The 1998 Cabernet Sauvignon Coliseum Block is impressive. It boasts a dense plum/purple color along with surprising power and density for a 1998, and deep notes of cassis intermixed with licorice, underbrush, and vanilla. This nicely-textured, supple, opulent Cabernet should drink well for 10-12 years. There are only 180 cases of this Cabernet Sauvignon, which is made with the assistance of the well-known Oakville cowboy/rodeo star/winemaker, Nils Venge. (Price not yet determined) Tel.

Big, bright and beautiful, with bing cherry, blackberry, chocolate, vanilla, spice, cedar and herb flavors, all seamlessly integrated. The acidity is a bit bright--the result of a cool year--but the wine is still a top-notch first release for Eureka hotelier Mark Carter.——J.M.(12/31/2001)—— 92
