Note di degustazione
(14.1% alcohol): Bright ruby-red. Aromas of dark berries, menthol and black pepper along with mint and herb elements; smells fresh but a bit thin. Then surprisingly fine-grained on the palate, showing good energy to the flavors of dark berries, licorice and spices. Still, there's not quite enough mid-palate stuffing to support the substantial dusty tannins. Finishes with a slightly high-toned suggestion of adhesive tape.

The outstanding 1998 Cabernet Sauvignon, produced from an extremely small crop, is an example of what the Napa Cabernet Sauvignon producers are jokingly saying is "another fine wine from a bad vintage." A rich, full-bodied, dense effort on a fast evolutionary track, the 1998 is loaded with chocolatey, black cherry, and cassis fruit, an open-knit, sexy, expansive texture, outstanding concentration and purity, low acidity, and a fat, chewy finish. It will be drinkable upon release, yet promises to age well for 12-15 years. (Not yet released) Tel. (707) 963-8339; Fax (707) 963-0232
