An extroverted wine, the cassis liqueur, spice, sage, and rosemary-scented 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon is fairly priced. Softly textured, medium-bodied, and boisterously fruity, this offering is jam-packed with herb-laced dark fruits as well as spices. Its edgeless, supple, long finish displays additional notes of sage-tinged dark berries. Drink it over the next 7 years.
