Has Petite Sirah’s inky black color and strong, thick tannins, and is very dry, with blackberry flavors that could be a little more intense. Unless you like your red wines right out of the cradle, this one really needs cellaring through at least 2010.

Unusual for an inexpensive Cab of this age to hit the market, and it’s a pretty good buy. Nothing complicated, but it’s soft and smooth, and beginning to show that magical transformation when primary fruit develops bouquet and a dried fruit character.

Tastes flat and simple, with fruit disappearing, although there’s a ghost of blackberries that turns a little more intense on the finish. Consume now.

Simple and fruity, with syrupy flavors of canned peaches and pears and an overlay of oak-like notes. Finishes watery and sweet.

An acidic, tannic wine that overwhelms the mouth with tough astringency. It’s certainly clean and dry, and is firm enough to stand up to, say, spaghetti with marinara sauce. On its own, it’s pretty thin.

Seems a bit overripe, with roasted, caramelized fruit flavors and a hint of volatility, but does have some pleasant allspice and cinnamon notes as well.

Blackberries and cherries and unripe notes of oregano and dill in both the aroma and the flavor. Turns simple and gluey in the mouth, with a sacchariney sweetness.

Not quite ripe, a bone dry wine with herbal-minerally flavors, stern tannins and notable acidity. Almost Chianti-like in its thin austerity, but it will fare well against a tomato-based pasta dish.

Losing its primary fruit flavors, but not its raisiny taste, this Cab is soft and tired, although it does have a certain interest due to the age. Not going anywhere, so drink now.

At six years of age this Bordeaux blend is soft and a little tired and flat. It tastes like chocolate-covered raisins, but is dry.
