Score 91/100 · Drink 2002-2017, Robert Parker, Jun 2002

The 1997 Cain Five, one of the finest wines Cain has yet produced, is a superb blend of 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Cabernet Franc, 1% Petit Verdot, and 1% Malbec. This is a classy, rich, concentrated effort revealing copious quantities of black fruits intermixed with licorice, coffee, and vanillin. This wine is medium to full-bodied, with a velvety texture. This rich, elegant, intense, well-balanced, impressive red should drink well for 15+ years. Production was 6,770 cases. Tel. (707) 963-1616

Drenched in a lovely deep colour, this Bordeaux blend (truly Napa Valley in style) is multi-layered with rich and intense fruit. Concentrated, lush but elegant. (JR)
