Score 91/100 · Drink 2015-2025, Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Jul 2015

Good deep red. Expressive aromas of redcurrant, mocha, smoke, leather and spices, with subtle balsamic suggestions of cedar and sandalwood. Plush, layered and moderately sweet, offering a fine-grained texture to its slightly medicinal flavors of black raspberry, menthol and spices. The serious finish features a restrained sweetness and substantial, slightly tough tannins that will soften further with more time in bottle.

The luxury-priced 1994 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve reveals a dark plum/purple color, and lavish quantities of toasty new oak in the smoky, vanillin, and cassis-scented nose. This forward, soft, medium to full-bodied wine possesses very good to excellent concentration, but the abundant wood flavors push the taster's tolerance to the limit. While this Reserve offering is undoubtedly excellent, I did not detect the depth or concentration necessary to support aging beyond a decade. Tel. (707) 944-0290; Fax (707) 944-8932
