Chiarello's 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon Eileen is also quite ripe and racy, but here the fruit has more freshness, minerality and verve. Super-ripe black currants, cassis, menthol and violets are layered into the sexy, inviting finish. The ripeness of the year comes through, but the Eileen is better balanced than the Bambino.

Super-ripe black currants, cassis, menthol and violets are layered into the sexy, inviting finish. The ripeness of the year comes through, but the Eileen is better balanced than the Bambino. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2015. Chef Michael Chiarello makes these wines with oenologist Thomas Rivers Brown. The 2010s have always had a distinctly super-ripe quality, something that has only become more accentuated over the last year. Tel. (707) 256-0750; wines@chiarellovineyards.com

The 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon Eileen is a racy, layered wine bursting with dark red berries, flowers, licorice and new leather. It shows better balance and a bit more restraint (in relative terms) than the Bambino.
