| 2007 Fuse Cabernet Sauvignon
91 POINTS, Editor's Choice - "An exotic Cabernet at a great price. Shows classically ripe Napa fruit and tannins, a big,
full-bodied and dramatic wine with blackberry and black currant flavors. The addition of 25% Syrah adds a peppery, teriyaki beef spiciness and meatiness
that’s most welcome. Now-2014."

ONE PUFF, GOOD VALUE - "25% Syrah. Let us start by saying that this is a very deep wine for $20.00, and, more than simply being a very good value, it is a serious Cabernet by any standard. It teams a good bit of rich oak with fairly classic currant fruit and exhibits concentration rarely seen at the price. Although it presently fights with grabby young tannins, its fruit is never hidden or lost, and it is a sure bet to improve for a half-dozen years." - Charlie Olken, Connoisseur’s Guide to California Wine
"Cassis, cedar, earthy, tobacco, black berry, resin, black olive, licorice aromas. Rich, dry, fresh and warm palate with light tannins. Prune, black berry jam, cassis, earthy, meaty, peppery, spicy, coffee and dark chocolate flavours. Finish is hot but has good fruit intensity. The syrah adds a bit of complexity here."
- Anthony Gismondi, Gismondi on Wine, June 2011
92 POINTS - "Wonderful nose of currants and blueberries, with flowers and spices. Full bodied, with firm tannins and a chocolate and berry aftertaste.
This is very pretty. Hard not to drink now with its velvety texture, but it will be better in 2014."
