Arns 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
- $75
Few Cabernets get riper than this. It’s fruity sweet in the mouth, with generous blackberry and cherry flavors, while charred oak lends a buttery, pie crust sweetness. Yet the wine is totally dry. Strong, refined tannins lend the necessary structure to make this a remarkable Cabernet. Fine now, and should develop over the next 6–8 years.

Arns 2000 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
- $60
Incredibly aromatic and redolent of black cherry, black currant, plum, chocolate, coffee, spice, vanilla, toast, herb and anise. Rich, lush, long and elegant on the palate with corresponding flavors that don’t disappoint. A full-bodied expression of great Cabernet.

Arns 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
- $75
Deep and impressively focused, and long in the finish, this rich Cabernet impresses with fruity blackberry, cherry and raspberry flavors. So rich and ripe, yet balanced with lively acidity and firm tannins. At the age of five-plus, it’s probably best now and for the next several years.

Arns 2007 Estate Grown Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
- Cellar Selection
- Online Exclusive
- $85
This has big tannins and primary blackberry-jam flavors, with a cut of acidity. Everything’s bold and aggressive, reminiscent of an old-fashioned Napa Cabernet—except for the alcohol, which is high. Yet all indications are of an ager. Give it 6-8 years and see what happens.

Arns 2008 Estate Grown Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $85
With sharp acidity and pungent black currant, plum and raisin flavors, this muscular Cabernet is probably best to drink now. It’s an interesting wine, with a spicy, tannic finish.

Arns 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
- $50
A little on the astringently tannic, austere side, but pretty good. Very dry and crisp, it shows a deep core of black and red currant flavors. Should hold and develop over the next 4–6 years.

Arns 1998 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
- $50
Earthy, with sauteed mushroom aromas, although in the mouth it turns fruity with blackberry, cassis and plummy spices. Turns tannic on the finish. Could improve, but it’s a gamble.

Arns 2006 Syrah (Napa Valley)
- $50
Some pruny overripeness shows up in this Syrah, while masses of sweetly charred oak give a candied taste. Although the wine is technically dry, it’s a bit clumsy. Give it a good decant and drink now.
