Roughly half Cabernet Sauvignon, one-fourth Cab Franc and the rest a blend of Merlot and Malbec, the 2007 Old Olive Block shows crisp plum fruit with chocolate and cedar overtones. Soft, dusty tannins fade gracefully on the finish. Drink now–2017. ——J.C.(6/1/2010)—— 89

A Bordeaux-inspired blend of 46% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Franc and 1% Malbec, this is a firmly structured wine that seems meant to age. Dark coffee and plum aromas are garnished with a dash of vanilla, while the flavors add tobacco to the mix. Finishes crisp and somewhat tannic, so hold 2–3 years and see what develops.——J.C.(11/1/2006)—— 87
