The winery says it can’t reveal the source of the grapes, which is odd, but we do know it’s in Rutherford. Made from 100% Cab, and aged in 100% new French oak, it is, in a word, splendid. Rich in blackberries, cassis and dark chocolate, the fruit was clearly well grown, and the tannin-acid balance is utterly classic. This beautiful wine is a partnership between three well-known and high-scoring vintners from other brands. It is a winery worth following.

Quite good, but some vegetal flavors mar this dessert wine, which is very sweet, with 18% residual sugar. Such sweetness is usually enough to satisfy on its own, but despite the apricot, tangerine and vanilla flavors, a stubborn green streak lowers the score.

One of the best Zinfandels of the vintage. This wine is exuberant in wild berry, briary, brambly nettle, cola, red currant, licorice and bacon flavors, with Zin’s peppery spiciness. The alcohol is very high, so drink carefully, but that’s what it took to make a wine this distinctive.
