“Bottled in April, 2000, this elegant, stylish, graceful wine is an attractive, dark ruby/purple-colored effort with subtle notes of sweet oak, licorice, herbs, and black fruits. While not massive, it is medium-bodied and ripe, with sweet tannin. Forty-eight percent of the production was utilized in this blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot. Anticipated maturity: 2004-2018.” – Rated 88, Robert Parker
“Gorgeous spice, berry and cherry aromas. Medium- to full-bodied, with plenty of good fruit and medium tannins, but a slightly hollow midpalate. Best after 2005. 20,830 cases made. (JS)” – Rated 87, Wine Spectator
