The 1993 Cabernet Sauvignon Limited Reserve offers up a moderately intense nose of sour cherries, toasty, smoky new oak, and vanillin. Although crisp, with high acidity, the wine's more intense flavor profile helps to push the acidity to the background. This is a medium-bodied, fresh, and vibrant wine, but the acidic edge will always subdue and restrain the wine's richness, as well as conceal its flavors and texture. It will age for 15+ years.I realize its wines are commercially successful, but to my mind, this winery still practices the lamentable technique of adding too much acidity to their wines, particularly the reds. The wines too often possess a compact, compressed, tart character, simply because the added acidity lowers the wine's PH, obstructing and shielding the wine's texture, expansiveness, and flavors behind an abrasive wall of acid.Tel.
