| | The 2000 Reserve was WS wine of the day today at 91 points. This was similar to the notes from WS on the reserve, just not as complete. I got the same fruit - black cherry and currant plus some plum. No anise for me on this one and no dash of mocha on the finish. Good and balanced tannins. 89 IMO, but a hard repeat buy at the $56 I paid. On a side note, the 99 Reserve Cab was outstanding! Might make the 2000 reserve worth a try. | | | |

| | i was just bitchin about this at ws......lewis sent out an email regarding the rating. while i am sure it is a fine wine, 91 points and $80(winery price) is nothing to brag about, imo. yet they sent out an all alerts bulletin! it got a laugh out of me, at least! | | | |

| | I agree TBird, I got the same email. I laughed, especially since you can find this all day at $69 on the net. I might bite on 1 at $69 to see how it compars to the 99 which I loved. | | | |
