Score 89/100 · Drink 2013-2023, Robert Parker, Jun 2013
The 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon (14.8% natural alcohol) is a blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot and the rest small quantities of Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot. The wine offers rich cassis fruit intermixed with hints of white chocolate and spice box presented in a full-bodied, concentrated, masculine style with light to moderate tannins as well as impressive purity and length. This wine should continue to evolve for a decade or more. Tel. (707) 257-2345; Fax (707) 257-3132
