Winery - Tres Sabores
* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Quite smooth, with plush tannins that frame a web of coffee, cocoa, blackberry, raspberry and herb flavors. Acidity is bright, with an almost citrus-like edge, keeping the flavors moving along the palate nicely. Long, sleek and supple to the end.

A very distinctive 100% Cab that some might even find controversial. It’s ripe almost to the point of supermaturity, showing powerful currant and licorice flavors that are very well oaked. Finishes hard in tannins in its youth. Aims, with some success, at an extracted, modern or cult style.

Oaky, with a meaty, leathery edge to the blackberry and cherry flavors, and very dry. The tannins are rich and firm but sweet and fine, and don’t get in the way. Long in the finish, this balanced wine should hold well for 10 years.

Very young and pretty tannic now with a mouth-numbing astringency, so you don’t want to pop that cork tonight. But give it time. There’s a deep, molten core of blackberry fruit, and the wine is dry and balanced. Should soften by 2009 and hold, if not improved, for another ten years.

Plush, ripe, rich and packed with black cherry, chocolate, spice, tar, cinnamon, blackberry and herb flavors. The wine is silky smooth yet sports the kind of balance and structure of a great wine. Firm and profound. Great Zinfandel. Editors’ Choice.

Shows the plush texture of the other Tres Sabores wines, with a little more spice and brightness. Front loaded with chocolate, black cherry and cedar notes, the wine is rich and smooth on the palate, a wonderful Zin. Full and complex to the end. Editors’ Choice.

Big, bright, ripe fruit here, with blackberry, black cherry, cassis, plum, spice and cedar notes all intertwined. The texture is plush and full, with round, ripe tannins in place to frame it all and a long, lush finish for staying power. Editors’ Choice.

This is quite a good Cabernet, marked by a noble structure. It has a deep core of black cherries, currants and cedar. But it’s astringent in tannins. Best after 2011.

Young and oaky now, with toast, vanilla and woodspice aromas and flavors that tend to dominate the underlying cherry, cranberry and raspberry fruit. Feels fat and sweetly opulent, with smooth, fine tannins. Should develop gradually over the next decade.

There’s a good crunch of mouthwatering acidity on this wine, like biting into a green apple or slice of pineapple, both of whose flavors are here, along with gooseberries and a distinct taste of nutmeg. The wine is very dry. Creaminess adds needed richness, but it’s still a tart wine.
