"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." 93 Points Wine Advocate
