Thin and acidic-tannic in the mouth, this Cab has cherry, blackberry, herb, bell pepper and tobacco flavors. It needs greater richness.——S.H.(9/1/2008)—— 83

Combines ultraripe black currant, cassis, cherry and coffee flavors with some oak, wrapped in a tart, dry texture that finishes with a sharp edge of tannins. Best to let this still-young wine sit for a year or two. ——S.H.(12/1/2005)—— 85

Ripe and plump in black currant, black cherry jam and mocha flavors, and very well oaked, this wine is soft in tannins and acids. Drinkable, but could use a firmer structure. ——S.H.(11/15/2004)—— 86

Launches with a strong scent of well-charred new oak, plus vanilla and buttered toast. Yet the underlying fruity flavors of blackberry and cassis easily handle it. Smooth and long in the mouth.——S.H.(10/1/2003)—— 87

Herculean efforts went into making this expensive wine rich and complex. They gave it their hearts, but the effort falls short. The vintage didn’t help. It’s partly ripe, partly unripe. It’s rugged in the mouth, with a simple nature, and the finish turns sharp. It’s not going anywhere. ——S.H.(11/15/2002)—— 84
