The 1999 Cabernet Sauvignon's dense purple color is followed by scents of new oak, licorice, and cassis. It is medium to full-bodied, with an impressive attack as well as mid-palate, but a narrow, austere, tannic finish. If this wine fleshes out, it will deserve a rating in the upper eighties. The tannin may prove problematic. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2015. Tel. (707) 944-1364; Fax (707) 944-1252
