'97 Cabernet Sauvignon 'Vin de Terroir'

'97 Cabernet Sauvignon 'Vin de Terroir' Wine Details
Price: $41.00 per bottle

Description: A unique and fascinating expression of the cabernet sauvignon varietal and a unique micro-terroir (our oldest vineyard slope, 22 years old in 97, 4 south-west facing acres at ~1800 ft.). Strong Havana nose with black cherry and plum and a glorious ruby color. This is a big, fleshy, hearty wine. It offers the same phenomenal fruit concentration as our 1995 'Vin de Terroir' in a slightly more elegant, civilized form, with rich ripe tannins softly playing in the background and the bright berry fruit displayed up-front. Astounding length and complexity. Decant a few hours before serving, or age for another three to five years. 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. Life expectancy: 15-25 years.
