A delicious purity of fruit flavors gives an almost-sweet quality to this velvety, concentrated and polished wine. Ultraripe blueberries and raspberries ride fine-grained tannins and a full body. Best from 2026.

Lots of plums, darker fruits, chocolate, and incense notes emerge from the 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley, a dense, sweetly fruited, pleasure-bent 2020 that's already drinking nicely. It should keep for 8-10 years and should certainly put a smile on your face.

Ripe and forward, with a mix of plum and red cherry notes backed by nice brambly energy, ending with light licorice and spice accents. Tasted three times, with consistent notes. Drink now through 2026. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. 9,300 cases made.

The 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley) shows good up front fruit. Dark cherry, plum, chocolate, licorice and spice are front and center, but it's hard to get past the astringent tannins. Drink this compact, narrowly build Cabernet over the next handful of years.
