Production: 8,500 cases; Alcohol: 13.9%; Blend: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon; Harvest Dates: October 23 to November 7.This was one of the latest harvests ever in Napa Valley (because of very cold weather during both spring and summer), and the mountain vineyards took even longer to reach maturity. From the Tre Colline, Chabot and St. Helena Home vineyards as well as tiny components from the Bancroft Ranch and Marston Ranch sites, the 1998 Private Reserve is fully mature, but should keep for another 5-10 years. More French than Napa in style, this earthy, spicy, foresty, herbal-scented wine reveals sweet plum, cola, cedar and mint notes, a healthy dark plum/garnet color, a medium-bodied mouthfeel, and lots of mineral earthiness (a characteristic of this cooler year).
