There are only 2,500 bottles of the dark ruby/garnet-colored, 100% Cabernet Sauvignon 1996 Coniale. It offers a Medoc-like nose of underbrush, minerals, red and black currants, and licorice. Complex, with cedary, spicy notes added to the flavors, this medium-bodied, moderately tannic, austere wine should continue to drink well for a decade.
