A youthful ruby/purple color is followed by intriguing cedar, tobacco, and pure blackcurrant aromas. Medium to full-bodied, with an excellent balance of power, richness, and elegance, this is a classic example of Napa Cabernet Sauvignon. This impressive, still youthful wine should continue to drink well for another 12-15 years.The tasting notes for this section are from two single blind tastings, one conducted in May, 1996, in California, and the other in June, 1996, in Baltimore.
