What a beautiful mouthful of California claret! This really shows off what people talk about in Cali cab-based wines ... bright plummy fruit both on the nose and in the mouth, with a bit of graphite and leather in the mid-palate and a great finish that comes back with darker berries. Much more than I would have expected from 2000. Wish I would have waited 1-2 more years ... well, maybe not.

Deep purple colour, aromas of blackberries and cherries, silky texture, good fruit, fading tannins - fine, but drink up

soft berry fruit, medium finish. Not bad, but probably not worth the price

A little one-dimensional, nice texture, but not much acid.
