The 2003 is drinking great, the 2004 is delicious and the just released 2005 is gorgeous. And two wines in their appellation series that are of interest are the Carmel "old vine" Carignan & the Carmel Petit Sirah.

Following the Cab I had a Petit Sirah and finished with an old vine Zin PORT that I REALLY enjoyed. The Zin was blended with about 7-8% Petit Sirah & a touch (about 1%) of Cab.
