"The elegantly-styled, charming, deep ruby/purple/plum-colored 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon reveals less weight, flesh, and concentration than the 2002. A sweet nose of black currants, cherries, spice box, and damp earth is followed by elegant, medium-bodied flavors, well integrated tannin, a subtle dosage of wood, and a good finish. It should evolve nicely for 10-15 years. This is an estate-bottled 100% Cabernet Sauvignon that is aged in 100% new French oak for 25 months prior to bottling."
