Sits right on the border of everday and fancy, one of those wines that’s not so impressive on its own, but can rise to the occasion with the right food. Quite crisp, with minerally, citrus rind, melon and date flavors. Versatile with food.

A new winery from established growers. Intriguing nose of plum, currant and earth, but something elusive--chocolaty and nougaty--appeals. Very rich. You’re struck first by the pronounced, top-flight fruit. Then the balance hits you. Dry, nice acids, and a fine finish. Contains 18% Cabernet Sauvignon.

At four-plus years, it’s still quite dark, and that impression of immaturity is confirmed by the earthy, oaky, plummy, curranty aromas. Tannins are fine and velvety. But underneath is a solid core of ripe, fancy fruit wrapped in finely charred oak. Should develop nicely over the next decade.

Grown in the cooler, southeastern Coombsville section of the valley, this 100% Cab is big, rich and dry. It fills the mouth with ripe blackberry and cherry flavors that are jammy and oaky. Finishing a bit sharp, it should mellow for a few more years.

Not your standard blackberry-and-oak bomb: there’s zing and snap, and even a whiff of mint to the nose. Deep and full-flavored, with chocolate, coffee and some earthiness. It has the length and supple tannins to qualify it as a winner. Quite pure and focused.
