Lively crimson, correct, scented, aromatic, gentle, good balance. Some lift. There's still some tannin but the overall balance is good for a few years yet. Not a blockbuster. (JR)

The 1997 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa is one of the finest regular Cabernet Sauvignons Mondavi has produced. A blend of 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Syrah (13.9% alcohol), this dark ruby-colored wine with purple nuances has sweet black currant flavors mixed with spice box, licorice, and toast notes. Fleshy and open-knit, it should drink well for 10-14 years. Tel. (707) 226-1395 and (800) MONDAVI; fax (707) 251-4386
