A holdover from 1999, this varietal single-vineyard Cabernet offers tree bark, molasses and prune on the nose, while the palate has raspberry flavors sitting front and center, with drying tannins in support. It’s a woody and grabby wine, with vanilla notes toward the end. And at eight years old, it doesn’t appear as though it will improve beyond where it’s at now. So drink soon.——M.S.(2/1/2008)—— 86
