A spectacular offering is the 1997 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve. A blend of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Cabernet Franc that spends 36 months in barrel prior to being bottled without fining and filtration it is a beautifully fashioned smoky rich super-concentrated thick effort loaded with black cherry cassis earthy smoky toasty oak aromas and flavors as well as a full-bodied unctuous finish. This terrific Cabernet requires another 3-4 years of cellaring; it should keep for two decades. (Not yet released)Tel. (707) 833-4134; Fax (707) 833-4200
