I believe I spent about $100 on this wine in 2000, and it did not disappoint. My wife and I had it with a steak dinner after decanting for about one hour. Fine nose, smooth structure with intense ruby red colors, jammy plum and chocolate cherries on the palette. Absolutely delicious.

If you love solid California Cabs. with a ton of tannins. This is the wine for you. Cherry with an even fruitier hint of berry - very smooth and the tannins linger on the palate. A very nice sipping wine.

This one is holding up well and can last for several more years. Need to decant for at least an hour.

Fantastic red!! Especially for a '98 Napa. Great fruit even 11 years after harvest. My only regret is that this is the last bottle.
