The 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon Sonoma exhibits a dense ruby/purple-hued color as well as a pleasant nose of loamy soil, sandalwood, black currants, cherries, and tobacco leaf. The wine is soft, round, generous, and ideal for drinking over the next 7-10 years. Tel. (707) 963-2736

This is a good Cabernet, dry and varietal, with cassis and coffee flavors farmed in rich, fine tannins. There’s a rustic edge to the finish, so drink now. ——S.H.(11/1/2006)—— 84
