The 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon Bear Point comes across as dark and brooding. Espresso, graphite, blackberries, cassis and spices emerge from the glass as this dense, opaque Cabernet Sauvignon shows off its pedigree. Layers of expressive perfume are woven throughout the fruit in this open, relatively accessible Cabernet. This is another terrific effort from Stonestreet and winemaker Graham Weerts. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2021. - Antonio Galloni

Full red with ruby tones. Refreshing, lightly dusty nose offers blueberry, black cherry, menthol, chocolate, sassafras and herbs. A firmly built midweight, offering a bit more intensity to its dark berry and fresh herb flavors than the Monument Ridge bottling. This, too, derives lift from its harmonious acidity. Finishes with building tannins and very good length. Should show more pliancy with a few years of cellaring.

So smooth and lush, it's hard to keep from drinking the whole bottle. Shows wonderfully smooth, sweet blackberries, cherries and raspberries, balanced with supple tannins and fine acidity. Should hold well over the next six years. - S.H.
