The bouquet is closed, with only a touch of prune, plum and cranberry aromas emerging. On the palate is raspberry fruit, a hint of veggies and some tight tannins. The finish is lean, and here those tannins assert themselves again in a way that’s more than the fruit calls for. Still, it’s pretty solid Cab. Best Buy. ——M.S.(7/1/2003)—— 86

There’s too much flat-wood flavor here for this wine to be better than acceptable. On both the nose and the palate, flat-wood flavors obscure what fruit lies underneath. Medium-bodied, though appropriately dry, in the mouth.——W.E.(7/1/2002)—— 82
