Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, December 2000

The 1999 Cabernet Sauvignon Inkgrade (300 cases of 15.1% alcohol) has an opaque purple color, an intense, very fragrant nose of creme de cassis, smoky new oak, mineral, and almost floral-infused blueberry and blackberry notes. The wine is unctuously textured, with the new wood totally absorbed. Acidity and tannin are also beautifully integrated. This wine should be relatively accessible upon release, and last for up to two decades.

About Winery

A basement in Humboldt County, outfitted with just two dairy tanks, was the humble beginning of this winery. However, the roots of Behrens & Hitchcock are found in Folie Douce, the award-winning restaurant Lisa Drinkward and Les Behrens launched in 1991 in Arcata, California. While Lisa was developing an incredible, French-inspired menu, Les was busy cultivating a superb wine list and cellar which eventually received the Wine Spectator's Award of Excellence. In the course of creating the wine list, Les met many winemakers and received encouragement from several to begin making his own wine.
