Simi’s 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve suggests this winery may be being re-energized with new life ... which it desperately needs. A dense ruby/purple color is followed by aromas of cocoa, bitter chocolate, black currants, and spice. Medium-bodied and elegant with sweet tannin, excellent concentration as well as balance, and a savory, long finish, it can be enjoyed now and over the next 10-12 years. A 2004 Chardonnay and 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon Landslide were also tasted, but did not make the grade. (Release date 2/06)Tel. (707) 433-6981; Fax (707) 433-6253
