Hidden Ridge 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon 55% Slope Sonoma County   The wines from our vineyard this year show complex cassis, bramble, tea and tobacco notes buoyed by unusually rich and dense chocolate enrobed blackberry, dark cherry and black plum flavors laced with clove and nutmeg. As the wine finishes flavors turn to blackberry, mocha, anise, and a hint of mint carried on rich velvety mountain tannins. Beautiful now with decanting, the wine will continue to develop for a decade or more. Winery. Very Limited.   93 QPR Value $ 34.99 6 pack for $ 179.94 ( $ 29.99 )

Sea Smoke 2009 Pinot Noir Southing Santa Rita Hills   Deep violet color. Intense, oak-spiced aromas of dark berries, cherry liqueur, potpourri and woodsmoke. Deeply pitched black raspberry and cherry cola flavors show good breadth, surprising vivacity and a silky texture with notes of candied lavender and sassafras coming up with aeration. 91 Steve Tanzer $ 57.99 6 pack for $ 299.94 ( $ 49.99 )
