This 100% Cabernet Sauvignon wine shows why Cab is the grape that made Coonawarra famous. Dense and Port-like in color, the full nose displays cassis, fruit, leather, tobacco, green olive and eucalyptus. Rich and supple on the palate, it still has plenty of backbone. The extracted black cherry flavors, accented by green olive, sun-dried tomato and mint, sit atop some firm tannins. It finishes long, but a little hard, and could use a few years in the cellar.——W.E.(9/1/2001)—— 89
