Soft and one-dimensional, with simple cherry, red currant, herb and toast flavors. Drink now.

Pours light in color for a Bordeaux red, and the wine itself is delicate and elegant, without the density of, say, Napa. Yet it’s full of fruity flavor, rich in black cherries, and bone dry.

Even in the cool Santa Monica Mountains of Malibu the heat waves of this vintage struck, and this wine suffered. It has Porty, raisiny aromas and a stewed-fruit taste, with heat on the finish.

Too soft, with unripe cherry and mint flavors that finish with a drily tannic astringency.

Shows cherry, tobacco and spice flavors and is nicely dry and silky, but is tired, dull. Lacks life.

Good blackberry, currant and cedar flavors, and properly dry, with a good background of smoky oak. But it’s way too soft, causing structural collapse.

Just barely drinkable. Soft and Porty, with simple cherry flavors and a bitter mouthfeel.

* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Dry, with a cooked or stewed-berry flavor and tannic, acidic bitterness on the finish. Considerable French oak just adds oak to an ordinary wine.

* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Malibu is considerably colder than Napa Valley, at least during the growing season, and this wine, from a cool vintage, shows high acidity and a minty, green edge. Drink now.
