This reliable winery has fashioned a nicely textured, richly fruity 1997 Cabernet Sauvignon Alexander Valley offering abundant quantities of cranberry, black currant, and cherry aromas as well as flavors nicely dosed with smoky, toasty oak. This offering is medium to full-bodied, cleanly made, and well-balanced. It is an elegant, stylish effort (atypical for California) that should drink well for 7-10 years. Tel. (707) 431-7644
