The ripe 2000 Cabernet Sauvignon displays a style somewhere between a Pauillac and St.-Emilion. A dense purple color is accompanied by aromas of black currants, tobacco, licorice, and French oak. Spicy and medium to full-bodied, with considerable depth and richness, it can be drunk now and over the next 10-15 years.
