Other Reviews...
This is the first vintage that the Kay family put in 100% new American oak. A blockbuster effort, this wine conceals 14.9% alcohol in its personality, which is more akin to a dry vintage port than red table wine. This wine is terrific stuff, with blackberry fruit intermixed with camphor, asphalt, pepper, and new saddle leather. Viscous, rich, full-bodied, and still youthful, it requires another two to four years of cellaring. This is a wine capable of lasting 25-30 years. Anticipated maturity: 2004-2025.
