Tasting note: Tightly wound, with dense, rich, well-focused cherry and currant flavor that's bright and vivid. This is a compact wine with lovely focus on the fruit, and smooth, polished tannins. Best from 2002 through 2010. 71 cases made. (92pts. JL, Wine Spectator)

Score: 92
Drink: 2002-10
Tasting note: This is a magnificent Cabernet Sauvignon, but, lamentably, only 3 barrels (425 magnums) were produced as the vineyard is in the process of being replanted. The wine is powerful for a 1995, with an opaque purple color, and intensely ripe black currant aromas intermingled with smoke, pain grille, licorice, and chocolate. This deep, full-bodied, multi-layered wine is the essence of Napa Cabernet Sauvignon. Although it reveals plenty of tannin, it is well-meshed in the wine's impressive richness and layered texture. Still youthful and grapy, this Cabernet will develop well for another 15-20+ years. (94pts. Robert Parker)
