Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Good flavors of cherries, currants and spices, and properly dry and silky, but too acidic. Gives a chili pepper burn throughout. Ready now.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Takes a fine mountain Cabernet and blends it with Sangiovese, which adds acidity and leather, and makes the tannins feel drier and harder, too. Not going anywhere.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A beautiful Cabernet in every respect. It’s full-bodied and dry, with focused black currant and cedar flavors wrapped into firm, dense mountain tannins. Shows the ability of these coastal mountains to ripen Cabernet Sauvignon to perfection. Now–2014.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Made in a drier, earthier style than most modern Cabs, this one has herb-infused blackberry flavors, housed in firm but refined tannins. If you know the old Jordan Cabs, which aged well, it brings them to mind. Hold until after 2010 or beyond.

A wonderfully structured and balanced Cab. Supple tannins, medium body and medium tannin. Layers of spice, tobacco and vanilla with the same rustic earthiness that shows on the Merlot.

Lighter bodied than most California cabs, but with nice dark fruit and a bit of chocolate, and chalky tannins

Dark brick in color. A more rustic style Merlot. Medium tannins, flavors of cherry, pomegranate and plum. A pleasant spicebox flavor imparted form the oak as well.

This is a tasty, chewy Cab. I find it lighter in body than its Napa counterparts- but with some of the same wonderful structure, chalky tannin, and big, black fruit/cocoa powder as a great Napa Cab would demonstrate. Totally coiffable.

Tasty, smoky, and heartily tannic. Absolutely stands up to Napa Valley Merlots. I'm impressed!
