點擊次數(shù)：2288

The wine comes from the estate vineyard, in the northeast corner of the appellation near Robert Young, whose Cabs and Bordeaux blends are no slouches. This wine shows meticulous attention to detail, in both growing and winemaking. Drily tannic, it has delicious blackberry, currant, herb, Chinese tea and cedar flavors, and possesses the balance to age for a decade.——S.H.(7/1/2008)—— 92

This is dry and slightly herbal, with sage and dill notes to the cherry and blackberry flavors. But it’s those Alexander Valley tannins, so soft and mellow, that mark it. Good now, and should ride out the next eight years.——S.H.(7/1/2008)—— 87
