The 1994 and 1995 Cabernet Sauvignons possess tart acidic profiles similar to the 1994 and 1995 Merlots, but they also exhibit more fruit, intensity, and character. They reveal aromas of nicely smoked, toasty barrels, ripe cherry and redcurrant fruit, and medium-bodied, moderately tannic personalities. The 1995 contains sweeter fruit than the more streamlined, compressed 1994. Both wines should age well for 10-15 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.
