I preferred this to Harris’s more expensive Treva’s Cab because it’s not as tannic, offering more immediate pleasure in an opulent, classy way. Soft and charming, yet with an intense structure, the wine is beautiful in blackberry, cherry, anise, green olive and vanilla oak flavors that finish complex and dry. Best now through 2010 for its lush fruit.

Very fine, but tough at this time, a Cabernet that needs serious cellar time. Is it an ager? Pretty guaranteed, to judge by the big, ripe, lockdown tannins, the savory acids, and the core of sweet, sap-rich black currants. Lots of sweet new oak, too, but a wine of this size needs it. Best 2010–2015.
