The 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa, produced from a blend of Oakville and Pope Valley vineyards, possesses a deep ruby/purple color in addition to elegant black currant and cherry flavors intermixed with notions of earth, licorice, and spice box. It is a medium-bodied, exuberant, well-made, straightforward Cabernet to drink over the next 7-8 years. (Release date 5/06) Tel. (707) 963-5711; Fax (707) 963-7518

I like this 100% Cab a lot for its distinguished mouthfeel. Classy and refined, with the balance of a great wine region. The grapes come from the winery’s vineyards across the valley, and show the blender’s art in the refined tannins and seamless integration of fruit and oak. Deeply flavored, it will hold for a decade. Available only through the winery’s Wine Club. ——S.H.(4/1/2007)—— 92

Here’s a good Napa Cab at a decent price that will take some cellar age. Mainly from Rutherford grapes, it’s showing some stiff tannins, but, with polished cherry, herb and oak flavors, it drinks well now, and should develop for five years. ——S.H.(12/15/2006)—— 87
