Exhibiting a deeper ruby/plum/purple color, the 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon Chris’s Cuvee offers notes of new saddle leather, earth, black currants and cherries. The initial attack is impressive, but the wine falls off somewhat in the mouth, which is atypical for a 2007. This blend of 83% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12.5% Merlot and the rest Petit Verdot is a good, solidly made but uninspiring effort. Drink it over the next 10 years. Tel. (707) 942-6175; Fax (707) 942-6153

Quite a good wine, rich and ripe, with plump blackberry, cherry, anise and cedar flavors, wrapped into firm tannins. Feels a bit rugged and astringent, but could blossom over the next 5–6 years.——S.H.(6/1/2011)—— 89
