The gorgeous, saturated ruby/purple-colored 1997 Cabernet Sauvignon (2,800 cases) is a blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Cabernet Franc. It offers sweet, jammy, black currant, mineral, spice box, and tobacco aromas, full-bodied flavors, a layered mid-palate, and gobs of ripe tannin in the lengthy finish. Approachable, it will be even better with several years of cellaring, and should last for two decades or more. (release date 10/00) Tel. (707) 944-2676; Fax (707) 944-8411

Tremendous flavor, dark, ripe, rich and packed with black cherry, currant, anise, cedar and spice. Finishes with firm but deliciously well-integrated tannins. Best from 2003 through 2012. 2,400 cases made. –JL
