* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Mainly Cabernet Sauvignon, with smaller percentages of the other four Bordeaux varieties, this strongly tasting wine is fruity-sweet in blackberries, cherries, raspberries, cocoa and new smoky oak. It’s a little hot in alcohol, which robs it of some elegance. But it’s delicious and creamy, and could gain some subtlety with a few years in the bottle.

Arch and acidic now, which is this wine’s main feature. It cuts across the palate with a bite, and you have to wonder if that sharpness will ever go away. Otherwise, it’s dry, silky and rich in ripe wild cherry, cola and sandalwood flavors.

An exceptionally well-structured, elegant Merlot that would have been better if not for the vintage, which was less than stellar. Not fully ripe, the wine shows herb- and tobacco-influenced black cherry, blackberry, red currant and oak flavors, with complex notes of licorice, bacon and black pepper. Distinguished, but not an ager. Now–2011.

A massive Chardonnay, rich in fruit and oak. Shows long, decadent flavors of roasted pineapples, nectarines, honeysuckle, vanilla, buttered toast and meringue, dusted with cinnamon spice and brown sugar. Structure is fortunately provided by crisp acidity and even a framework of wood tannins. Now–2013.

A very nice Chardonnay that has the dusty, herbal tug that Napa Chards often display. Otherwise it’s very rich, with potent pineapple pie and peach tart flavors, enriched with creamy lees and buttery new oak. Drink now–2012.

This is the perfect Chardonnay in my opinion. Delicously buttery but not overpowering, I almost want to spread in on popcorn...almost. Must be careful with how much you drink as it is 15% alcohol :)
