Mainly Cabernet Sauvignon (78%) with the remainder Cabernet Franc, this comes for the high elevation Octave Vineyard in the Walla Walla Valley. This has great a combination of weight and finesse with dense dark fruits, chocolate, green herbs and suggestions of chocolate pie on the palate. Full-bodied and full of verve, watch this outstanding Cabernet Sauvignon evolve over the next ten to fifteen years. Drink 2024-2034

The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Octave Vineyard is intense, with a rich blend of caramel and mocha lifted by minty herbs, finally giving way to rum-soaked currants. This is elegant with velvety textures and ripe red and black fruits, all guided by vibrant acidity as cedary spice and a savory herbal tinge form toward the close. A web of fine-grained tannins envelops the palate as hints of tart blackberry and mineral tones mingle throughout the dramatically long and staining finish. It's powerful, complex and beautifully balanced. This is a blend of 77% Cabernet Sauvignon and 23% Cabernet Franc.

The 2021 Pinot Noir Lemoravo Vineyard is bright and effusive in feel. Sweet dried cherry, cedar, pipe tobacco, mint, crushed flowers and anise give the 2021 a super-appealing upper register. The Lemoravo is the most ethereal of these Pinots.

This winery's owner is longtime Tablas Creek winemaker Neil Collins, so no wonder this Rhône blend of 44% Grenache Blanc, 38% Viognier, 11% Roussanne and 7% Marsanne is masterfully crafted. Aromas of nectarine, melon and wet cement lead into a palate that's both zesty and broad. Apricot and tangerines flavors are cut by stone, chamomile and bright acidity.

With a spicy, vibrant entry of clove and cinnamon, this wine expands into a melded texture and bold flavors of cassis, currant and a bite of watermelon hard candy. Well made, integrated and firm in tannin and oak, it impresses from start to lengthy, spicy finish. — Virginie Boone
