Lots of richness in this smooth, complex Cab. It shows real quality in the depth of blackberry and spice fruit and the balance of ripe, sweet tannins and acidity. Elegant; probably at its best now and for a year or two.

There aren’t many Merlots coming off Atlas Peak, but there should be, to judge by this rich, dense, complex wine. It’s enormously packed in black cherry, red currant, blueberry, milk chocolate and spicy licorice flavors that go on and on into the finish. Fortunately, the structure is great, providing a firm architecture of tannins and acids.

Kudos to the winery for holding back this Cab Franc, Cab Sauvignon, Merlot and Malbec blend until it’s had time to turn gently soft and velvety. It’s at its peak now, showing a bouquet of blackberries, cherries, raspberries and cedar.

This is a soft, densely layered Merlot that has a touch of rusticity. The cherry and currant flavors have an oak-inspired edge of smoky, dark chocolate, and the finish is dry. Considering the hefty tannins, it could develop additional bottle complexities for a few years.
