Aged in 100% French oak, the dense ruby/plum/purple-colored 1996 Cabernet Sauvignon Art Series offers textbook aromas of tobacco, cedar, cassis, and new oak in addition to deep, full-bodied flavors with good acidity, moderate tannin, and excellent texture. Long, persuasive, rich, and well-balanced, it will be at its finest between now and 2015. Impressive!
