點(diǎn)擊次數(shù)：6801

An austere wine with candied cherry and citrus peel aromas. Inordinately hard and sharp in the mouth, with sour berry flavors and no soft spots. Exceedingly fresh and snappy, but a big step down from previous vintages.——M.S.(2/1/2010)—— 82

A little jammy and heavy at first, but airing gives it better focus. The palate runs full and lush, with sweet tannins running alongside blackberry, cassis and chocolate flavors. Holds it together on the finish, but overall the wine is more generic than individual.——M.S.(8/1/2009)—— 87

Leathery and light, and not strong in the area of true Cabernet character. Meaning there isn’t much richness or weight, and the berry fruit is bland. Okay, but lacks punch.——M.S.(7/1/2004)—— 84

Some spicy red-fruit aromas along with hints of citrus rind and pine needles signal freshness. Solid plum and raspberry flavors confirm its medium weight and middle-of-the-road aspirations. On the back end, smooth oak is a good touch. —M.S. ——M.S.(5/1/2003)—— 86

Some dusty, leathery aromas start this wine out, and the bouquet never matures beyond leaf and forest floor. Some sweet grapey flavors chime in on the palate, and that taste is something similar to sugar beets. The light cherry-tinged finish offers a bit of depth, but not much. ——M.S.(11/1/2002)—— 84
