點擊次數：6063

A success in this inconsistent vintage, the full-bodied 1998 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate (2,100 cases) exhibits moderate tannin, as well as earthy, black currant fruit intermixed with vanilla and spice box. It cuts a large swath across the palate, but ideally needs another 1-2 years of cellaring; it should keep for two decades. Tel. (707) 944-1364

Drying tannins make the already quite tart flavors even harder to handle. Metallic notes coat plummy-pruny aromas on the nose, and cranberry notes in the mouth. Finishes with more metal, and some oak. ——D.T.(6/1/2002)—— 83
