An average, everyday Cab, dense and soft, made in the style of ripe fruit and lots of oak. Tasted twice, with considerable bottle variation. ——S.H.(6/1/2011)—— 86

A terrific Cabernet marked by the superbly ripe, fine tannins and classic blackberry and black currant fruit Napa so routinely delivers. Fully dry, it feels rich and full-bodied and important in the mouth, a wine to drink with fine foods and linger over as it breathes in the glass. Good now, after a brief decant.——S.H.(9/1/2010)—— 94
