Score 88-90/100 · Drink 2001-2015, Robert Parker, Dec 1998
The 1996 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate is chewy, full-bodied, and thick. Not yet complex, it is super-concentrated, with gobs of toasty oak (about 40% American oak is utilized in the wine's upbringing), and a low acid, chunky, heavyweight style. If the 1996 develops more complexity, it will merit a score in the low nineties. Anticipated maturity: 2001-2015. Tel. (707) 944-1304; Fax (707) 944-1325
