This is the most expensive newly released Cherryblock ever, $20 more than the 2007. It’s quite a plush wine, softly velvety and rich in cherry and oak flavors. Already throwing considerable sediment, it’s on the glidepath to a long, useful life.——S.H.(12/15/2011)—— 91

A lovely Cabernet. It comes from the winery’s vineyard in the far southern part of the valley, not far from the Carneros line. The wine is medium-bodied, dry, silky and elegantly tannic, with complex cherry, currant, cola and cedar flavors. Should develop bottle complexity over the next 6–8 years.——S.H.(3/1/2011)—— 92

Aging quietly in 70% new French oak, the 2001 is potentially the winery’s finest Cherryblock ever. Crammed with berry fruit and tasting softer and plusher than earlier efforts, if the oak integrates into the wine it may merit an even higher score on release.——W.E.(7/1/2003)—— 90

Chocolaty and spicy, loaded with cinnamon and anise, and backed by sturdy plum-flavored fruit. The mouthfeel is creamy and rich; the finish, long and oaky.——W.E.(7/1/2003)—— 90

The 1994 vintage saw the largest production of Cherryblock yet achieved, at 2,500 cases. But could the selection have been more severe? The wine seems mature and ready to drink, with a pleasant blend of toast and cassis, coffee and some herbaceous notes.——W.E.(7/1/2003)—— 88
