Although closed, this wine displays plenty of potential, and may merit an outstanding score with another 12-18 months of bottle age. The saturated ruby/purple color is accompanied by a tight but promising nose of black fruits, damp earth, wood, and spice. Impressive in the mouth for its purity, elegance, and balance, this well-structured, medium-weight Cabernet Sauvignon has plenty going for it, but patience is required. Anticipated maturity: 2001-2015.Tel. (707) 433-6981; Fax (707) 433-6253
