Dry and tannic in youth, this Cabernet shows a cool-climate influence in the earthiness and minerality that frame the black currant and oak flavors. It’s a good wine, with a good structure. Give it a few hours of decanting and drink soon.——S.H.(3/1/2012)—— 89

This is a very rich, dry and concentrated Cabernet, but it’s also very tannic. The blackberry, blueberry, cherry and currant flavors are wrapped into tight, hard tannins. Should develop in the bottle over the next six years, but it will always be somewhat tannic. Give it a good decant before serving.——S.H.(9/1/2010)—— 90

A shade too ripe, with a raisiny edge to the blackberries, cherries and chocolate. This 100% varietal Cab also feels soft and hot. But the tannins are wonderfully rich and fine.——S.H.(8/1/2008)—— 85

The appellation is little known because so few wines bear it, but Cabs from here, notably Laurel Glen’s, are notoriously long-lived. This wine is right there in terms of ageability. It’s enormously strong in tannins now, and bone dry, offering only hints of what it could be. But it’s a powerful, masculine wine that should hit its stride after 2010 and hold for another decade.——S.H.(9/1/2006)—— 91
