Smells Porty, like chocolate-covered raisins, and turns rather heavy in the mouth, although very dry. Tastes roasted, with grilled blackberry and cedar flavors. This style is characteristic of the winery and often of this vineyard, on the east side of the Rutherford flatlands.

This Cab shows potential. It’s a big, ripe wine, with great flavors of black currant extract. But the sharp-elbowed, astringent tannins are unlikely to age out, and need refinement in future vintages.

Smells young, closed and dusty, with toast accenting cocoa and cherries. Very dry, tannic and earthy. Finishes astringent in tannins. Needs lots of time but should be a very good bottle by 2008.

Smells ripe, balanced, attractive. Rich cohesion of toasted oak, anise, blackberry, dust in the aroma. Rich, smooth, long, very ripe in blackberry fruit. More tannic than Provenance's bottling of the same vintage. Classic structure. 2006-2015.

Minty, green aroma. Herbal, with oak and modest blackberries. Well-made, elegant, but thin. Drink now.

Big, powerful nose, loaded with black peppers and spices, dense and opaque aromas; sweet and rich in the mouth, loaded with sweet fruit, silky and enticing on the palate; still loaded with big, bitter tannins; there seems to be enough fruit here to balance the wine with more time. (18/20)
