The 2007 The High Trellis Cabernet Sauvignon spent 20 months in French and American oak. It offers up cassis and violets along with pepper and earth notes. On the palate, black fruits dominate the nicely concentrated flavors. There is enough structure for 2-3 years of additional bottle age. It will be at its best from 2011 to 2019. The d’Arenberg portfolio is loaded with values. The winery works with over 140 growers to fashion their superb blends. For the 2008 vintage, the entry-level The Stump Jump series has been expanded.Importer: Old Bridge Cellars, Napa, CA; www.oldbridgecellars.com

A fruit-forward nose belies the chewy tannins and more serious leather tones that come through in the mouth. Acidity stands out on the medium finish. Give it a year or two for better integration, then try with a grilled steak. ——W.E.(6/1/2010)—— 88
