From a veteran producer that’s been crafting elegant Cabs for over 20 years. Deep aromas of currants, plums, olives and smoky oak. In the mouth it’s fruity, spicy and soft, almost feminine, with velvety tannins. Drinks beautifully now but has the balance to last.——W.E.(11/15/1999)—— 92

Anticipation runs high for a wine like this. The aroma is all black currants and oak, with an herbaceous streak. Tastes very young and tight. Tannins are creamy, but considerable. The oak also is considerable. Seems to have the fruity stuffing and balance for the long haul. Still, even in its youth, it’s quite an impressive wine, defined by elegance and pedigree.——S.H.(9/1/2000)—— 90
