| 1991 Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon |
| Dark ruby in colour ; some bell pepper on the nose, but the currant aromas dominate ; excellent concentration of black currant fruit flavours - fine acidity - soft and mature - full bodied ; finishes very long and firm. |
| |
| 1992 Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon |
| Dark ruby, with purple edges ; a bit heady on the nose - spices, cedar and dark berry fruit ; round, full bodied, with rich concentration of blackberry and currant fruit flavours - supple on the palate; extends out to a marvellous finish - longer and more forward than the '91. |
| |
| 1993 Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon |
| Very dark ruby with purple rim ; deep and penetrating aromas - blackberries and some tantalizing and inviting cedar; on the palate it is rich and round - blackberry and black currant fruit, with an oak tinged frame - full and fat; finishes very long, with the fruit dominating. |
| |
| 1994 Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon |
| Extremely dark - black/purple ; deep, intense aromas of dark berry fruit, spicy oak and some bell pepper ; sweet black currant fruit - deeply concentrated ; a long finish that lasts and lasts - berry fruit, and just a hint of oak. Extremely delicious ! |

| 1995 Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon |
| Dark purple ruby in colour ; aromas of cedar mixed with spices and a bit of oak, with the typical black currant fruit, and just a hint of bell pepper ; full and velvety smooth on the palate - a mix of dark currant fruit - sweet edged ; the longest finish of the group - very long and satisfying fruit levels. This wine is most approachable and very good !! |

| 1992 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon |
| Very dark and dense purple ruby ; spicy black currant aromas - touch of vanillin oak ; hugely concentrated - rich - really deep, with magnificent blackberry and currant fruit, extending out to an extremely long finish. |
| |
| 1993 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon |
| Another deep, dark coloured wine ; heavily concentrated dark berry fruit aromas ; on the palate it offers up sweet edged and intense black currant flavours - some tannins in evidence, but it finishes long and with great depth of the sweet berry fruit. Needs some cellaring to reach drinking state, but it will also keep for a very long time |
| |
| 1994 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon |
| Very dark - dense looking purple/black colour ; aromas - toasty oak/black currants/cedar/spices, but the fruit is strongest ; rich and supple on the palate - full and rich - heavy concentration of blackberry and black currant fruit ; another very long finish. This is another wine for the long pull. |
