- Firm, dark, rich and concentrated, with layers of spicy, grapey plum, currant and blackberry, with hints of herb, coffee and cedary oak. The tannins are tight yet ripe and the finish sails on. Best from 2006 through 2012. 7,000 cases made. - WS

- ($54) Bright ruby-red. Cassis, cherry, minerals, flowers and nutty oak on the nose. Suave, intense and light on its feet, with juicy, penetrating flavors of dark berries, spices and mint, enlivened by firm balancing acids and lifted by a floral note. Finishes with fine, firm, dusty tannins and a hint of black pepper.
