Here’s a plush, supple Cab, rich in cassis, cherry, coffee, herb and spice flavors that are wrapped in lush, sweetly ripe tannins. It’s a very dry wine, and balanced enough to benefit from mid-term aging. Hold until 2007, then best through 2011 or so.

Made with stainless-steel fermentation and sur lie aging, this Sauvignon Blanc is rich and creamy in pineapples, dates and honeysuckle flowers. It’s a very good wine from an appellation that’s far better known for upscale Cabernet Sauvignon.

This is a Cabernet to drink now for its soft, enjoyable flavors of blackberry and cherry pie. It tastes sweet but finishes nicely dry, with a scour of tannins.

Concentrated and intense in fruit and crisp in acids, but too sweet, this clean wine shows powerful citrus essence, fig, white peach and white apricot flavors.

This is the winery’s second release of this bottling. It’s a pretty good Cab, but there’s an acidic sharpness to the currant and cherry flavors that’s distracting, and makes for a prickly aftertaste.

Break out the kitty litter. If you’re sensitive to this smell, avoid. But once in the mouth, it’s dry and crisp, with nice flavors of lemons, limes, vanilla and spice.
