This impressive Cabernet Sauvignon exhibits a healthy, saturated dark ruby color, as well as a ripe nose of cassis and jammy berry fruit. Full-bodied, rich, and savory, with well integrated acidity, tannin, and wood, this is an impressively-endowed, flavorful wine for drinking over the next decade.

1993 Duncan Peak Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon

CONNOISURS' GUIDE to California Wine:

...curranty fruit becomes a leading player in the moderately rich flavors that follow. Nicely rounded in feel with a sense of emerging suppleness already evident, the wine is presently limited by its youth more than anything else and seems a sure bet to grow handsomely over the next 4 to 5 years.

1995 Duncan Peak Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon

CONNOISURS' GUIDE to California Wine:
...an admirable effort. Attractive cassis-like fruit scents can be found along with fairly forthright oaky sweetness in the pleasing and rich aromas. Supple and well balance, the wine displays properly matured fruit character and, ...the wine has a lengthy finish.

Norm Roby’s Guide to
Winery Direct Wines:

91
This mouth-filling, classic-style wine is what you hope to find from small, truly artisan wineries. These guys do everything by hand and are still using a basket press...this ‘95 is berry ripe with a lovely floral-spicy aroma and supple, layered texture. Full-bodied with a long finish.

It comes from a mountain in Mendocino that should have its own appellation. Blackberries tannin acid balance is exciting. A winery to watch.

I like this wine a lot. It is solid, racy and fresh with a long, juicy finish. Lifted berry fruit. Clean and supple with lots of energy and bright flavors.
