Winemaker Notes
Explosive wine! 1997 is the best vintage yet. The nose has black raspberries, coffee, and sweet tobacco. The palate brings out black berries, roasted nuts, fine tannins, and cassis. Saturated purple in color almost opaque. The wine is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from this special estate vineyard on the western hills of the Napa Valley.
Professional Ratings

Wine Spectator
Dark and dense, with a strong pine and mint flavor dominating the rich, earthy currant and bay leaf. A big, broad-shouldered, immensely flavored wine.

Wine Enthusiast
Fairly heavy and full, with a powerfully spicy and chocolaty nose. Dark-fruit and herb tastes are accented by a strong shot of coffee from the oak. The finish is tannic and drying, with more of that coffee and also some notes of licorice. Perfectly chunky, in the Napa/Oakville style.
