A superb 1993 Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine exhibits an opaque purple color, and a superb nose of juicy black fruits, earth, licorice, and toasty oak. The wine is full-bodied, thick, and rich, yet well-balanced, with well-integrated acidity and tannin. This youthful, large-scaled Cabernet should hit its stride in 3-4 years and last for 15-20. This impressive wine was bottled without fining or filtering.Tel. (707) 942-9448

Attractive floral and blackberry flavors follow through on the palate, picking up a nice, toasty, smoky oak feel. Firmly tannic but balanced, it should be drinking well around 1998. 1,173 cases made. -
