<p>94 points from Wine &amp; Spirits: &#8220;Oak enhances the lean texture of Carneros merlot, without obscuring the scents of red fruit and earth.

It is fairly full and extremely well-balanced on the palate, and its opening lushness is quickly met by firming acidity towards the back. Drinking it now would certainly work out well, but this is a wine that will unfold into a lot better over the next several years.&#8221; (3/07)</p> 2009-10-26T15:40:35-07:00 hdv-red-wine-2003 10180142 Cabernet Sauvignon and Red Blends 2009-10-26T15:40:35-07:00 2009-12-26T10:10:39-08:00 HDV 2003, Carneros, Merlot, Napa Valley, Red, Red Blend, Red Wine 94 points from Wine & Spirits: "Oak enhances the lean texture of Carneros merlot, without obscuring the scents of red fruit and earth.
