With its dark garnet hue, this 2007 Caldwell Vineyard Proprietary Red Blend introduces itself with aromas of black and red berries, earth, smoke, and dried Mediterranean herbs. The full-bodied palate is lush with very dark stone fruits and berries, black pepper, tobacco and licorice. Fine tannins and a harmonious balance of acidity ensure a long life ahead for this hedonistic drink. The length is distinctive and long, studded with notes of black fruit and dark spice.

Leonetti Cellar Merlot
Walla Walla
Winemaker's notes:
This bright, aromatic, vivid wine opens with a bowlful of berries and cherries. There is plenty of acid under the ripe fruit, which takes center stage at the moment. The significant addition of Carmenère (from the Seven Hills vineyard) adds black pepper to the engaging mix of flavors. Despite its youth, the flavors persist for a remarkably long finish.

2005 Robert Mondavi
Napa Reserve Cabernet
"OUTSTANDING: a wine of superior character and style", says Wine Spectator. "Sleek, elegant and polished. A refined yet rich and complex effort, with a mix of mint, currant, bay leaf, sage and dusty berry flavors. Firms up on the finish, where the tannins are firm yet supple and integrated. Best from 2009 through 2015."

2007 Silver Oak
Napa Valley Cabernet
Winemaker's notes:
The 2006 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is a complex and refined wine that develops beautifully in the glass to reveal multi-layered nuances of aromas. It has a dark ruby color and an enticing nose of cassis, black truffles and violets. On the palate, the wine has an elegant attack and bursts with flavors of fresh forest fruit, potpourri and Asian spices. It has a long finish with smooth well-integrated tannins. With proper cellaring it should give drinking pleasure through 2026.

Napa Valley Cabernet
97 points Wine Enthusiast
"So delicious now, you can hardly keep your hands off it. Blackberry tart, ripe blueberry, cassis, milk chocolate, licorice and sweet, smoky cedar flavors flood the mouth, dramatically huge and memorable, and lasting long into the finish. The tannins are obvious, but sweetly ripe and soft. A brilliant evocation of Napa Cabernet, despite a high production level of nearly 30,000 cases, which is about the same size as a Bordeaux first growth. Shows the class and potency this bottling has exhibited for many years, and believe it or not, the price is a is a relative bargain these days. Drink now -2020."

Les Pavots
Knights Valley Red
#50 Wine Spectator Top 100 of 2011
Winemaker's notes:
The 2008 Les Pavots reveals a deep, layered bouquet of black cherry, licorice, black currant, blueberry pie, and blackberry combined with chocolate, vanilla, coffee, black tea, subtle spicy notes of cloves and cinnamon and its distinctive ‘garrigue' touch. The complexity and intense character continue into the finish with a massive mouthfeel, lasting impressions on the palate and round, silky tannins. 2008 Les Pavots will benefit from three years of cellaring for near term enjoyment and will age gracefully for two decades or more.

2006 Colgin Cariad
Winemaker notes from Allison Tauziet:
"The 2006 vintage of our Cariad blend is a formidable wine. With big brooding aromas of grilled steak juices, roasted coffee grounds and tar, the wine certainly makes a big first impression. Given more time, one can begin to see that there is always more than meets the eye with our delicious Cariad blend. Fragrant aromas of spiced coffee cake, crushed rock and wet loamy earth come out as the wine is coaxed with air. The texture is both voluptuous and coating. The lusciousness of the tannin makes it appealing upon release, but as always with this bold and intensely structured wine, we recommend a minimum of 5 years of aging."

2010 "The Beautiful Syrah"
95% Syrah co-fermented with 5% Viognier, K Vintners' 2010 "Beautiful" Syrah Walla Walla Valley has beauty and brains. It leads with an inviting perfume of red and black fruits lifted by spicy, floral notes and hints of smoke, but there's a lot going on on the palate too. It's intense and lush, with incredible concentration and density. Minerals and sweet tobacco notes accent layers of fruit and exotic spice on the finish. A "beautiful" rendition of classic of Walla Walla Syrah.

2009 "Ovide"
There were only 217 cases of Ovide produced from the Cabernet and Syrah grown at the biodynamically farmed En Cerise vineyards in Walla Walla Valley. Named for Charles' father, Robert Ovide, the 2009 is earthy, with dried lavender, rosemary and olive aromas and flavors to complement the gamey, peppery, black fruited palate. Fascinating and full.

2002 Robert Mondavi
Napa Reserve Cabernet
Bright ruby. Deep, sappy aromas of blackcurrant, licorice, graphite, sassafras and espresso. Fat, rich and broad, with layered flavors of cassis, mocha and sexy oak. Offers an impressive combination of fullness and vibrancy. Finishes very long and fine, with cassis, mineral and sweet oak notes. I suspect this wine will develop in a more interesting way than many 2002s with even higher alcohol and lower acidity.

2007 Beringer Napa Valley
Private Reserve Cabernet
97 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
"One of the finest Private Reserves made over the last two decades, this phenomenal wine is obviously still an infant in terms of development, but it exhibits a dense purple color as well as an extraordinary nose of blackberries, white chocolate, licorice, tobacco leaf, smoky barbecue, charcoal and a burning ember-like note reminiscent of a Graves from Bordeaux. A dense, luscious, full-bodied, opulent style, with sweet tannin, this locked and loaded, intense, full throttle Private Reserve should be accessible in 5-6 years and last for 25-30." - Robert Parker

2008 Viader Napa Valley Red
Good full red. Enticing, complex nose combines aromas of cherry, raspberry, violet, minerals, coffee and spices. Broad, lush and smooth, with pretty floral lift to the red fruit and spice flavors. Nicely delineated in the middle palate and long on the back end, where the ripe tannins coat the teeth. The crop level here was reduced by a bad flowering, said Alan Viader, but the loose clusters were an advantage later in the season. The harvest was ultimately very early. - Stephen Tanzer

2008 Continuum
Napa Valley Red
The 2008 Continuum is wonderfully balanced and deeply sensual wine; we believe it is the finest wine we have ever made. The majority of the fruit, more than 70%, is from our Pritchard Hill estate vineyards and these higher elevation sites with their red rocky soils grow Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Petite Verdot and Merlot with real nerve, vitality and concentration. In general, the 2008 lots, especially those from Pritchard Hill had a wild, mineral power and texture which is readily apparent in the finished wine. The 2008 has great density and life; a powerful core of ripe fruit perfectly balanced by polished, supple tannins leading to a long, nuanced finish. Aromas of black plum, mulberry, and coffee spice lead to black cherry, bitter chocolate, tobacco and graphite flavors. A wine of exquisite power and elegance, its inherent harmony and balance make it delicious now, while assuring tremendous ageabilty.

2009 Plumpjack
Oakville Cabernet
Winemaker's notes:
The 2009 PlumpJack Estate Cabernet is a testament to the impressive terrior of our estate vineyard. While many fought the inclement weather our estate vineyard on the eastern side of Oakville was bathed in sunlight. Classic PlumpJack aromas of black cherry, blackberry, sage, iron filings and anise are followed on the palate with primary flavors of Bing cherry, blackberry, mocha and hints of vanilla.

“Very ripe and woody, with cedary, toasty oak holding the upper hand on roasted meat, ripe currant, sage and licorice. Yet despite all its woody character right now this finishes with a wonderful burst of red currant fruit. Best from 2010 through 2017. 220 cases made.” –James Laube

Dark as night. An absolutely explosive nose of ripe red and black fruits, licorice, coffee, cassis and pine boughs. Palate is gorgeously plush, rich, dense, long, and loaded with fruit. Tannin is smooth and ripe, finish lasts forever. A very flamboyant yet balanced Cabernet.

2008 Insignia
Joseph Phelps
95-97 pts Parker
Tasting Notes: The blend of the 2008 Insignia, 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Petit Verdot and 4% Merlot, is not terribly different from the 2007. However, I suspect the production will be a lot less given the frost damage in early spring. The color is an inky/purple and the wine shows lots of cassis, blueberry, graphite and floral notes, good acidity, stunning concentration and purity, and a long finish. Another great success for Phelps, the 2007 and 2008 Insignias may be the best back-to-back vintages they have produced since the 1995 and 1994.
It appears the 2008 should last for three decades. (95-97 points) Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate (12-23-10)

"The Doctor"
Napa Valley Red
The aromas are complex and layered, consisting of deep plum, orange spice, wild iris, bing cherries, lychee fruit and rustic bramble berry. Masculine tannins balance the bold fruit to give this wine structural elegance. The ensuing flavors are umami-based with hints of cocoa, smoked meats and black fruits.

1998 Burgess Library Cabernet Sauvignon
Youthful with some earthy notes and a rich finish. In some ways, very "European" in style. This delivers Cabernet Sauvignon flavor and notes of plum, strawberry, and anise. A perfect pairing with mushroom ragu, lamb, or a rich beef/ bison cut.
