This very rich, unctuous Syrah is immature and not especially subtle at this time. It’s acidic and gooey in jammy blackberries and cherries and milk chocolate, with obvious oak influences. The idea seems to be ageworthiness, but that’s a gamble. Could surprise.

Frankly delicious, a wine with the most decadent profile. Just erupts with only-in-California black currant, cassis, black cherry, chocolate, red plum jam and smoky cedar flavors that testify to the finest viticulture. For all that, the wine is quite soft and sweet. Give it greater structure, and the score would soar.

Made from Beckstoffer’s portion of To Kalon, this is exceptionally rich and decadent. Cabs don’t get much riper. Blasts off with black currants, cassis, chocolate fudge and exotic spices. But the wine is soft and the alcohol is quite high, making it almost sweet. Would benefit from being drier and more structured.

Plenty of flavor in this extremely ripe wine. Bursting with blackberry and cherry pie filling, currant, chocolate and cedar flavors, it’s clearly delicious. Yet it’s a very soft wine. Makes you wish it were firmer in structure, to support all that decadent flavor. Made entirely from the Stagecoach Vineyard, and the alcohol is 15.5%.

This Cabernet Sauvignon-Syrah blend is soft and ready to drink now. It’s also very delicious, almost like a dessert pastry, with ultra-ripe black cherry, cassis, anise liqueur, melted milk chocolate and vanilla flavors that finish spicy-sweet.
