High alcohol, approaching 16%, compromises this wine. If you can get past the heat and superripeness, it defines one aspect of the modern style, in a flashy, Napa way. Offers massive waves of jammy blackberries and mocha, and is probably best now and for a couple of years. ——S.H.(6/1/2010)—— 89

Tannins and acids mark this wine, even at nearly four years. Remember, it’s from an appellation with a tendency for toughness. Yet the blackberry, black cherry and chocolate-mint flavors are delicious. Shows Atlas Peak Cab at its complex, food-loving best. Drink now through 2009.——S.H.(9/1/2007)—— 92

The winemaker emphasizes artisanal techniques on mountain fruit, and this 100% Cabernet certainly has an authentic, handmade quality. It’s dry, fairly soft and rich in ripe, thick tannins. The fruit is fully ripened, suggesting cherry and blackberry jam with a hint of olive tapenade. Try it now. A wine to watch. ——S.H.(6/1/2006)—— 91
