Description: "Rombauer Vineyards' 2003 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is a plush, concentrated wine that exhibits ripe fruit flavors of blackberry, blueberry, and dark cherries that pick up momentum and open gracefully into the finish. There are supple tannins that highlight the fruit driven style of this wine. This wine has a tannin structure to last many years, yet is fruity enough to enjoy now. "

Review: 91. This a suculent, juicy cab, without being jammy, and with a tannic structure that is graceful in support of the friut, and yet has it's own finesse. Very memorable. Foward cherry and blueberry present themselves early amist silky textures and a touch of spice and stay for a little while; the wines descript is good, but I thought the fruits showed up earlier. Best served at cellar temperature. Drink now, and don't worry about decanting.
