This is 97% Cabernet Sauvignon with 3% Merlot from Washington state.  Purple in color, ruby at the rim, opaque and bright.  The nose has black cherries, cedar and dust.  Full bodied.  Medium tannins.  On the palate, this is delicious.  Flavors of black cherries, some cassis, spice and cedar.  Good acidity.  Long finish.  At age 18, this is getting close to peak but still packs a punch.  It is a big wine.  Drink over the next ten to fifteen years.  It drinks well on its own and will work well with most (not seafood) dishes.  Roasted Chicken would work nicely.  

Pale ruby in color, mostly clear and bright.  The nose is nice with cherries, slight cinnamon, and a hint of mocha.  Medium bodied.  Lighter tannins.  Good acidity.  On the palate, cherries and slight black cherries with a bit of spice.  Good finish.  This is still on the youthful side of peak but showing some development.  Nice on its own, this would be better with food.  A hearty beef or vegetable stew would work well.  Drink over the next ten years.

This was not as good as a bottle about six months ago.  Not sure if it is fading or just bottle variation.  That said, it was still an interesting and very nice white.  Light golden in color, clear and bright.  The nose is nice with a bit of peach and some salinity.  Medium to full bodied.  On the palate, citrus and a touch of cinnamon.   Nice finish.  This is nice on its own but better with food.  It would go well with pasta with shrimp.  Drink up.  

The label calls this Malvazia but prior vintages refer to it as Malvazija.  Either way it seems to be a type of Malvasia native to the Istrian Penninsula in Croatia.  This wine is very tight and took some time to open.  Light golden in color, clear and bright.  The nose has some limes but is very reticent.  Light to medium bodied.  On the palate, sort of Gewurztraminer-ish, but also tight.  It is better with a bit of food and would be a nice wine with sea food.  Drink over the next year or two.
