Tasting notes
Mid crimson. Racy and almost angular. This is probably a terroir expression. Some stoniness and it's drier than most. This would probably be pretty food-friendly. (JR)

The superb 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate exhibits wonderful boysenberry, blueberry, raspberry, crushed rock and floral aromas. This blockbuster yet extremely elegant wine is made from 100% estate-grown Cabernet Sauvignon (14.8% alcohol). Enjoy this beauty now or cellar it for another two decades. Tel. (707) 965-2746
(15.2% alcohol): Good deep ruby-red. Saturated bright ruby. Aromas of cassis, black cherry, espresso and exotic oak on the slightly high-toned nose. Densely packed but also juicy and high-pitched, conveying a primary, youthfully aggressive character to the black cherry and blueberry fruit. There's a lurking creamy sweetness in the middle palate but this wine will need time to absorb its substantial ripe tannins. Showing more depth than a barrel sample indicated last spring.
