The color of this Reserve is a saturated ruby/purple, and the bouquet of dense blackberries, currants, underbrush, spice, and earth is high class as well as intriguing, clearly 90 point material. However, once the wine hits the mouth, the vintage’s problems are well-displayed. There is considerable austerity, high tannin, and a lack of both mid-palate and depth. Nevertheless, it will be a very good, possibly excellent Cabernet if it sheds more tannin and fleshes out. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2012.Tel. (707) 526-3914
