Transluscent cranberry in color, fat, widespaced, clear legs. Red cherry, hint of black olive, and vanilla on the nose. Tart red cherry on the barely medium palate, showing a little vegetal. Fairly simple and definately thin. Just barely a medium finish. 3 out of 3 prefer the Viader and 3 out of 3 prefer '99 CC Grand Estates to either. I will be a bit of wait for the '01. 86 points. These two '00s aren't bad, they just have no stuffin'.
