Bon Coeur 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon (Oakville)

Online Exclusive

Price $90

Very rich in blackberries and cassis, almost sweet, and the oak adds to the impression of sweetness with smoky caramel. Almost chocolaty, with a minty tang. Definitely in the modern style, soft and flashy. We’ll see if it ages. — S.H. (12/31/2011)

Bon Coeur 2008 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)

Price $65

So ripe, it’s like drinking the Platonic essence of cherries and blackberries, sweet and satisfying in fruity richness. Oak adds the usual level of flashy toast. It’s a little on the soft side, but dramatically layered. Hard to tell where it’s going down the road, so drink over the next six years. — S.H. (12/31/2011)

Bon Coeur 2008 Cuvée Marilyn Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)

Online Exclusive

Price $55

A little too soft and sweet, especially at this price, when you want something with more structure. But there’s no denying the richness. Offers masses of ripe blackberries, currants, dark chocolate and baking spices. Drink now–2014. — S.H. (12/31/2011)
