Aromas of plums, currants and burnt match are more interesting than the dark berry and earth flavors that have an initial richness. It lacks fullness throughout, finishing fairly thin. Drink soon.

Takes this varietal’s citrusy, grassy flavors and lifts them into riper fig, melon and peach. The bright acidity is balanced by rich, sweet tannins and a creamy texture from barrel fermentation. The result is a charming wine, dry and satisfying.

Ripe and juicy, with black currant, blackberry jam and cherry flavors and smooth tannins. Lacks a bit of depth, but the richness works.

This is a good Cabernet but seems pricey for what you get. It’s well crafted, ripe and oaky, and finishes with harsh acids.

A very good wine, rich and packed with flavor. A dry and softly tannic, it floods the mouth with cassis, red currant, blueberry, plum, cocoa and smoky oak flavors.

Off by a few beats from the ’02, the ’03 shows red currant, plumped raisin and green mint jelly notes. The flavors are good, but the wine, which is soft in structure, is not an ager.

Showing jammy blackberry and cherry flavors and lots of new smoky oak, this is a young, tannic Cab. It would suggest aging, especially given its mountain origins, except for a streak of green mint that suggests some less than ripe fruit. Best now and for a few years.

Fruity, crisp and slightly sweet, with pear, citrus, fig and spearmint flavors, this easy sipper will go well with a variety of foods.

A lighter style of Cab, with pretty black cherry, blackberry and herb flavors and softly sweet tannins. Notable for its balance and harmony, this elegant wine will support, not overwhelm, fine food.

This understated wine doesn’t overwhelm with fruit, but creeps up on you subtlely. The cherry and herb flavors are delicate, and judiciously balanced with tannins and oak. It’s a feminine wine that will marry well with roasts, poultry and soft cheeses.
