Didn't show well. Not past it's prime but 04 and 97 were much better. Very California.

Strong, powerful Cabernet Sauvignon, with rich red fruit and a smooth finish. Not as complex as the 2000 vintage but still an excellent California Cabernet.

Had the 2003 on 7/8/19. Really very nice on the nose with black fruit. Really smooth drinking. Totally mellowed tannins lets the fruit and acid show through really nicely. I’d have one more but would like to have more.

Dried plum and brown sugar on the nose. Super juicy body, with some smokey notes upfront. Mid palate is a tart blueberry or currant. Finishes with a lot of heat. What a great birthday gift!

Awesome! If you love a big Napa Cab this bottle is what it's all about. Nice balance of fruit, soft tannins, and alcohol is just right. Really enjoyed this bottle. Highly recommended if you can find one.
