O'Vineyards 2006 Proprietor's Reserve Red (Cabardes)
- $24
Loads of menthol and pepper spice fill the nose, with a supporting fruit core of black cherry, black currant and wild raspberry. The texture is like crushed satin but the tannins, though fine grain, have good staying power. Mocha and cherry pits add character to the close.

O'Vineyards 2007 Proprietor's Reserve Red (Cabardes)
- $24
Attractive and enticing, with aromas of dried red fruit and raspberry dust spiced up with notes of pepper, cocoa and toffee. Although grippy and somewhat sandpapery in the mouth, that firm texture lingers through the endless finish. Still young; try in 2012.

O'Vineyards 2006 Les Américains Red (Cabardes)
- $15
The nose is gorgeous; the black plum and cherry fruit mingle seamlessly with licorice root, crushed violet and cocoa nib aromas. The tannins are so firm and assertive it almost kills your palate, with the fruit squeezing out on the end only after the astringency subsides. It shows promise, but needs a little more time to come together and smooth out.

O'Vineyards 2007 Les Américains Red (Cabardes)
- $15
A big and bold blend of Syrah, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, this brooding wine shows loads of black currant, plum, tobacco and menthol herbality on the nose and mouth. Anise and used coffee grinds develop on the close, which stays alongside the gripping tannins. Try after 2012.

- $13
Intense aromas of cassis, black plum, licorice and espresso grinds fill the bouquet of this 65% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon blend. Firm and tight in the mouth with prominent tannins and assertive dark fruit flavors. A touch of soft spice unfolds on the end.
