Very dark, rich in oak and extracted in fruit, this Cab has enormous flavors of blackberries, black currants and cedar. It’s a little sharp in acidity all through the finish, which gives it a sting.——S.H.(12/1/2009)—— 86

From this sheltered valley in Monterey, a lovely Cab that features ripe cassis and blackcurrant flavors. The tannins invite a comparison to Napa Valley. They’re firmer, but the wine is drinkable now. Finishes with a chocolaty taste. Mainly Cabernet Sauvignon.——S.H.(4/1/2005)—— 90
