  With 20% Malbec, this wine is layered in refined complexity, swaying from juicy blueberry to herbaceous cherry and currant. Restrained in oak, with the slightest notion of vanilla on the palate, it finishes in mouthwatering dark chocolate—the tannins firm and structured.

  True to its advocacy for Malbec in the Napa Valley, the producer adds 15% Malbec to this Cabernet Sauvignon, forging a dark, rich and intense wine that's generous in black fruit and tobacco. It nonetheless retains ample acidity to stay balanced and rewarding on the palate. Enjoy…

  Depth and complexity typify this mountain Cabernet. There's plenty of concentrated blackberry and black currant fruit, but also intriguing notes of olives, dark chocolate and minerals. A little soft, but fine for drinking now and through 2015.

  Small amounts of Malbec and Merlot bring some additional complexity to this Cabernet, but it's still a pretty straightforward wine. Soft and dry, it has generous flavors of blackberry and new oak. Drink now.

  Ripe and forward in the modern cult style, with flavors of blackberry tart, black currants, milk chocolate and ripe mulberry, in addition to sweet, smoky oak. Sturdy mountain tannins provide structural bite, and should help the wine mature beyond 2011.
