Smooth, sweet and savory, this Cabernet has forward flavors of blackberries, black currants, cola and sweet oak. It’s an easy wine to drink now.——S.H.(4/1/2012)—— 85

A big, voluptuous Cabernet, brimming with ripe blackberries, plums, mocha, cedar, and a chewy, tangy meaty taste, like beef jerky. Solid, soft and easy to drink. ——S.H.(11/1/2011)—— 87

They’ve been doing their homework at Windsor Sonoma to judge by this Cab, which is a vast improvement over past releases. It’s a pleasure to drink now for its rich, forward flavors of cherries, blackberries, currants and cocoa, soft tannins, and lush overlay of caramelized oak. It finishes sweetly smooth, although it’s technically dry.——S.H.(12/31/2010)—— 92

Warm, currant-jam aroma. Sweet, ripe spicy fruit. Excellent balance. Firm structure, yet open, fleshy and round.
