This is a remarkably detailed Cabernet that shows off everything Napa has to give in the way of flash and richness. It’s dry, yet lush with ripe blackberry, blueberry and cassis flavors and plenty of toasty new oak. The tannins are as soft and complex as any in the world, making this wine beautiful to drink now. — (5/1/2013) —92

To call this anything other than modern in style would be incorrect. It’s soft and silky and direct in blackberry and cherry jam, chocolate and caramel flavors, although the finish is technically dry. Delicious and fancy, and will appeal to fans of ripe, sweet fruit, but it doesn’t have the structure for aging. — (6/1/2012) —90

An ultrarich Cabernet that shows the pedigree of its vineyard. It’s dramatic in blackberry, cherry, plum, cassis, chocolate, anise and baking spice flavors, wrapped into wonderfully soft, gentle tannins. With a long, sweet finish, it should develop over the next 10 years.——S.H.(8/1/2011)—— 94
