Score 89/100 · Drink 2000-2012, Robert Parker, Dec 2000

The excellent 1998 Cabernet Sauvignon's bouquet of sweet black currants, toasty oak, spice box, and vanilla is accompanied by a medium to full-bodied wine with sweet tannin and excellent purity. It should drink well for 10-12 years. Tel. (707) 944-1101

Score 88/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous

Medium red. Nutty aromas of redcurrant, tobacco leaf, loam, iron and menthol. Then surprisingly sweet in the middle, with good texture and concentration and a note of menthol. Shows better length and sweeter tannins than the '99 sangiovese. Very good for the year.
