The 2004 Camaspelo is 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, and 10% Cabernet Franc. The aromatics include herbal notes, pencil lead, espresso, black currants and blackberry liqueur. This is followed by a plush wine with big-time depth and concentration, ripe black fruit flavors, and, amazingly, a sense of elegance. The 45+ second finish is sweet and pure. The tannins are well concealed which will permit this wine to provide pleasure through 2030. If that is not enough, I tasted a barrel sample of a 2005 Grenache which rivals the best grown in the USA. Could it be that before long Manfred Krankl of SQN will be known as the Christophe Baron of the Central Coast? Tel. (509) 526-0686; www.cayuse.com

This Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cab Franc blend is drinking very well at three plus years of age, with plenty of sweet fruit wrapped around the herbs. Bay leaf, complex herbs, and a mix of fruits that runs from spicy cranberry to red apple, cherry, plum and on into semi-tropical with hints of papaya. This is remarkable for its multi-faceted flavors and almost indescribable complexity. The nose shows the earthy compost, while the fruit shines in the mouth.——P.G.(11/1/2008)—— 94
