(100% cabernet sauvignon; Herrick vineyard is on Howell Mountain, while Moulds is on the western side of Napa Valley) Bright ruby-red. Aroma of sour cherry. Sweet on entry, then tight in the middle, with cooler flavors of violet, licorice, brown spices and mint. The chocolatey finishing flavor does not quite hide the slightly green tannins.

The 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon Herrick-Moulds (100% Cabernet Sauvignon from vineyards on Howell Mountain and Oakville) is a full-bodied, big, muscular effort boasting a dense purple color as well as a sweet nose of vanilla, black currants, cedar, and licorice. A toasty oak component adds a pleasant nuance to this well-balanced, full-bodied Cabernet. Enjoy it over the next 10-12 years.
