"From a vineyard adjacent to St. Helena's graveyard, the 2003 Cemetery is a drop-dead blend of 47% Cabernet Sauvignon, 47% Merlot, and the rest Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. A big, black currant, spice box, lead pencil shavings, and earth-scented bouquet is followed by a deep, rich, pure, elegant wine with a well-integrated oak component. Drink it over the next 8-12 years. I can't say enough good things about Behrens and Hitchcock. This is the type of winery operation that gives hope to aspiring home winemakers who want to make it in the big time. They have followed their dreams, unearthed top vineyards that were available to everybody, and are making non-interventionalistic wines of extraordinary personality and character."
