點擊次數：2523

Makes for nice drinking right now, because of the abundance of forward, jammy blackberry and cherry fruit. On the other hand, the tannins are considerable, and the acidity is evident, so it could age over the next six years.——S.H.(4/1/2011)—— 90

A Bordeaux blend based on Cab Franc, this is a little lighter in body than traditional Cabernet Sauvignon, but shows the hallmarks of great Napa wine in the soft, rich, sweet tannins and ultraripe cherry puree and milk chocolate flavors, compounded with rich toasty oak. ——S.H.(12/15/2006)—— 92

Really good claret, in a Napa-Bordeaux sense. It’s based mainly on Cab Franc and Merlot, and is soft and polished, with a cherry-chocolate core. A splash of Cabernet Sauvignon adds a touch of deeper structure. This beguiling wine is like Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers in consummate artistry.——S.H.(12/15/2005)—— 92
