Starting the reds and showing both red and black fruits, herbs, earth and hints of spice, the 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon is medium-bodied, supple and polished on the palate, with medium depth, good acidity and an enjoyable finish. Enjoy it over the coming 5-6 years. Drink now-2019. Tel. (509) 522-9912; www.beresanwines.com

This is the vinous equivalent of a high-wire acrobatic performance. Bright, impeccably clean red currant and raspberry fruit is sculpted into a tight and balanced wine underscored with black olive. Everything is ripe and polished and, most importantly, proportionate, including the alcohol, a moderate 13.8%.——P.G.(8/1/2008)—— 92

This Cabernet from the estate’s Waliser and Yellow Jacket vineyards has been blended with about 7% Pepper Bridge Malbec. As with Beresan’s other 2004 releases, this is well made but significantly lighter than previous vintages. The fruit tastes of pretty strawberry and cherry with a hint of bell pepper; the oak adds a dusty cinnamon and mocha note to it. It’s all proportionate and very well made, just not showing the customary depth and detail. ——P.G.(3/1/2007)—— 87
