Dark, creamy red. The nose features red flowers, chocolate, raspberries, and cedar aromas, with a hint of ripe cassis. Full-bodied and developing, with fine tannins evident on the impressive finish. A delicious Bordeaux-style blend that should please both Old and New World cabernet fans, this very pure, elegant wine is just entering its prime drinking window. Should drink well through 2020.

($55-$75; a blend of cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc, merlot and petit verdot) Deep, moderately saturated ruby. Highly floral nose reminds me strongly of petit verdot, with its aromas of violet, lavender and cassis. Then quite young, even a bit youthfully aggressive, in the mouth, with some oak yet to be resolved among the substantial ripe red and black fruit flavors. The tannins build on the back but are fine-grained and smooth, and a lingering floral note adds interest. This ought to develop nicely with a few more years in the bottle and offer fine drinking for another eight to ten years after that. -Ian D'Agata

Beautiful crushed raspberry and blueberry character, with a minty licorice undertone, showing a subtle use of new wood. Full-bodied, with fine tannins and a seamless, silky mouthfeel. Very pretty. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Best after 2012. 3,500 cases made. -JS
