A decent, everyday Cab. It’s a bit raw and fresh in young, fruity acids, and very strong, offering fruitstand flavors of blackberries, cherries and plums. Finishes rather sweet. Drink now.

Hot, dry and ripe, with strong flavors of grilled blackberries and cherries, red and black currants, tobacco, cocoa and peppery spices. Needs rich fare, like hard cheeses, olive oil, beef and lamb, to stand up to the tannins.

A bit disjointed, with acidity sticking out, and the fruit tending toward jammy blackberries, raspberries and nectarines, leading to sharpness in the finish. Could mellow and improve in a couple years.

A difficult wine to like. Shows a mixture of unripe, herbal flavors with jammy sweet ones. There’s also a note of vegetal asparagus all the way through.

Good and robust, but a bit too high in alcohol, offering a burning feeling with grilled, sweet flavors of berries, cherries and spices. Drink now.

Lovely flavors in this Sonoma County Syrah. Offers waves of chocolate-inspired blackberries, leather, anise, sandalwood and pepper, wrapped into silky tannins. Could be firmer and crisper, though.
