| Cabernet Sauvignon Wine Tasting Notes
1997 Davis Bynum
Hedin Vineyard Russian River Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Score: 88.0
"An impressive, mouthfilling wine with dense blackberry and cassis character, light spice and soft tannins. A substantial wine for red meats and stew."
|
1997 Hawk Crest
California Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve
Score: 88.0
"The '97 is deep, elegant and well-structured. The nose only hints at the wonderful concentration of blackberry fruit on the palate. Its accented with toasty French oak and firm, sweet, well-integrated tannin. Good value."
|
1997 Rodney Strong
Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon:
Score: 88.0
"A $16 wine with a $25 nose - penetrating chocolate mint, butter brickle and dry red berries. The nose follows through to the dry palate with light tannin and a slightly bitter finish."
|
1999 Caliterra
Valle Central Chile Cabernet Sauvignon
Score: 88.0
"Juicy blueberry jam and black currant fruit, big, powerful, with mouthfilling tannins. This is a wine to cellar for about five years. An amazing value."

Amador County Cabernet Sauvignon

"Concentrated blackberry and cassis, quite aromatic, dark chocolate and toast to give it more dimension, and a full, dark fruit finish."
|
1997 Stags Leap
Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Score: 89.0
"Concentrated blackberry and black currant, oak spice and chocolate, medium bodied with firm tannin and herbal undercurrents. Excellent now, it has a lot more"
|
1997 St. Clement
Howell Mountain Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Score: 89.0
"Dark chocolate and toast over blackberry jam, firm but soft tannin, and a long finish. Good now, it has great potential for aging."
|
1998 Robert Mondavi
North Coast Cabernet Sauvignon
Score: 89.0
"Tart herbal blackberry fruit, dry, with good aromatics and expansive, tart fruit in the mouth. Moderate tannin, mouthwatering finish. "
|
1996 Meridian Vineyards
California Cabernet Sauvignon Coastal Reserve
Score: 90.0
"A fabulous Cab, rich cassis aroma, full-bodied, sweet ripe blackberry fruit on the palate, soft tannin, and a dark chocolate-cherry finish."
|
1997 Robert Mondavi Winery
Stags Leap District Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon unfiltered
Score: 91.0
"Big and full of potential, the SLD is packed with ripe blackberry fruit, subtle herbs and firm tannins. A wine to lay away for five to ten years."
|
1997 Robert Mondavi Winery
Oakville District Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon unfiltered
Score: 92.0
"Deeper, with sweeter fruit and softer texture than the SLD, but the tannin is actually more astringent, leading to a drying finish. Great potential for the patient collector. "
|
1996 Stellenryck
South Africa Cabernet Sauvignon
Score: 92.0
"Fascinating, world class Cabernet-complex and very engaging nose of black currant, dry, berry fruit, subtle oak and vanilla, moderate tannin and a long finish. Excellent now, it will certainly age a long time. It would pair well with aged beef or lamb. Good value"
