When I first tasted this wine in 03 I was impressed with the density, balance, and amount of fruit it displayed along with the overall quality. I made a mental note to try in a couple. Forgot about this until yesterday. Put another gold star on Fritzs' scorecard. 78% Cabernet, 11% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Franc, and4% Petitew Verdot this has to be one of the 5 best wines from the 00 vintage. Red and black fruits, violets, spice, and currant are on the nose and come over to the palate along with a touch of mountain bramle. Solid entry, weighty center and a 4+ lapper finish. This exquisite Spring Mountain property lays it on the line. 91/90. 45 by the box. 13.5% alc. WW

Had this and the 98 Oroppas for lunch today with BRW. Made him promise to post under the penalty of the dreaded "Lost Corkscrew". WW [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/wink.gif[/img]

Another for lunch today. Lovely brite ruby. The nose has added weight as does the entry. This is an extroadanry bottle of juice that has to rank with the top 5 botlings of this uneven vintage. Not quite enough improvement to upgrade the score yet. WW
