Cory Gowan, JJ Buckley, September 2012

Deep ruby core with a purple-tinged rim. Seriously complex, with a dense and enveloping red fruit core that shows hints of cranberry, sandalwood, dark chocolate, espresso bean, and vanilla. Rich and creamy on the palate, with a piercing jolt of deep fruit, tar, licorice, and new leather, plus a pleasant mid-palate packed with very fine tannins, this only hints at what's to come. The marathon finish goes on and on. Break out the decanter for drinking now or cellar this classic Napa cab and enjoy over the next two decades. Drink from 2012-2030.

The 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley is quite a bit richer than the 2005 tasted alongside it. The 2006 shows gorgeous depth as it opens up in the glass. Dark fruit, licorice, smoke and tar are some of the notes that flesh out in this broad-shouldered Cabernet Sauvignon. A creamy, textured finish rounds things out in style. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2026.

Deep medium ruby. Sexy, inviting aromas of dark berries, licorice pastille, spicecake and leather. Densely packed but light on its feet, with good sweetness and breadth to the black fruit flavors. Distinctly round for a young cabernet from this producer. The broad finish features sweet, dusty tannins and excellent length.
