This 100% Cabernet is very pure and elegant in cherry and cassis flavors. The tannins are sturdy and thick, but the mouthfeel is lighter in weight than Cabs from Oakville or Rutherford. In fact, elegance and finesse really are the hallmarks of this wine. Best now and through 2010.

Ripe flavors of berry, cherry, cassis and toasted oak dominate this perky young Syrah. The tannins are pure Napa—supple and intricate—while the acidity provides a deft touch of tartness. Drink now.

Rich and textured, if a little heavy, this has flavors of pear butter, green melon and honeysuckle. Made in a ripe, flashy way, it’s a wine to drink now.

Very ripe and fruity, this has a rich, glycerine-driven sweetness, like a tangy ruby Port. It’s delicious in blackberry jam and caramel flavors, with intricate tannins and fine, citrusy acids.
