1999 Gary Farrell Encounter Cabernet Sauvignon Sonoma

(92 Points) “Smooth, smoky and stylish. Huge flavors of cassis and plum are rich yet controlled. The tannins are meaty and firm, but they should subside within a year or two. The coffee, toast and vanilla notes on the finish are just about perfect. This wine is right on, a reflection of Sonoma Cab at its best. — Michael Schachner” Wine Enthusiast.
