1999 Cabernet Sauvignon

1999 Cabernet Sauvignon Wine Details
Price: $36.00 per bottle

Description: Cabernet Sauvignon is something altogether special & as profoundly rich a wine as ever I’ve been associated with. This wine calls for an elegant dinner based on red flesh, rich & saucy, something you can really sink your talons into. It has the intense staining quality of ripely dark wild mulberry, a multiplexed layering of darkest chocolate with cherry coulis, cinnamon & a number of exotic spices I don’t recognize, pungent earthy notes, hints of cedar & leather, fully mouth watering, a complete experience sliding down the throat. I do believe that I even detected the wafting perfume of flowering barrel cactus when I set my tongue & nose to a glass this morning . . . purely to arrive at this description, you understand. Grapes: Lone Madrone Vineyard in the York Mountain area. Ageability: a long, long time.
