Focused and brilliant flavors of red and black cherries and black currants drive this sleek and powerful wine, as minty, toasty, and tobacco-like accents stay subtly in the background until the finish. A full body, medium to full tannins and good fruit acidity lend tangy freshness. Best from 2026.

Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley gives up notes of blackcurrant jelly, warm blackberries, and plum preserves followed by hints of charcoal, pencil shavings, and grilled meats. The full-bodied palate delivers mouth-coating black fruit preserves, with a firm, grainy texture and just enough freshness, finishing savory.

Shows a light mesquite edge that mingles with gently mulled plum and blackberry fruit flavors, while lightly singed vanilla and tobacco fill in through the finish. Reveals a solid graphite spine, too. Drink now through 2033. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. 28,595 cases made.

A juicy and delicious wine with a round and polished texture with hints of chocolate and walnuts. Some iron shavings, too. Medium body. Savory at the end. Lovely dark fruit in the finish. Juicy. Drink now.

With a bit of air, this wine opens to reveal dusty red cherries and raspberries and new wood cedar and spearmint. Round and full-bodied, with classic notes of black cherry, graphite, and cedarwood, complemented by dried herbs, red florals, and a lengthy finish.
