2005 Oberon Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley Hillside Reserve
"Dark and intense, deeply concentrated and tightly focused, showing a complex mix of dried currant, wild berry, savory herb and spice notes, with a dash of cedary, smoky, toasty oak. Firmly tannic. Drink now through 2015."

2002 Oberon Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
"Nicely concentrated for its price, this wine offers a palate of juicy black cherry, plum and dark chocolate. Toast and vanilla are minor players in this easy-to-drink, medium-full-bodied Cabernet."

Oberon Napa Valley Merlot

2001 Oberon Napa Valley Merlot
"A few years back, the default assumption amoung consumers was that Merlot is delicious, but in the post Sideways era. I'm sometimes asked wheteher any Merlot is worth drinking. The answer is yes, and here's a particularly nice case in point. The fruit shows very nice notes of black plums and ripe berries, with good concentration and depth of flavor but no harshness of drying in the finish. Delicious, and a deal."
