The 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon Wild Boar Vineyard displays more civilized tannin than the 2001, but is again a big, chunky, monolithic, corpulent red with loads of fruit, body, and muscle. It is just hard to control this beast, which certainly merits its name. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2017. (Release date 8/05)Tel. (707) 963-5711; Fax (707) 963-7518

Perhaps even more closed and tannic than the Hillside Reserve, a big wine with a good future. Oozes ripe, pure black currant flavors, well-oaked, and is totally dry. Give it until 2008, then try again. ——S.H.(10/1/2005)—— 92
