Medium garnet-brick colour. Intense, complex aromas of earth, game and spice box. Dried plums, wilted violets and soy in the initial whiffs, followed by truffles, tobacco, anise and a certain amount of sweaty leather. Crisp acidity and a medium level of fine tannins on the palate with a very long earth and spice finish. - Lisa Perrotti-Brown
Dark-hued, rich and intense, deftly balanced, with a pretty array of ripe currant, anise, black cherry and plum. Concentrated, with firm tannins, it finishes with a bold, rich aftertaste that shows off cedar, sage and pretty earthy nuances.--California Cabernet '74/'84/'94 retrospective. Drink now through 2009. 8,500 cases made. — JL (1997)
(14.1% alcohol): Full, deep red with an amber rim. Distinctly sauvage aromas of redcurrant, coffee, leather, game and spicecake. Suave, seamless and fully mature, offering a plush texture and moderate sweetness to its slightly decadent flavors of currant, leather, smoke, mocha, earth and fresh herbs. This wild boy is at its apogee right now, although some tasters may find it too funky. Finishes classically dry, with dusty sweet tannins and considerable sex appeal.- Stephen Tanzer (7/215)
