Soft and still fairly tannic at the age of four–plus, with the herbal taste that often marks Alexander Valley Cabs. Yet there's enough blackberry, currant and cocoa richness to satisfy. Should develop over the next six years.

Better known as a Zinfandel house, Sausal can sometimes surprise with their richly soft, intricately layered Cabs, and the '04 is just that. It's immediately likeable for the wealth of blackberries, chocolate, cedar and spice. Best now and soon.
