An impressively-colored, rich, full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine may merit a higher score if it develops additional complexity. Certainly there is no deficiency in richness or extract. The wine displays a pungent black-cherry, herb, and smoky nose, top notch, chewy, pure, ripe, blackcurrant flavors, adequate acidity, and a soft, tannic finish. Approachable now, it promises to be at its best in 2-4 years and keep for 15 or more.Tel. (707) 942-0930.

Earthy currant and cherry flavors are submerged beneath the tannins, but it's rich and concentrated. Drinkable now. 987 cases made. -
