Made in a drier, earthier style than most Oakville Cabs, this one emphasizes structure over fruity power. It’s a sleek, elegant wine, brimming with tannins and acids that frame blackberry, currant, mineral and dried herb flavors, with a touch of raisins in the finish. 1 Note

From a 4.5-acre vineyard directly behind To Kalon, this is only the winery’s third vintage. Sleek and plush, it’s loaded with dark plum, black cherry, chocolate, cola, blackberry and spice flavors. The tannins are supple, and the finish is long. Editors’ Choice. —J.M. 1 Note

Young, taut and dense now, with edgy tannins that will reward cellaring. With its core of cherry, blackberry and cedary cassis, it’s likely to hold and improve for a decade. 1 Note

The vineyard is in the foothills above Mondavi, and the wine is marked by the authoritative tannic structure that usually marks Cabs from this neighborhood. Rich in pure cassis, there’s a dusty, locked-down quality and a sandpapery astringency that suggests aging. This is a very fine wine and should drink well in a few years and then hold through 2014 or so. 1 Note

You want a dramatic young, ageworthy Cab? Here it is. Totally immature, because of the tight tannins. Completely dry. Lots of fresh sweet oak. Not drinkable at all now, but what a core of fruit. Huge blackberry, cherry and cassis flavors, just waiting to emerge, and they will. Hold until 2010, then drink for a decade. 1 Note
