Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.
Pretty nose of red and black fruits with light cedar, licorice, spices, light vanilla, herbs, tobacco leaf, chocolates and peppercorn.
Full-bodied and elegant with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate with black currants, blackberries, plums, cherries, cedar, spices, toast, light vanilla, dark chocolates, earth, coffee, peppercorn and black tea.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.
This is a delicious Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa valley. Complex and nicely balanced. Spicy and entertaining.
Rich and fruit forward, and not in your face kind of Napa cabernet. Elegant and fruity, yet subdued some.
Needs 2 hours in the decanter to open up properly, so be patient.
I've had many different vintages of this wine and I really like this vintage.
Delicious now, and will continue to age nicely in the next 7 years.
Good by itself as a sipping wine, or with food like BBQ Meats.
A blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Cabernet Franc and 6% Merlot. Aged in (50% new) French Oak barrels for 22 months.
14.5% alcohol by volume.

I love this wine; I put it up against any of my Napa faves. The cork on this bottle was dried out, but we survived. Great, sublime purple fruit. It's blueberry pie, plum and blackberry, with lively tannins. Well balanced and will probably peak in 3 years. Will see if I have the patience to wait on my last bottle.
