As usual, the way this Cab feels in the mouth is just wonderful, showing Napa’s preternatural ability to ripen tannins like no one else. It’s a fine 100% Cabernet, flavorful in black currants, black cherries, anise and cedar, with a spicy finish, but it is just a pace off some of the previous vintages, like ’97 and ’99. Drink now through 2010.——S.H.(12/1/2008)—— 89
