The pale brick colored 1996 Cabernet Sauvignon Signature, blended of 95% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Merlot, opens with sweaty leather and medicinal notions over a core of prunes, dried blackberries and truffles with a touch of damp soil. Medium-bodied and chewy with bags of freshness, it has an earthy palate and an herbal lift on the savory finish.
