinged, medium-bodied personality.

You cannot ask for much more in an inexpensive Sauvignon Blanc. This tasty Sauvignon reveals melony/herb-like fruit in a medium-bodied, nicely endowed format.

The gorgeous, opulent 1992 Cabernet Sauvignon offers a big, smoky, chocolatey, cassis-scented nose, full body, surprisingly soft tannin, low acidity, and a lush texture and finish. It is ideal for drinking now and over the next 7-10 years.

Firm and somewhat oaky now, but ripe plum and cherry flavors pick up a spice and anise edge on the finish.

Rich and concentrated yet elegant, this red is dense with succulent flavors of plum, cedar and black currant and balanced with appealing toasty oak. The aroma, smoky and earthy, recalls a Bordeaux. A blend with more than 40 percent merlot, it's ready to drink now, but it will also benefit from a few years in the cellar.

Spicy vanilla nose, a succulent wine with big cherry and vanilla flavors.

Black fruit, leather, bacon, lilacs. Full-blown style, with inky fruit concentration made elegant by a silky mouthfeel and extrodinary balance of all components. Cellar Selection.

Lightly fruity, exhibiting simple berry notes and firm tannins.

Full body. Medium acid. Lots of fruit, oaky. Lots of tannin, leather, black fruit, chocolate. Classic Zin loaded with bramble fruit, with balanced oak and tannins.

Wonderful, bright, red berry nose. Extremely soft and tasty.

Black fruits, oak, pepper, brown spice, very lush toasted oak with spicy notes dominates dark, cherry-berry fruit.

Cherries, pepper, cedar. Very complex with lush cherry fruit dominate over peppery spice.

Bright and intriguing, boasting passion fruit, citrus and pear flavors that just don't quit. Any oak in this is well submerged. Delicious.

Chewy core of earthy raspberry and spice. Picks up oak and peppery notes on the finish.

A sweet layer of smoky oak character runs through the pear and honey flavors in this ripe, broad, harmonious white.

Well worth the price for its exquisite blend of silky delicacy and dense strawberry and black cherry fruit that is neatly framed with bacon-crisp French oak toastiness. Balance is the key to vinuous greatness, and this one keeps so many balls in the air that you'd think winemaker Dan Goldfield was a juggler instead of a winemaker.

Aromatic oak and peach with mild grassy notes; clean, balanced citrus-peach flavors; good length in finish.

Lush and creamy, long and dense.

Medium-full-bodied and balanced to softness.

Our favorite (Sonoma Chardonnay) was Stonestreet's 1993 Chardonnay. Toast, spice and brown sugar on the nose match the lush, buttery-caramel flavors on the palate. This is probably Stonestreet's biggest and best yet.

A high-toned aroma, slightly citrus-scented with a suggestion of tropical fruit, seasoned with sweet, spicy oak. The fruit is wonderfully concentrated and opulent but not heavy, and it has a polished seamless texture. At once rich and light, the wine seems somehow poised in the mouth from forepalate to finish.

Peach-like flavors remind of Germany's warmer regions, such as the Pfalz or Nahe. This is a low-alcohol, lightly sweet Kabinett-style riesling.
