Composed of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Malbec and 1% Merlot, the 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon is a seriously endowed wine built for the long haul. An opaque purple color is accompanied by abundant blackberry, cassis, cedarwood, asphalt and charcoal characteristics, and a full-bodied mouthfeel. With high glycerin and sweet tannins, this big, rich, masculine-styled Cabernet will benefit from 2-3 years of cellaring and last for two decades. Tel. (707) 259-1681; Fax (707) 259-1740

The superb 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon (88% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Malbec, and a dollop of Merlot) boasts a dense ruby/purple color in addition to plentiful aromas of sweet black cherries, black currants, graphite, white chocolate, and a subtle note of smoky oak. With outstanding richness, texture, and equilibrium as well as sweet tannins (particularly for a 2006), this beauty will benefit from 2-5 years of cellaring, and should keep for 20+ years. Tel.
