Expert Reviews

86 Points | Connoisseurs' Guide to California Wine
90 Points | International Wine Cellar , May/June 2003

($85; a barrel selection for concentration, structure and ageability; aged an additional six months in oak) Good red-ruby. Musky, rather backward nose hints at black fruits and tar. Dense, fat and sweet, with raspberry and currant fruit notes complicated by tobacco and graphite. Sweet finish features fine, ripe tannins and tarry oak. This is solidly structured for aging, but there's also plenty of forward fruit.

Moving slightly south, Cabernet Sauvignon meets Merlot in roughly equal proportions in the red wines of Graves. In both of these Bordeaux regions, the top bottles...
