A very good Cab, dry, full-bodied and fruity. The tannins are thick and hard, making it difficult to savor the underlying blackberries, black cherries, blueberries and dark chocolate. If you drink it now, decant. Otherwise, try over the next 4–6 years.

Heavy and densely tannic now, and not showing its best. It’s an embryonic Cabernet that’s all about potential. Analysis reveals deep, buried flavors of blackberries, black currants and cedar that are impressively potent. Needs a bit of time to come around. Try in 2013.

Shows a Chablis-like steely, minerally dryness, with subtle notes of lemons, limes and grapefruits. Marked by firm acids, it’s an elegant wine of great structure and integrity, meant for drinking now.

A beautiful Cabernet that gives a nod to Bordeaux in its earthy dryness and moderate alcohol. There are plenty of blackberries, cherries and currants, but also notes of violets, mushrooms and herbs that make it complex. Fresh acidity and thick tannins provide structure to this wine, which comes from the cooler districts of Oakville and Coombsville. Now–2014.

This inaugural release is pretty good, made in the international or cult style of softness, extreme ripeness and early palate appeal. It’s forward in jammy cherry, black currant and plum flavors.
