Beautiful expression of cabernet. Aged tobacco, dried cherries, herbal and slightly vegital. Classic cab.

Beautifully balanced, youthful and gorgeous. Balance of both red and black fruit. Oak frames the rich beautiful fruit.

Dusky tones of grilled plums, redwood forest and balsam fill the aromas of this full-bodied, ultrasmooth wine. Very ripe dried-fruit and dark chocolate flavors take over the palate.

Gentle in texture and abundant in flavor, this velvety wine exudes delicious black cherries, mellow nutmeg and vanilla, dark chocolate and mint notes on a rich bed of soft tannins.

A velvety, seamless texture and subtly layered fruit, spice and cream flavors make this rich and full-bodied wine practically irresistible. Generous red and black cherries, dark plums, light vanilla and nutmeg accents fill out the expansive frame of this luxurious wine. Best–2030

Rich, lush and mouth filling, this deceptively full-bodied blend of mostly Merlot and Petite Sirah shows a soft touch on the palate, oozing milk chocolate, mocha and cooked cherry flavors on a soft frame of melted tannins. - Jim Gordon

Classic fruit flavors shine through in this well-structured, well-balanced, not-overly oaky or sweet-tasting wine. Hints of black olive and rosemary dress up the core of black cherries and blackberries while moderate tannins add a lip-smacking grip.

Mostly Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2019 Tarot comes from a mix of valley floor sites and was raised in mostly neutral French oak. It's a smoking value and offers lots of sweet red and black fruits, notes of herbes de Provence and spice, medium body, ripe, soft tannins, and outstanding length. It's not going to make terribly old bones, but this beauty will put a smile on your face any time over the coming 7-8 years, if not longer.
