The dark purple-colored 1997 Cabernet Sauvignon (100% Cabernet Sauvignon) exhibits a textbook bouquet of cigar box, cedar, and black currant aromas nicely supported by subtle toasty oak. Made in an international style, without any characteristics that speak of Italy or Sicily, it is chewy and rich, with good jammy fruit, decent acidity, and low tannin. It should drink well for a decade.
