Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, August 1999

...already drawing attention in insider circles. The first release from this 7-acre vineyard, the 1996, exhibits a dense, dark ruby/purple color, as well as a restrained but promising nose of black currants, blackberries, new oak, and minerals. The wine is sweet, elegant, and medium to full-bodied, with high tannin and an austere finish. The oak is nicely meshed, and the texture is attractive and chewy. If the tannin softens and its bouquet becomes more forthcoming, this 1996 Cabernet Sauvignon may merit a higher score. Anticipated maturity: 2001-2014. By the way, this wine improved significantly with exposure to air. The tannin became sweeter and better integrated after sixty minutes of aeration.

Packs in lots of delicious flavors, from the ripe, plump plum, blackberry, black cherry and spice notes to the pretty toasty, buttery oak shadings. Very complete, dark, complex and concentrated, though the tannins are fine and integrated...
