Nose
It offers savory aromatics of spiced meats along with strawberries and chocolate.
Palate
The mouthfeel is remarkable in its balance, with dense and broad texture alongside flavors of sandalwood leading into a finish with excellent length. The 1997 is showing very few signs of slowing down. Decanting suggested. Given proper cellaring, this wine can be enjoyed now through 2025.
Appearance
Our 1997 Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon has a ruby rim and a dark, opaque hue showing few signs of aging.
