Intense black cherry, plum, chocolate, vanilla and leafy herb aromas, with similar flavours. Chewy tannins are tight now and are likely to soften with another year in the bottle. (LM) $100

The 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa (78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Franc, and 2% Petit Verdot) possesses a sweet, jammy bouquet of black currants intermixed with barbecue smoke, tobacco, espresso, and herbs. It offers a sexy, fleshy entry, but falls off at the back of the palate. Although heady, with plenty of superficial, up-front fruit, there is not much substance or follow through on the palate. Drink it over the next 7-8 years. (Release date 2/08) Tel. (800) 273-8809; Fax (707) 944-2817
