"Compared with previous vintages, the oak has been pulled way back here. The aromas of blackberry and plum show a bit of reduction. Lightly sweet plum flavors follow. The tannins give a light grip. There's much enjoyment to be had. Sean P. Sullivan"

"The oak (40% new French and American) is up front, with aromas of barrel spices, cocoa and generous amounts of vanilla followed by cherries and blue fruit. This wine is velvety in feel, displaying a mixture of fruit and barrel that carries through the finish. The oak influence is heavy but the appeal is impossible to ignore."

"The H3 Cab is darker, more tannic and a bit earthier than its companion Merlot, but just as good. Tart currant and berry flavors are annotated with streaks of licorice, earth, and leather. Excellent length and concentration."

"Quite firm and focused, with a dominating scent of cut tobacco. The black cherry fruit is set against juicy acids, and rolls into a finish with streaks of licorice and more of that cut tobacco flavor."

"The H3 Cab comes across as a more tightly defined, sharp-edged version of the Merlot. Same berry flavors, a bit more acid, and a sense that the wine goes deeper into the palate, though with less breadth. It feels taut in the middle, as if needing more bottle age and/or breathing time to flesh out, but the structure is sound and the flavors clean and varietal."

"The blend includesMerlot andCabernet Franc, and it has a sleek and deep streak of cassis and berry fruit. The AVA is wind-blown and the reds develop powerful tannins; the trick is to keep them under control. Here they contribute earth and black olive flavors, and a very dry astringency, but all is in excellent balance."
