Score 92/100 · Drink 2006-2022, Robert Parker, Aug 2002

Clark-Claudon's 1999 Cabernet Sauvignon exhibits an opaque blue/purple color, and a sweet perfume of minerals, blue as well as black fruits. This medium to full-bodied offering possesses outstanding purity in addition to well-integrated tannin, acidity, and wood. Vintages to date have blended grace, power, and subtlety, resulting in extremely impressive Cabernets. Moreover, they are built to last. This is a brilliant effort from this up-and-coming Napa estate. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2022 Tel. (707) 965-9393

Medium red. Currant, dark chocolate, menthol and a whiff of game on the nose. Juicy on entry, then firm-edged and cool, with bitter cherry and floral flavors nicely framed by brisk acidity. Has a penetrating quality, but ultimately comes off as a bit lean, even tart, in the middle palate and a tad dry on the finish.
