Our tonnage was reduced by about 20% in 1996, and to achieve the quality we wanted in our red wines, we employed a rigorous selection process in the assembly of the final blends. As a result, although production was down, we were able to craft a Cabernet with big, ripe, red fruit flavors, spicy, concentrated aroma, and a long, smooth finish.

At peak maturity 11 years after vintage. Mature flavors of plum and tobacco. Finish was too short, and the wine faded at the 2 hour mark. OK.
