ROBERT PARKER REVIEW: The superb 1999 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa (1,857 cases) is more California-styled with lavish toasty new oak intermixed with jammy black cherries, black currants, licorice, and tobacco notes. It is a dense, opulent, cassis-flavored effort with loads of fruit and glycerin. This seductive Cabernet will drink well for 10-15 years.

WINE SPECTATOR RATING: 93

WINE SPECTATOR REVIEW: A tremendous wine, dark, polished and deeply concentrated, with layers of plush plum, blackberry and black cherry, showing touches of herb and black olive. Finishes with a broad, rich, supple texture and wonderful length.

Description

Black cherry and chocolate aromas mingled with hints of sandalwood, tobacco, and graphite. In the mouth the wine opens with rich dark cherry and licorice flavors that flow evenly across the palate. It is a well-balanced wine, with good structure, and grippy tannins.
