The 1997 Tato (usually a blend of 40% Cabernet Sauvignon and 60% Merlot, aged in French oak for two years) exhibits a dark ruby/purple color in addition to an attractive, Bordeaux-like nose of cedar wood, spice box, black currants, and wood. It also possesses medium body, ripe, concentrated flavors, low acidity, and a fine finish. It can be drunk now as well as over the next decade.
