The 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve shows wonderful richness and depth in an expressive core of plums, espresso, wild cherries, tar and licorice. I especially like the mid-palate pliancy and generosity here. The 2008 Reserve is another beautifully balanced wine. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2018. Tel. (707) 942-6684

The estate’s top wine, the 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve, offers pure black currant fruit intermixed with cedar, licorice and earth notes. Full-bodied and juicy with a succulent texture, ripe tannin and a long finish, this impressively endowed beauty should drink well for 10-15 years. Tel. (707) 942-6684

Tons of fresh, succulent cherry and raspberry fruit flavors in this savory wine, elaborated with sweet, smoky oak. Made in a drink-me-now style, it’s soft and lush, with beautifully ripe, smooth tannins.——S.H.(5/1/2011)—— 90

Feels awkward in the mouth now, with hard tannins and tart acids. However, it has an attractive richness of blackberries and cassis, enhanced with rich oak. It’s a classically youthful Cabernet that should develop with 3–5 years in the bottle.——S.H.(2/1/2010)—— 89
