Score 94/100 · Drink 2000-2015, Robert Parker, Dec 2000

The 1997 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa looks to be one of the finest wines made by the winemaking team of proprietor Justin Meyer and winemaker/viticulturist Daniel Baron. The 1997 Napa is an impressive effort. A blend of 93% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest 5% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot, this wine has a flamboyant nose of fruitcake, licorice, Asian spice, black currants, and toasty wood. Deep, opulent, viscous, intense, chewy, and thick, it is a classic Napa Cabernet Sauvignon made in an all-American oak lovers' style. It should drink well for 12-15 years. (Not yet released) Tel.

Saturated ruby-red. Pungent aromas of black cherry, cassis, licorice, minerals and mint. Juicy and enticing, with more harmonious ripeness and a faint minty nuance. Finishes firm and persistent, with finer tannins than the Alexander-as well as more supporting middle-palate material.
