Continuing on the theme I started last week, below is a list of the top 10 wines Husband and I drank in 2006 that cost over $20. While price doesn't always matter, for the most part, these wines out shine the somewhat less expensive ones on last week's list of wines under $20. - Silverado Fantasia 2002: A wonderful and intriguing blend of 55% Sangiovese, 42% Cabernet Sauvignon and 3% Zinfandel. Check-out some more info on it courtesy of Mikes Wine Blog.
- Silverado Zinfandel 2003: This was the beginning of our current Zinfandel cravings...
- Davis Bynum Westside Meritage 2002: Great wine, but since Davis Bynum is a relatively small winery, sadly, it’s probably very difficult to find any at this point.
 - Clos Du Val 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon: Excellent Cabernet with very little tannins even though it’s still pretty young. We love to serve this when we have dinner parties.
- Duckhorn Sauvignon Blanc 2004: As you've probably noticed I'm mostly into Reds but this white is a nice refreshing surprise from many of the oaky California whites.
- Davis Bynum Pinot Noir 2003: A second Davis Bynum on my list? Hmm, probably not a coincidence that this is the next wine club we plan to join…. This is a nice full bodied Russian River Valley Pinot.
- Luca 2004 Altose Mendoza: Top rated Malbec in our Malbec Wine tasting party.
- Chateau Montelena 2002 Zinfandel: A classic table wine. See vintners notes
- Clos du Bois 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon: Another great Cab that we frequently enjoy.
- St. Francis Grenache 2003: Nice little surprise we got in a recent wine club shipment that really stood out!
Let's hope next years wines are just as memorable!
