  Juicy blackberry and cassis accent a balanced elegant wine that's bright in acidity and ample in structure. Nuanced in ripeness, it's built for the table and will shine alongside a versatile array of foods.

  From a knoll in Carneros, oft thought of as chilly for Cabernet, this wine exhibits cooler aspects of the variety, from pencil lead and cedar to dried herb. It is complemented by fruitier characteristics of cassis and plum, finishing in dusty, structured tannins. Cellar through…

  Far from a fruit bomb, this is an elegant Cabernet with modest but complex currant, black cherry, cola and herb flavors. The tannins are considerable, and so is the acidity. Drink now after decanting for several hours, or allow it to develop over the next eight years.

  The vineyard is on the Napa side of Carneros, and the wine shows ripe flavors of blackberry and black currant, with sweet vanilla and toast from new oak barrels. It's a dry wine that gives the impression of sweetness, and might benefit from a few years in the cellar.

  This is a bit thin on the palate, with flavors of sour black-cherry candy and spice. It earns a few extra points for its elegance and fine tannins.

  A good Cabernet, dry and classic in black cherry, currant, plum jam and cedar flavors. It's a little irregular in the mouth, with cutting acidity, and its future is uncertain. Give it a long decant.

  Not quite as ripe as previous vintages, with an earthy, herbal edge, but that works to the wine's advantage, highlighting its elegance and class. Smooth, smoky oak frames the blackberry and currant flavors. Should develop bottle complexity over the next 6–8 years.

  Carneros isn't ideal for Cabernet, as it's too cool. Even in this hot vintage, Truchard's '04 bottling has an unripe, vegetal streak beside the cassis, chocolate and new oak flavors.
