Sadly only 400 cases were made of the 1997. The nearly perfect 1997 Cabernet Sauvignon Herb Lamb Vineyard was bottled in May 1999 and appears to have recovered beautifully from bottle shock. Saturated black/purple-colored with a knock-out nose of blackberries blueberries lavender licorice and toast this is a profound full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon. It displays a seamless velvety texture layers of concentrated fruit and a 45+ second finish. Am I being too conservative in not giving it a 3-digit score? Anticipated maturity: 2002-2025.Tel.
