Score 85-87/100 · Robert Parker, Dec 2000
This is a harmonious, complex effort that would be more comfortable in a Bordeaux tasting. The 1999 Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville shows a saturated ruby/purple color in addition to an excellent, pure nose of black currants intermixed with spicy oak and minerals. However, the wine is compressed and lean in the mouth, with the zesty acidity giving the impression of an attenuated, pinched finish. (Not yet released) Tel.
