The deep ruby/purple-hued 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon (8,000 cases) possesses sweet black currant notes, a touch of American oak, a good, chunky, muscular personality, and plenty of length and size. Although it is not terribly complex or nuanced, it should drink well for 10-12 years. Tel. (707) 963-5711; Fax (707) 963-7518

Nice and easy Cabernet, with a real touch of class. This wine is dry and balanced and a little tannic, and the herb and currant flavors are splashed with a sweet perfume of oak.——S.H.(10/1/2004)—— 86
