The Estate Bottled 2000 Cabernet Sauvignon was aged for twenty-one months in French oak barrels. After aging, the wine was delicately blended with small amounts of Petit Verdot and Malbec for optimum terroir - one redolent of dark berry fruit, currant, spiced leather and mocha. The wine’s full, soft tannins generously fill out the middle palate while adding sweetness and length to the finish. The wine was bottled in August of 2002 after minimal finishing with egg whites.
Wine Enthusiast A first rate Cab, notable for the intensity and persistence of its flavors. They include blackcurrants and cassis and the vanilla and smoke from charred oak. Tannins are rich and creamy. But it’s the wonderfully rich flavors that startle. Score: 91. —Steve Heimoff, June 01, 2004.All sizes are 750mL unless otherwise noted.
