The Dominus 2009 exemplifies the finest qualities of Cabernet Sauvignon from an ideal vintage. The nose, at once powerful yet restrained, is dense and filled with pure dark berry fruit and hints of sandalwood. On the palate is a harmonious blend of fresh plum and focused minerality with tannins that are firm, round and elegant. Spherical in quality, this wine is complete from start to finish. A sublime vintage.

The nose is intriguing:plum and cassis play with nuances of cedar and spice. Then, a mouthful of rich berry and dark fruit flavors, followed by a lovely and lingering fruitful finish. Notable but well-balanced tannic structure and a pleasing acidity will dance well with a wide range of flavorful meats and savory dishes.

Bonaventure Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is aged in a mix of French and American oak barrels. On the nose there are notes of cassis, plum, and crushed berries (raspberry and blackberry). Also a slight hint of vanilla/oak spice. The palate offers rich red fruits of potent plum, blackberries and spice that carry from entry through mid-palate. Dusty tannins and lingering cassis flavors on the finish.

This 2010 expresses the lush buttery flavor of full-bodied Russian River Chard. The nose gives hints of apple around the pear and light citrus, with a touch of vanilla. On the palate, pear, apple, citrus and butter, with a long well-balanced finish.

Nestled on the western ridge of the Mayacamas Mountains, the Mt. Brave Vineyard succeeds in its struggle to produce fruit of great distinction, as found in this Cabernet Sauvignon, brimming with the violets, minerality, and blueberry aromas one expects from Mt. Veeder. Expressive blue fruit flavors are joined by wet shale and mountain tannins massaged to a mouth-filling crescendo.

Much like that slab of venison on the table calling for a sharper knife. Cabernet Sauvignon has long been favored as the drink of choice with a juicy steak. We say it's the drink of choice with any meal that's met its demise as a worthy adversary.

A clean fresh white, the pleasant '06 20 Gauge Chard starts out slowly then drives it all home with its fine acidity; a good choice with simply prepared seafood dishes.

Bruce Wayne Briana's Blend is deep ruby red in color, full-bodied with rich flavors of blackberry, black cherry, plum, vanilla, and spicy oak.
