Readers should search out some of the 80,000-case cuvee of 2000 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa, a blend of 78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc, and 2% Petit Verdot. The dark ruby/purple color is followed by a wine with excellent purity, structure, and length. This fine example of a French-styled Cabernet with California's sweet, ripe fruit will drink well for 8-12 years.
