2003 Switchback Ridge Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley Peterson Family Vineyard RP--94

Robert Parker: 94 Points
Wine Advocate # 162 Dec 2005 Robert Parker 94 Drink: 2005 - 2020 $90-$125 (80) The 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon is rich and full, but structured, tannic, broad, and savory. Opaque purple to the rim, with a big, smoky, earthy nose of melted licorice, creme de cassis, espresso, and chocolate, the wine is huge, dense, and full-bodied, but beautifully balanced. This is classic New World/Napa Cabernet Sauvignon to drink over the next 12-15 years.
