Here’s a young Cabernet that’s rich in complex, sweet tannins. The fruit shows all the hallmarks of the vintage, wonderfully ripe in blackberry, cherry, blueberry and chocolate flavors with an extravagant coating of toasty new oak. It’s awfully good now, and should be opened by 2010 or so because of the softness.

Here’s a big, rich, mouthfilling Chard. It’s superoaky, superripe and just delicious, offering up a wealth of mango, guava, pineapple custard and peach pie fruit, with the crème brûlée, buttercream and buttered toast from new oak. Really good Chardonnay.

Not only is this a deliciously drinkable wine, it has lots of complexity and should even improve for a couple of years. It’s a big, soft, dry Merlot-based Bordeaux blend, juicy in cherry pie and succulent blueberry flavors and a rich, honeyed, toasty oak finish. Best now–2010.

Let this one breathe for an hour or two. At first it tastes a bit tired, but oxygen perks it up and restores vivacity to the fruit. Ultimately, it’s a very softly structured, very dry wine, with complex cherry, coffee, herb, cola and tea flavors. Drink now.

Definitely experienced the spiciness. I also tasted vegetal flavors at the front of the wine. Full-throated red. Comfortable tannins.

Hot damn this is a tasty wine! The entire package considered - it's attractive price point (about $25), fabulously aromatic nose, delightfully rich and spicy palate AND the fact that these guys use sustainable farming methods and other very cool GREEN applications in making the stuff - this wine is a five, hands down.
