A very nice, well-structured Cab. It has blackberry flavors with a rich earthiness, and a unique note of blueberries; the oak is light and subtle. Finishes with a scour of rustic tannins. At its best now. ——S.H.(6/1/2005)—— 88

Has those gritty but fine Dry Creek tannins, and a slightly wild and woolly edge to the currant and blackberry flavors, which suggests midterm aging. Very gentle in the mouth, with a good, rich finish. Crisp acids stimulate the palate throughout.——S.H.(12/15/2003)—— 86
