"The wine is silky and voluptuous, a la a great Pomerol, and is beginning to reveal some amber/orange hues in its murky, deep garnet color. It is an interesting, provocative, extremely complex and well-balanced Cabernet Sauvignon that offers many more facets than the mainstream toasty new oak/blackcurrant school of California Cabernet Sauvignon winemaking. . .What does this wine taste like? Imagine taking twenty different dishes from an Asian restaurant, several bottles of barbecue sauce, a block of Valrhona chocolate, throwing all of them into a cuisinart, and then adding to this concoction several glasses of black-raspberry and grape juice. I loved it! [The tasting notes for this section are from two single blind tastings, one conducted in May, 1996, in California, and the other in June, 1996, in Baltimore.]"
