Barnett’s 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon Cyrus Ryan Vineyard opens with an intriguing array of super-ripe, exotic red fruit, licorice, white flowers, incense and sweet tobacco. Ripe, flashy and voluptuous, the 2010 fills out beautifully in all directions, showing wonderful intensity and fabulous overall balance. The inky, opulent finish is particularly attractive. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2024. Tel. (707) 963-7075

The 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon Cyrus Ryan flows from the glass with super-ripe dark fruit in an opulent, lush style that stands in contrast to some of the other wines in this lineup. Blackberry jam, cassis, sweet herbs and French oak are some of the notes that wrap around the lush finish. This shows impressive depth, but it isn-t exactly the last word in subtlety. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2019. This is a very strong set of wines from Barnett Vineyards. As good as these wines are - and they are terrific - my sense is that with a little less new oak the fruit would shine through even more.Tel. (707) 963-7075

The 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon Cyrus Ryan Vineyard comes from a two acre parcel on the eastern side of the Napa Valley floor, just off the Silverado Trail in St. Helena. Fragrant notes of black currants, cedar and spice jump from the glass of this dark ruby/purple-tinged wine. Broad, juicy red and black fruits dominate the palate of this medium to full-bodied, moderately tannic, juicy, succulent Cabernet. It can be drunk now and over the next 10-15 years.It’s hard to believe that Barnett Vineyards is already 27 years old. Located on a beautiful hillside high on Spring Mountain, they have branched out from their original Cabernet program to include Chardonnays and, more recently, Pinot Noirs, all of which merit attention.Tel.
