Aged in 100% new French oak, aromas of roasted coffee bean, herb, char and dark fruit give way to lightly grainy dark-fruit flavors. The wood seems a bit primary at present but it still brings a lot of appeal. Give it some time to integrate.

The aromas bring brooding notes of black cherry, bittersweet chocolate and wood accents. The palate is power packed and tightly wound with firm but not unyielding tannins. It needs time in the cellar or a long decant.

Aged in 100% new French oak, this dark and muscular wine has lush scents of cut tobacco and dense cassis fruit. Black olive highlights bring a nice herbal element to the mix. The tannins, though quite astringent, are ripe and balanced.

Ripe to the point of smelling like Port, this is a wine for those who relish sweet flavors of raisin, cooked fig, and ultraripe tree fruit in their Cabernets. This has so much fruit it almost seems to have some sweetness. Drink this soon, while some youthful freshness remains.

This is the winery's flagship Cabernet. It's full-bodied, with classic Bing cherry Cabernet fruit as a base flavor; then a wrapping of toast and broad, astringent tannins. There's ample acidity to lift it a bit, and finishing layers of coffee, licorice, smoke, olive and loam.
