WINEMAKER'S NOTE
The complexity of flavors and exceptional elegance of our 1996 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon reflects the diversity of outstanding terroirs of Napa Valley. Notes of cassis, ripe berry, plum, spices, violets and chocolate unfold in the intriguing aromas and velvety flavors. Napa Valleys 1996 vintage yielded a small crop of intensely flavored grapes, giving this Cabernet Sauvignon remarkable richness, concentration and length on the palate.

    Drank the bottle 3/2011. Good nose but there was no finish. I think the wine was to old and should have been drunk 5 or 6 years ago.
