Lush and ripe, with firm, silky tannins that support a core of blackberry, licorice, black cherry, herb, chocolate, sage and mineral notes. Complex and brimming with character.

This young wine is hard and tannic now, with a drying mouthfeel. Buried way down deep are blackberries and cherries, which are considerable, and the wine is balanced. It will probably develop bottle complexity over the next five to seven years.

This wine’s nose offers cherry and caramel, but also unusual tomato and other vegetable notes, though in an appealing manner. Claret-weight and lean but not hard, it has a ripe berry flavor and a bell-pepper note in the mouth. It finishes with tobacco and herb accents, and a spicy note; can be drunk now through 2008.

Kicks off with heady aromas of blackberry, tar, licorice, spice and modest earth tones. On the palate it fans out to reveal complex layers of more black fruit, cinnamon, anise, cardamom and herbs. It’s framed in firm tannins, finishing long.

This is a fine Napa Cab, rich and ripe in black currant, and well balanced. It’s dry, with fairly sturdy tannins, and although it’s soft in acids, it will hold and improve for a few years.

Soft and gentle in structure, this Cab appeals for its ripe, pie-filling flavors of blackberries, cherries and spices. It’s a pretty, polished young wine whose vigorous tannins give it a sandpapery texture. Ready now.

Extracted in jammy blackberry-cherry fruit, with a heavy plaster of sweetly caramelized oak, this Cabernet is a bit heavy-handed. Ready now.
