Score 86/100 · Drink 2006, Robert Parker, Jan 2000

The 1996 Cabernet Sauvignon S.L.V. reveals a moderately pigmented ruby color, as well as a sweet black currant and cherry-scented nose with vanillin and spice in the background. This compressed (because of the wine's aggressive acidity), medium-bodied, narrowly constructed Cabernet is cleanly made and elegant, but lacks depth, richness, and staying power. Drink it over the next 5-6 years. Tel. (707) 944-2020; Fax (707) 257-7501
