The profound 1997 Shiraz/Cabernets JSM made from 61% Shiraz 24% Cabernet Franc and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon (14.5% alcohol and 2500 cases produced) is a massive complex yet elegant and incredibly harmonious wine. The color is a saturated black/purple. This full-bodied wine is bursting with richness and the complex savory elements that will make wine lovers go ga-ga. A thrilling full-flavored offering this wine is just beginning to strut its stuff. Anticipated maturity: 2001-2015. Celestial black currants intermixed with coffee licorice Asian spices and pain grille notes are more reminiscent of a blockbuster vintage of Mouton-Rothschild than what I would expect from a Shiraz/Cabernets blend.
