Lots of rich, ripe blackberry and cassis flavors in this dry, full-bodied Cabernet. It’s quite scoury in youth, with strong, edgy tannins and a hit of zippy acidity. Give it 5–6 years in the cellar to begin to calm down.

A pretty, polished Cabernet, rich and spicy in jammy black raspberry and cherry fruit. Ripe, smooth Napa tannins give it an upscale mouthfeel. Seems best over the next 2–3 years.

Unripe, with strong lemongrass, green pea and feline spray flavors accompanying more pleasant lemons and limes. Acidity is strong, and the wine is totally dry.
