This is a very good Cab, but one that doesn’t really show the hallmarks that typically say “Coonawarra.” Black fruit, coffee and vanilla bean aromas and flavors take on black-peppery accents on the palate. Underneath it all is a sturdy base of smooth wood. Imported by Joshua Tree Imports.

This vintage of Reschke Bos’s little-brother Cab, the Vitulus, is similiar to the Bos, though it is $10 cheaper. This wine’s vanilla and caramel aromas usher in mixed plums and a woodsy, dry mouthfeel. A very good, though fairly predictable, Cab. Imported by Joshua Tree Imports.

Little brother to Reschke’s “Bos” hence the name “Vitulus,” which means “bull calf.” This one’s appropriately more jaunty and youthful, but unfolds nicely on the finish. Aromas are deep, mostly black cherry; flavors are of black cherry and mocha.

Bos (which means “bull” in Latin) is a big, black wine; but for the fact that it doesn’t scream “oak” it could swallow you whole. Has smooth, chewy tannins and knockout juicy fruit and mocha on the finish. On the nose, shows earth, black pepper and light vanilla or baked-goods aromas. Yum.
