A Bordeaux blend made from this high plateau between Sonoma County and Napa Valley. Tastes rugged and immature, with bright blackberry, currant and cedar flavors wrapped into tough tannins. Too powerful now. Try after 2010.

Tastes as sweet as jam, namely the raspberry, cherry and blackberry kind, with melted chocolate and anise stirred in for good measure. Fortunately, adequate acidity provides much-needed balance. Drink now.

Soft and direct, with sugary-sweet flavors of blackberries, currants, dark chocolate and smoky oak. The tannins are sizable, but a steak will cut right through them. Drink now.
