There are solid Cabernet flavors of blackberries and black currants in this dry, tannic wine. It’s rough and astringent in the mouth, without much charm, but a rich steak, maybe topped with a gorgonzola sauce, will make it shine.——S.H.(4/1/2012)—— 85

Good price for a Cabernet Sauvignon this complex and rewarding. Grown in the cool Yountville area, the wine brims with fresh acidity, brisk tannins and ripe, pure flavors of blackberries and black cherries. It has a degree of elegance and finesse that make it especially recommendable.——S.H.(5/1/2011)—— 90
