The inky-colored 2000 Cabernet Sauvignon Christopher's Vineyard is tannic and dense, with plenty of muscle and structure, but not as much sweetness or charm as the 1999. The harvest was extremely late as this is one of the windiest and coolest sections of the Alexander Mountain Estate Vineyard. Nevertheless, this is a very good effort that will require patience. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2014.
