The 1997 Cabernet Sauvignon exhibits a dense purple color, as well as abundant chocolate and cassis fruit intermixed with licorice and tobacco. It is a full-bodied, concentrated Cabernet that is likely to surprise consumers who think the Russian River is only a source for fine Chardonnay, Pinot, and Syrah. It should drink well for 10-12 years. Tel. (707) 823-2378; Fax (707) 823-0918
