A classic expression of the richness and grace that are inherent in the best Cabernets of its appellation, this stunning wine delivers a wealth of extraordinarily deep and defined fruit, while hewing to fairly polished, if still somewhat tight lines.

It is less dramatic than some of its mates, yet its combination of concentration, refinement and richness earns it a place at the head of the class. It is certain to rank with the outstanding wines of its vintage when given 5 to 10 years of aging that it so clearly commends.
