Dark. Smells cheesy at first, although that blows off. Tastes of residual sugar, and is very tannic. Drink now.——S.H.(5/1/2009)—— 82

Gary Eberle brings his deft touch to Cabernet, resulting in this smooth wine with soft tannins and an elegant dryness. It’s forward in plummy, blackberry fruit, with an earthy, coffee edge. A minor quibble is the taste of raisins or shrivelled prunes are a detraction. ——S.H.(9/1/2006)—— 88

Quite a fine Cab, and to judge by its freshness, tannins and very long, fruity finish, it’s still only in its infancy. It will be interesting to follow its development, but now, it’s lively and complex in blackberry and oak flavors.——S.H.(11/15/2004)—— 90
