Estimate
...copious notes of flowers, lead pencil shavings, white chocolate, blackberries, blueberries and cassis. This huge, pure, rich Cabernet Sauvignon possesses good acidity, a stunning texture, copious but sweet tannins, and a long finish.
Not in the same ripeness league as the ’01, but still an enormously attractive wine. It’s just a bit leaner, but perhaps more structured. Shows blackberry, currant, coffee, oak and herb flavors and some fairly big tannins.
Formally known as McWilliams Mt. Eden Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon.
