Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, December 1998

The 1996 Cabernet Sauvignon displays an impressively saturated ruby/purple color, and a tight but promising bouquet of licorice, black currants, and toasty oak. There is more tannin, but it is not intrusive. Fleshy, with fine purity, medium to full body, and a sweet mid-palate and finish, this wine should be cellared for 3-4 years, and consumed over the following 15-20 years.

Wine Spectator, April 2000

This tight, crisp California Cabernet strings together a tasty ensemble of spicy, cedary currant, dried cherry and anise, finishing with a seamless band of tannins. Needs time. Best from 2003 through 2010. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. 1,500 cases made. (JL)
