Score 88/100 · Drink 2007-2020, Robert Parker, Feb 2005
In addition to the earthy, almost fresh cow dung smell, the 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon SLV possesses attractive black raspberry, plum, and cherry notes. Medium-bodied with a silky texture, good flesh, fine balance, and a pleasant finish, it may be more interesting in another 2-3 years. It should last for 10-15. Tel. (707) 944-2020; Fax (707) 257-7501

Score 86/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Jan 2005
Saturated ruby-red. Cassis, mocha, earth and smoky oak on the nose. Moderately sweet, pliant flavors of dark berries, plum, sassafras and chocolate. Finishes with fairly sweet but slightly dry tannins and late notes of chocolate and dill. Not especially complex but not bad.
