The terrific, opaque blue/purple-colored 1999 La Muse (a 695-case blend of 89% Merlot and 11% Cabernet Sauvignon) offers up gorgeous aromas of espresso, melted caramel, black cherry jam, tobacco, and flowers. It reveals an unctuous texture (amazing for a 1999) as well as a huge palate impact, yet great balance, purity, and overall harmony. This prodigious effort will be drinkable young, yet last for 20-25 years.

This is a tough, briary wine, very tannic, with flavors of dried herbs, earth and blackberries. A Merlot-Cabernet Sauvignon blend, it may blossom into a magnificent wine in a decade, but it's a gamble.

Tight and focused, though a touch dry, with cherry and cranberry flavors that are well-framed with cedary, camphor-laced oak. Smoky, charry olive ftertaste. Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Best from 2003 through 2008.
