    This is a very good Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. It's dry, full-bodied and has an impeccable tannin-acid structure, with complex flavors of blackberries, currants, herbs and sweet oak. Ready to drink now.

  • 201087 pts

    This Cabernet starts out tight and resistant. Although it has plenty of ripe cherry and blackberry fruit, there's something pinched about the mouthfeel. It's a good wine that will benefit from airing, but doesn't seem likely to improve in the cellar.

    Scads of ripe blackberry, blueberry, cherry and Cocoa Puff fruit flavors on this Cabernet, which is also rich in sweet, buttery oak. It's delicious by definition, yet the modern style could use some restraint.

  • 200885 pts

    Soft and tannic, with jammy flavors of blackberries, cherries, dark chocolate and spices. Not showing much structure, and not going anywhere, so drink up.
