  This is a tart, fresh and full-bodied wine that shows off the Rutherford appellation in its lush dustiness and firm, integrated tannin. Coconut shavings and crisp red fruit complement classic characteristics of cedar and dried herb.

• 201288 pts

  Smooth and spicy, this wine explodes in layers of cinnamon and clove dusted in sugary plum and black cherry, a powerful weight and degree of ripeness at its core. The finish is soft and lengthy in vanilla oak.

• 201088 pts

  This Cab is so softly decadent, there's no reason not to drink it now. It's as mellow as any Napa red out there, with lush, intricately sweet flavors of cherry pie, cola and cinnamon.

• 200992 pts

  Another voluptuous Cabernet from Terlato, this is rich and savory with black currant and mocha flavors. Smoky oak and soft but penetrating tannins add complexity. A beautiful, festive wine to drink now or over the next 4–5 years.

• 200888 pts

  Sweetly forward in blackberry, cherry and raspberry fruit, this Cabernet's buttered oak adds to the impression of candy. It's a tasty wine, and it wants to accompany foods that have a sweetness to them, like pork or beef with caramelized onions.

• 200786 pts

  Marked by superripe, jammy blackberry and currant flavors that taste like they were baked into a pie, this Cab also has plenty of sweet, caramelized oak. It leaves little to the imagination. Good, but would benefit from greater nuance and complexity.

• 200685 pts

  Oaky, with blackberry, cherry and currant flavors compromised with mint and oregano, and with a sharp finish. Not going anywhere.
