Estimate
Rich and complex yet restrained in style, with pretty coffee, currant, black cherry, spice and anise flavors that fan out nicely, this California Cabernet turns particularly elegant and polished on the long finish.
...aromatic nose of cassis, roast coffee, game, smoky oak and chocolate...Lush, rich and deep; has a pliancy and degree of early personality I find in only the very best young California cabernets...Finishes fairly tannic but very long...
The color is opaque purple, and the wine reveals more vanillin, a touch of mint, and plenty of black currant fruit in its moderately intense aromatics. A more stylish, restrained, less exuberant example than the 1996 Oakville...
