  The question is whether you should drink it now, or cellar it. It's dry and tannic and well-structured, and rich in blackberry, currant, cherry and plum fruit, with a long, spicy finish. It provides a good showcase for the emerging Coombsville region. Your best bet is to give it…

  This Cabernet blend shows the future of the new Coombsville region, which was officially approved as an appellation in 2011. It's a powerful wine with penetrating blackberry, currant and mocha flavors, while the structure is especially fine and firm.

  Very ripe, rich and fruity, showing powerful blackberry, cassis and cedar flavors. The structure is classic Napa, with firm, dynamic tannins and a fine application of acidity. Feels just great in the mouth, if on the young side. Give this wine three or four years in the cellar.

  Blended from all five Bordeaux varieties, this wine has fine, strong flavors of blackberries, black currants and oak, and is dry. The texture, though, is a bit edgy, with jagged tannins and bitter hints of raisins and mint. Drink now.

  Somewhat sharp in acids and tannins, with a streak of green mint that weakens the blackberry and cherry flavors. Good structure, but a bit unripe and unbalanced, and not likely to age.
