vintage: 1999 90 Wine Enthusiast, Apr. 2003

Has an inviting nose of dry loam, driftwood, toffee, coffee bean, toasted nuts, marshmallows and greens. Similar flavors are rounded out with sauted mushrooms, dried dates and figs. Offers plenty to explore and savor within a balanced, straightforward package founded on approachable fruit."

vintage: 1997 90 Wine Enthusiast, Nov. 2001

Aromas of dark chocolate, licorice, cedar and spice open this burly wine. Tart black cherry and ample oak show on the palate. Closes long, with a chocolate note and big tannins that need some time to resolve.
