James Suckling Review
Rated 94
A refined and complete example of Napa cabernet sauvignon showing all the poise and freshness of the cool vintage. The palate is taut and austere, with a good core of fruit, fine tannins, a textured mouthfeel and balanced acidity, leading to a savory, mouthwatering finish. Drink or hold.
