Tasting notes
Saturated ruby-red. High-toned aromas of truffle and nut skin lack freshness. Then rich, sweet and velvety in the mouth, but rather evolved for young cabernet, and a bit lacking in verve. Finishes with rather lush tannins and a faint dry edge. Can't match the grip of the 2002 Amy's Vineyard cabernet. (A second bottle had a more pronounced oxidative character.)

The ripe 2000 Cabernet Sauvignon displays a style somewhere between a Pauillac and St.-Emilion. A dense purple color is accompanied by aromas of black currants, tobacco, licorice, and French oak. Spicy and medium to full-bodied, with considerable depth and richness, it can be drunk now and over the next 10-15 years.
