Wonderfully aromatic. Plenty of smoky, fruity and spicy aromas. Medium-bodied, with pleasant fruit character, but slightly hollow center-palate. Best after 2002. 3,685 cases made.James Suckling, Wine Spectator 2002

This elegant, delicate, well-balanced, dark ruby-colored 1999 is made from a blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc. While light, it reveals exceptional purity, sweet, round, strawberry, black cherry, and currant fruit intermixed with subtle wood, and an enticing texture. Drink it over the next 8-10 years. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate # 140
