Description:
The ’97 from this vineyard earned The Wine Spectator wine of the week on their web site. Unfortunately it was almost sold out by then, but those who have followed this vineyard over the years had their’s in their cellars. While ’98 was not considered a good year for cabernet, some vineyards fared quite well. Steiner was one of them.
Deep ruby color with purple hues. Fairly intense nose of cassis, sweet herbs, tobacco and chocolate. The flavors echo the nose with a slight impression of sweet fruit, ripe supple tannins, good but balanced acidity and nice length. Quite full and rich, it is not a blockbuster but shows impeccable balance and should age nicely for some years. A worthy follow-up to the ’97. 123 cases produced
