Note di degustazione
The 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon captivates with an initial burst of black raspberry and clove, then closes in on itself, coming across as youthfully brooding. This is racy and sleek, traversing sweet and sour with its tart wild berry fruits and spices. It's the acidity that really shines here, enlivening the palate while forcing the mouth to water. The 2010 tapers off with notes of hard red candies, licorice and rose. What a darling.

Another smoking 2010 from this team, the 2010 Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is a classic wine from this estate. Lavishly oaked, with gorgeous chocolate, currants, licorice and tobacco leaf on the nose, it hits the palate with full-bodied richness and depth, yet never seems heavy, cumbersome or over the top. In fact, it integrates its oak with time in the glass and shows more and more freshness and elegance. Like the Red Wine release, give it a few years and enjoy bottles through 2030.
(bottled in May of this year; partly vinified in concrete fermenters): Good deep ruby-red. Tight nose offers blackberry, cassis, licorice and minerals. Then juicy and firm in the mouth; more backward than the red blend but already shows outstanding aromatic lift and clarity to the multidimensional flavors of cassis, blueberry, menthol, cedar and milk chocolate. Finishes with substantial dusty tannins and outstanding juicy length. Potentially great wine with a long future.
