Inky purple, almost black. Base notes of blackberry liqueur seasoned with mocha, roasted coffee and black olive permeate the nose. The palate also displays the black fruit theme with olive and black licorice, followed by mineral and tar on the finish. This effort is dense and bold, yet far from the fruit bomb interpretation. Tannins are long lasting and firm, boding well for a lengthy life in the cellar. Impressive!

Another winner is the 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa which includes 1% Cabernet Franc. It possesses abundant notes of creme de cassis intermixed with a floral underpinning and subtle oak in the background. Rich and full-bodied with a burning ember/smoky component that adds character to the red and black fruits that dominate the wine, this beauty should drink well for 15+ years. 90+ -Robert Parker

Just delicious, this wine shows its pedigree from some of the best vineyards in the valley, including Merryvale's St. Helena estate. Dry and rich in firm but refined tannins, it offers elaborate flavors of blackberries, blueberries and cherries, while 70% new oak adds layers of buttered toast and caramel. Great for drinking now with the best meats and cheeses you can find.

This firm, intense and vibrant red offers a tight mix of loamy earth, dried currant and berry, sage, anise and cedar flavors. Full-bodied, ending with a streamlined, layered finish. Best from 2012 through 2021. -JL
