91 Points Robert Parker
The deep ruby/purple-colored 1998 Cabernet Sauvignon (100% of this varietal) displays notions of American and French oak in its plum, cassis liqueur, cedar, and spice box-scented nose. This thick, juicy, full-bodied, opulent, and at the same time, well-delineated wine represents a brilliant marriage of power and elegance. More good news is that there are 1,800 cases of this authoritatively flavorful yet stylish Cabernet Sauvignon that is available for a realistic price. Anticipated maturity: now-2015.

Medium to full red-purple, bright and alluring. The bouquet is rich and dense, flooded with sweet cassis and mulberry fruit, not to mention oak. The palate offers all of the above, with heaps of concentration and extract. Built in heroic mode. Drink to 2015.
