Score 88/100 · Robert Parker
The 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon is an elegant, dark ruby-hued, medium-bodied effort offering aromas of earth, berry fruit, herbs, and spice. It reflects this vintage, which has produced very good Cabernets, although they have not reached the pinnacles of the finest 2002s and 2001s. ||Previously recommended: 2002 Insignia (95), 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon Backus Vineyard (96+).||Tel.
