The 1999 Cabernet Sauvignon offers a deep ruby/purple color, lavish toasty oak, and attractive sweet black currant fruit mixed with smoke, earth, and herb characteristics. Although the finish is angular, the wood too noticeable, and the wine lacks concentration, it is a solidly made effort, but preposterously over-priced. This Cabernet hardly represents cutting edge winemaking, but it remains immensely popular with most consumers. - Robert M. Parker, Jr. (31-08-2002)
Bright red-ruby. Aromas of redcurrant, bitter cherry, tarry oak and bitter chocolate. Juicy flavors of blackberry, redcurrant and spicy oak, with a slightly dusty note of coffee grounds. Nicely balanced wine with good texture and decent concentration.- Stephen Tanzer (5/22)
