Stash this Cabernet in the cellar and forget about it for at least six years. Right now, the blackberry, black currant, cherry, herb and sweet cedar flavors are swamped in hard tannins. The structure is immaculate, though, and all signs point to successful future development.

The extra heat of Calistoga shows in this wine's softness, which limits its ageability. On the other hand, it's supremely ripe in blackberries, cherries, currants and milk chocolate, while oak adds elaborate layers of buttered toast and caramel. Drink now–2015.
