(Wines Located in New York)
"...offers an opaque purple color, a gorgeous nose of toasty oak, and a silky, concentrated texture with unobtrusive acidity or tannin. The wine possesses layered richness, remarkable balance, sweet, pure fruit, and a finish that lasts for nearly 30 seconds. These wines are aged in 100% new oak, and tend to possesses at least 97% Cabernet Sauvignon, with the balance Cabernet Franc. Amazingly, the oak is not a pronounced component in the final wine, a testament to excellent winemaking and the concentration these wines possess. Like so many top 1994s from Napa and Sonoma, this wine will be accessible when released in early 1998, but will age well for two decades."(94pts)

17590 Bryant Family Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 1995
lscl (Wines Located in New York)
"The full-bodied, opaque purple-colored 1995 Cabernet Sauvignon possesses a sweet fragrance of jammy cassis and wild blueberries, intertwined with floral and mineral scents. The effect of the 100% new Taransaud French oak barrels is minimal given the fact that only a background note of toast/pain grillee is noticeable. On the palate, the wine is extraordinarily dense and rich, but neither heavy nor flabby. With its remarkable purity, delineation, and layers of rich, concentrated fruit, this appears to be one of the superstars of the 1995 vintage."(99pts)

1lscl (Wines Located in New York)
"The 1997 Cabernet Sauvignon is a richer, more expansive example than the 1997 Eden Rock, with an opaque purple color, graceful, creamy-textured black currant flavors, and subtle notes of toasty oak. Expressive aromatically (black fruits galore) and full-bodied, it possesses the vintage's tell-tale silkiness and depth. Because of its low acidity and ripe personality, it should drink well upon release and last for two decades."(96pts)

17604 Harlan Estate Red - Vintage 1997
(Wines Located in New York)
"The 1997 Harlan Estate is one of the greatest Cabernet Sauvignon-based wines I have ever tasted. A blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, with the rest Merlot and Cabernet Franc, this enormously-endowed, profoundly rich wine must be tasted to be believed. Opaque purple-colored, it boasts spectacular, soaring aromatics of vanilla, minerals, coffee, blackberries, licorice, and cassis. In the mouth, layer after layer unfold powerfully yet gently. Acidity, tannin, and alcohol are well-balanced by the wine's unreal richness and singular personality. The finish exceeds one minute."(100pts)

"...flirts with perfection. This wine shares some of the chocolatey characteristics of the two Merlot vintages, but there is more cassis liqueur, blackberries, blueberries, and pain grille (toast) notes in this lavishly rich, flamboyant proprietary red. The wine's flavors lingered for 42 seconds on the palate. Full-bodied, marvelously concentrated, and extremely well-balanced, this wine's acidity, tannin, and high alcohol are completely buried beneath the complex fruit and extract of this profound offering. I remember shaking my head in disbelief at the quality of these wines."(98pts)

It boasts massive body, great purity, loads of intensity as well as concentration, and a nectar-like unctuosity on the mid-palate and finish. This tannic, unevolved baby tastes like a California version of a Pauillac first-growth. It s that special!..."(98pts)

Monte Bello
(Wines Located in New York)
"The 1996 Cabernet Sauvignon Monte Bello (80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Merlot, and 9% Petit Verdot that reached 13.4% alcohol) represents a severe selection of only 40% of the vineyard's crop. A blockbuster, powerful, concentrated Monte Bello, it possesses an opaque purple color, plenty of spicy oak in the nose (100% American oak has always been used for aging Monte Bello), and a deep, layered, concentrated style. There is plenty of tannin, but it is sweeter than that found in the 1997, and the wine is more concentrated and extracted. There is a touch of oak in the flavors, which are otherwise dominated by minerals and jammy black fruits."(95pts)

" is a big wine (14.9% natural alcohol), but the alcohol is buried beneath an avalanche of creme de cassis, wood smoke, toast, licorice and spring flower characteristics. Super full-bodied with fabulous fruit purity, a broad, expansive mouthfeel, lots of glycerin and a huge upside, this 2001 is still an infant at age ten, but it is approachable as well as compelling to smell and taste. It has at least another three decades of aging potential ahead of it and is one of the great young, legendary classics from Napa Valley."(100pts)
