Brander keeps trying to get Cabernet ripe down in Santa Ynez, and while they sometimes come close, it’s like horseshoes: close doesn’t count at this price. Even in this hot vintage, the wine has a tough astringency, and less than generous flavors. Oddly, I liked the regular ’04 Cab better. ——S.H.(12/31/2006)—— 83
