The grapes come from the Kenwood area, a warm region of the valley. A very ripe Cab with a little Merlot and Syrah, this is well-structured, with a fine North Coast acid-tannin balance. There’s a raisiny taste that suggests the wine is not ageable, but it’s pretty now.

The aromas of white pepper, blackberries grilled meat bone and smoke promise a classy, Hermitage-like Syrah, but it’s not the Northern Rhône at all. Definitely California, with its soft tannins and acids and almost sweet berry pie filling flavors. Drink soon.

Made in a lighter style, both color-wise and texturally. Shows polished cherry pulp and cherryskin flavors, with orange zest, cola and anise adding complexity. Drink this drily elegant wine now.

This is an okay wine, dry and silky, but it’s just too cooked or stewed. Even out on the coast, the vintage was brutally hot, and you can taste how those grapes shriveled into raisins. There should be better results in ’05 and ’06.

Dry and tannic, this is a little too astringent now (except with barbecue), but it does have a distinguished mouthfeel, with a deep core of cassis, leather, carob, tobacco and spices. Try after 2008.

This is a soft, simple wine, sweet in LifeSaver candy raspberry and cherry flavors. Lots of new oak only adds a plaster of melted vanilla ice cream.

Made with a splash of Cabernet Franc, this wine is soft, a little sweet and oaky. Fifty percent new French barrels shows up in the form of butterscotch and vanilla, while the underlying grape flavors of blackberries and cherries are tasty. Drink now.

A decent everyday Cab that’s upfront in blackberry and cherry jam flavors, with smoky, spicy wood notes. It finishes dry and tannic and a little rustic.

A pretty Pinot, dry, crisp and silky. It shows polished raspberry and cherry tart, cola and spicy pomegranate flavors, framed in sweet, toasty oak. Drink now.

Here’s a smooth, easy- drinking Syrah that shows plenty of class. The blackberry, beef teriyaki, black pepper and leather flavors are brightened with acidity, while a touch of new oak adds some nice smokiness.
