The 2006 vintage of this Cabernet blew me away. This '07 is considerably more difficult to evaluate. Fresh out of the bottle, it’s dry, tannic and raw in acids. The black cherry sour candy and Dr. Pepper cola flavors have an unrelieved toughness. Yet the balance seems to be there for aging. The score is entirely tentative, and could well rise in coming years. But it could also go down. Roll the dice.

To call this a big Cab would be an understatement. It’s a black-colored, saturated wine that detonates on the palate, offering a blast of black and red berries, currants, cassis, dark unsweetened chocolate, anise and fine, upscale new oak. But the tannins are fierce. Very fine, among the best St. Helena Cabernets of the vintage. Needs time. 2012–2020.
