This year's Anthology, a blend of all five Bordeaux varieties, is not up to more recent vintages. The wine is a little slipshod, with an overly soft, gluey mouthfeel and a simple structure to the ripe fruit. Drink now.——S.H.(7/1/2006)—— 83

Made from all five major varieties, this Napa blend seems built for early drinking; the soft finish does not suggest ageability. At the same time, it’s quite pleasant and complex now, with well-developed flavors and a classic mouthfeel.——S.H.(12/1/2005)—— 88

Absolutely delicious, a fat, sumptuous wine that flatters the palate from beginning to end. Smells plush, brimming with currants and fancy oak trimmings, and turns lush and complex with fruit in the mouth. Best to drink it soon, in the fullness of youth. ——S.H.(6/1/2004)—— 92
