The 1999 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve is a seriously endowed, ambitious effort boasting a dense purple color along with a thick, juicy bouquet of cedar, tobacco leaf, black currants, licorice, and smoke. Full-bodied, powerful, and rich, it appears to have an impressive future ahead of it. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2017. Tel. (707) 833-4134; Fax (707) 833-4200

Oh, how tough this wine is now. It’s like a mummy, wrapped in tannins. It would be easy to pass it by until you notice the intensity of cherry-blackberry fruit. Despite its age, the wine is still aggressively young. Will it soften and improve with cellaring? Probably. Try in 2009. ——S.H.(11/15/2004)—— 90
