The 1998 Cabernet Sauvignon Pritchard Hill is a fine wine. While it does not reveal much weight it is a dense plum/purple-colored big thick concentrated effort. Evolved aromas of smoke cedar tapenade blackberries creme de cassis and creosote are followed by a lush full-bodied voluptuously-textured 1998 exhibiting superb intensity as well as low acid sweet pure flavors. This is a dazzling example of extremely ripe Cabernet Sauvignon made under less than ideal conditions. It will drink well upon its release and over the following two decades.
